If the shoe fits wear it, and if the bike fits

     ride it... a lot. Fitting bikes to people is actually an skill you learn from riding them and fitting a lot of people. Good fit lets you ride until your legs are tired. Your back, butt, neck and hands should not limit your rides. If your bike fit is good, your bike rides will be good as well. A well-fit bike is a joy to own and often tricks you into riding more.

What makes good fit? The length of your bike and your torso are tied together closer than the size of your frame and the length of your legs. The Fit Kit system uses arm length and torso length to calculate the best possible top tube and stem combinations that would place your upper body upon the bike in an ergonomic and stable position. This position saves your strength for pedaling not fighting the improper position and makes riding more enjoyable.

Fit is so important to all riders of all levels. Everyone riding today could use a fit Tune up, and if you ride in pain then you need help. With new riders, or new road riders, a well-fit bike keeps you from learning bad habits. For experienced riders a fitting will allow you to catalog your position. Having your numbers makes setting up a new bike easy, even changing a saddle or bar easy. You could rent a bike in Italy and have it fit perfect if you knew the numbers.
