Pre-Purchase/Post Purchase Bike Fit
The most important parameter when considering purchasing a new bike is the bike fit. Bike Fit refers to the bike geometry and bike configuration that best matches your specific body dimensions. If the bike fit doesn’t match your body then the bike will be uncomfortable, not powerful and not aerodynamic.
The bike industry is moving toward online sales. Online retailers’ online sizing tools are rough estimates at best. Let us help you find the right size bike whether buying from a brick-and-mortar store or an online retailer. With your bike fit coordinates and your Sport Speed Lab Bike Fit Report you can shop confidently.

Saddle Pressure Mapping Fit
Our saddle fit service uses cutting-edge bike saddle pressure mapping technology. We understand that every cyclist is unique, and their comfort matters. Our fitter will help you determine the correct saddle for your bike and anatomy. Saddle width and positioning will be determined. Our state-of-the-art pressure mapping technology provides a detailed analysis of your sitting position on the saddle, highlighting areas of high pressure and potential discomfort. We’ll pressure map and test several different saddles then select the best saddle.
Common problems addressed include genital numbness, hotspots, and general saddle discomfort. Our saddles are guaranteed for 30 days. If the saddle doesn’t work for you, we will exchange it for another saddle.
A pressure mapping saddle fit takes about 1 hour.
$99 + cost of the saddle

Marginal Gain Race Day Service
Marginal gains refer to small improvements that can add up to significant performance gains. We recently wrote a blog about Marginal Gains By focusing on optimizing every aspect of their bike and equipment, cyclists can achieve significant improvements in their overall performance. For example, small changes in bike fit or tire pressure can lead to improved aerodynamics and reduced rolling resistance. With the right approach and attention to detail, cyclists can harness the power of marginal gains to unlock their full potential and achieve their goals on the bike.
Some of the options we can provide to cyclists looking for Race Day Marginal Gains:
- Install new Shimano Dura Ace chain hot waxed with Silca Super Secrete wax
- Install latex tubes
- Install new Conti GP5000 tires
- Ultrasonic chain cleaning
- Hot waxing existing chain
- Clean drive train
- Bike Fit check (for Pro Bike Fit clients)
