Tools of the trade:
Bike Fit Simulator The Kobila from Exit Cycling is the heart and souls of our dynamic bike fitting tools. It gives us the ability to make quick and accurate changes to both the saddle and handle bar height and for/aft positions. Giving our clients the ability to try many bike fit iterations.
Computrainer The multi-color torque graph represents one full 360° revolution divided into 15° segments. The left/right leg percentage power splits give you the feedback needed to pedal in circles. It will identify flat or dead spots in the pedal stroke where optimal power is not transferred to the drive train. A dynamic bike fit utilizing SpinScan is an excellent way to take the subjectivity and guesswork out of the bike fit process. And the ATA (Average Torque Angle) displayed on the Polar Graph helps you adjust your position for optimum power. DartFish Dartfish is the most advanced video technology available on the market. With dartfish we are able to record digital video of our client while they ride the bike under normal riding intensities. We can then take these video clips, play them back in real time or in slow motion to analiys body position on the bike. With the ability of slowing down the video it enables us to see the pedal stroke at a much more accurate level. Stopping these videos in key positions we can accurately measure critical body angles and analyis pedaling technique. Dartfish is truly the best way to accurately analyzing your bike position. By utilizing the Bike fit simulator, Computrainer & SpinScan Analysis and DartFish Video Analysis we have made the bike fitting process at Fort Street Cycle truly dynamic.
