As a rider you don’t have to accept that riding enjoyment means enduring some level of discomfort. Bikes may come in set sizes and geometries, but individuals don’t.
As a bike fit specialists, I understand the role of the body alignment, flexibility and balance and how these factors influence each rider uniquely.
When I apply these principles to each rider, I am able to fine-tune all the geometry of your bike, as well as assist with form and riding style to create a perfectly pain free ride.
World Class Fitting
Dynamic fitting
Dynamic fitting is the most realistic. Using motion capture technology, Retül records a rider’s position while he or she is in motion to create the most realistic picture of the rider’s actual pedal strokes and body positions when out on the road and trails. Riding a bike is different than sitting on a bike, and capturing data dynamically presents a clearer and more accurate picture of a rider’s movements.
Measurement Accuracy
Measurement accuracy is vital. Slight inaccuracies (the difference of millimeters) can drastically change a rider’s feel after a ride. The Retül system is accurate to within less than a millimeter, creating true objective data which can be utilized by the fitter for the perfect biomechanical fit. Small adjustments can make a big difference in alleviating back, knee or neck pain, and those adjustments will improve a rider’s performance.
Biomechanics
Biomechanics are best assessed in 3D space. Fit data collected in a traditional two-dimensional plane (such as video) is fairly limited because the fitter has to isolate a single view at a time. In order to see how all of the applicable movements of the body are working together, the frontal and sagittal planes of a rider should be viewed as interdependent reference points. Retül’s motion sensors simultaneously gather data on multiple angles of the rider in three dimensions so a fitter can not only see measurements such as knee and hip angles, but also lateral knee tracking and hip lateral travel.
Efficiency
Efficiency is best for the fitter and the rider. As a fitter gains more experience with the Retül system, he or she will have greater efficiency and time savings compared with other methods of fitting. This allows the fitter to focus on his or her client and make the proper recommendations for each individual and personalized situation. The Retül system is designed to provide great utility to the fitter by providing comprehensive and accurate data. This creates an interactive experience for the rider in which data and fit changes can be discussed openly during the fit.

Follow-Up Appointment
AUD$150/HOUR
- A follow-up appointment is available for clients who have already been through a Retül analysis, and are in need of adjustment.
- A follow-up appointment is appropriate for a bike that has been fit by Retül within one year prior to the follow-up appointment date.
- A follow-up appointment is appropriate for part changes and recommendations.
- Note that each fit with Retül is guaranteed. If you are experiencing problems with your fit, appointments made within two weeks of original fit appointment will be free of charge.
