Bike Setup
Why Choose Anthony for your bikefit?
Anthony is a Sports Physiotherapist and has spent 6 years at university studying the human body. He has refined his theoretical knowledge with working as a Physiotherapist over the last 22 years with athletes of all levels including the elite New Zealand Representatives of many sporting codes.
His knowledge of injuries and how the body works and the ability to analyse your movements and be aware of biomechanical issues sets him head and shoulders above the standard bike mechanic fit. This scientific knowledge is then added to by his elite level riding and his intrinsic feel for how you should look and move on the bike.
No two riders are the same and Anthony takes your individual variables into account, be it your type of riding, your strengths or weaknesses, your flexibility or lack of, or your current or previous injuries. Sometimes its changes for you rather than the bike that he'll suggest as he considers all aspects of you on the bike.
All this in a professional service aimed at making you ride more comfortably, faster and for longer.
In Anthony's words: "I bring as much science as possible to the art of the bikefit."

Computer Captured Video Analysis
The first step in analysing setup is recording the measurements off the bike as you have been riding it.
Then video footage is captured from the back, front and sides as you ride on the stationary trainer.
How you sit on the bike, how your feet sit in your shoes and how your shoe is placed on the pedal(cleat placement) is measured.
The video footage is analysed and compared to your body, any injuries, your bike measurements, your cleat placement and your cycling event/goal.
Suggestions are then made to make you more comfortable, decrease injury risk and increase performance.

Once the optimal setup is acheived a copy of your final measurements will be emailed to you so that you have a copy for future reference.
