Bike Fit

With all the new bike-fit hardware and software on the market, there's still no substitute for a trained eye when evaluating the factors involved in bike fit. Our fitter, Justin Crocker, has over thirty years of experience:

	Ten years and counting as bike fitter The Bike Center.
	Six years as bike fitter at Ski Rack, in Burlington, Vermont.
	Three years as a USA Cycling licensed expert coach.
	28 years with a category II (expert) racing license.
	First-hand experience with aging (born 1950) and injuries (three broken hips), and how these affect fit.
	Completed Serotta's personal fit course and Trek's level one fit course.

There is no such thing as sacrificing comfort for speed, because you cannot sustain a long, hard effort if you are not comfortable.

A basic fit is part of every road bike purchase.

An advanced fit is part of every Lynskey and Project One purchase.

The Taller Head Tube

The head tube is an often-overlooked part of the frame in bike fit, but it is one of the keys to providing a comfortable and efficient ride.

For riders who have low or medium flexibility, a higher position reduces strain on the gluteal muscles and the hamstrings, and consequently on the lower back. It also allows for easier breathing. Trek, Cannondale, and Lynskey all offer excellent alternatives for riders who lack the flexibility of a pro athlete.
