Reparto Corse - Bike Re-fitting
-- $200.00
-- A proper bike fit will make you comfortable and efficient. Whatever your goals and needs are there is no substitute for a properly fitted bike. A less than optimal bike fit can cause injury and certainly make you less inclined to ride.
A Reparto Corse fitting session for an existing bike will take about 90 minutes.
The steps in the fitting are as follows:
The fitting begins with a discussion of your cycling goals, needs, riding style and experience. The discussion includes exploring what is working and what is not working about your current positioning. If you have had any injuries and if there are particular problems to address they are recorded so we can begin to make the necessary adjustments.
The next step is an assessment of your flexibility and range of motion.
After taking measurements for your current position with regard to frame size, saddle height, crank arm length, top tube length, stem length, handle bar width, seat tube angle, saddle positioning and setback I take basic body measurements for inseam, foot arch height, and shoulders. We now have a starting point to begin adjusting your bike fit to achieve the comfortable alignment of your legs, spine, shoulders, arms, hands and feet. The adjustments start at the pedal-foot connection and work their way up and forward. Tools involved include the Size-O-Matic adjustable stem which permits a great range of height, length and angle options. The process of optimizing your position is dynamic so it takes time and cannot be rushed. Each change needs to be evaluated and recorded.
The use of the Computrainer and its Spin-scan software during this dynamic portion of the fitting allow both you the rider, and me, the fitter to see what your pedal stroke looks like prior to changes and how our position adjustments smooth and improve your pedal stroke helping you to create power through improved efficiency.
Laser level analysis is used during the Computrainer Spin Scan portion of the fitting to examine your pedal stroke externally. From the arch height measurement and body observation taken in conjunction with the pedal stroke analysis the use of pedal/cleat wedges to correct imbalances and/or a recommendation for footbed orthotics may be made.
As part of your fitting a video recording of your positional changes on the bike is made for you and kept on file at Reparto Corse.
With the adjustments to your bike completed it is time to review the areas addressed and changes made to make sure that the fit is comfortable and your goals have been met. We can now change the necessary items such as stem, handlebar, saddle and seat post to duplicate the optimized position we have created.
The fitting does not end here however. After moving from the static fitting evaluation, and going through the dynamic fitting position adjustments it is important to evaluate the changes over time on the road where your interaction with the road itself and the conditions you ride in take part in shaping what you feel. In order to get your feedback we will need to ride together giving you an opportunity to utilize my skills as a cycling coach and riding instructor.
I am a registered Racermate Computrainer Coach specializing in rider position, a Level III USA Cycling Coach, and a member of the Serotta International Cycling Institute. I am also the President of the Unione Sportiva Cycling Club for which I oversee the Rider Development Program and teach riding and race technique.
Through nearly 15 years of professional fitting for thousands of cyclists from successful racers to beginning club riders I have always insisted on fitting the bike to the rider instead of forcing the rider to fit the bike.

Along with the fitting services I offer I use the Computrainer to test and help determine training programs for cyclists. Using the tests from the Computrainer Workout Manual put together by coach, Joe Friel I can help yopu determine your current state of cycling fitness and help you create your cycling fitness goals. The Fitness Test is a simple test developed by Joe Beer a triathlon coach from Bath England. Done on a regular basis the Fitness Test will help you eliminate the guess work involved in determining your fitness and fatigue levels. The Fitness testing requires up to 45 minutes with setup, warm up, testing, and cool down. Fitness testing can be combined with bike fitting, Power Testing and, or the Conconi Test for Aerobic Threshold.

Reparto Corse Lactate Threshold Testing
-- $75.00
-- The Computrainer is a powerful and accurate tool for determining fitness and measuring progress in the cyclist. The USA Cycling federation uses the Computrainer for testing national level athletes at their training center.
Along with the fitting services I offer I use the Computrainer to test and help determine training programs for cyclists. Using the tests from the Computrainer Workout Manual put together by coach, Joe Friel I can help you determine your current state of cycling fitness and help you create your cycling fitness goals. The purpose of the Conconi Test is to find your lactate threshold (LT) heart rate. With these results you can set your hear rate targets for training. The Conconi test should be done at the beginning of the season and again whenever re-evaluation is appropriate like when starting a peaking phase in training. The Conconi Test requires up to 60 minutes with setup, warm up, testing, and cool down. The Conconi Test for Lactate Threshold can be combined with bike fitting, Fitness testing and, or the Power Test.

The Power Test is a simple test developed by Joe Friel. This test will serve as a baseline for measuring your power on the bike. Power is directly related to climbing ability and sprinting, although other variables such as weight, economy of movement, and technique also play a role. Done on a regular basis as your season progresses through the different training phases the Power Test will help you eliminate the guess work involved in determining your strength level. The Power Test requires up to 45 minutes with setup, warm up, testing, and cool down.
