This fitting is intended for the person who just got a bike and needs some general professional help with your specific setup, or perhaps you've changed a few things or it's been a while since you've been looked at, confirmation of proper size, and/or has just a couple of minor comfort issues that you'd like to be addressed. This is a more involved fitting than we provide with a new bike purchased at Maplewood Bicycle. This fitting is not for a Triathlon or Time Trial bicycle. 

What to Expect: We will have you on your bike, in a trainer, and we will discuss riding habits, distances, any particular areas of your body or body mechanics that need extra attention, as well as some of your riding goals. We will adjust saddle height based on pedaling style/technique, and flexibility as well as the saddle fore/aft position. Once we have set the saddle position, we will then address your reach to the handlebars as well as the height needed for upper body alignment and comfort. In many cases these points of contacts are what most people need addressed in order to ride comfortably, minimize joint issues, and will help your body work more efficiently. 

Time: Up to 1 hour   /for 1 bike

Price: $150

*There may be some additional costs like a handlebar Stem, or Saddle, from our fitters recommendation to get your bike as comfortable as we can. 

For the Cyclist needing a tune-up to their fit, who have been experiencing some minor aches, discomforts that are not going away, just acquired a new or used bike, or has been riding more and in need of some changes. We start with a full assessment of your current fit. We then address foot and cleat alignment with more detail and precision. We feel strongly about getting the correct foot and pedal alignment, as this will only help with efficient power transfer, knee and joint health, as well as some of the foot issues.  

What to Expect: Fit principles and protocols stemming from advanced scientific proven methods are used in a more cost effective way to offer you this level of fitting. It is a comprehensive utilization of methods taught to us by Guru, Trek, F.I.S.T., Serotta, Bike Fit Systems, to name a few. The protocols that we apply are basically the same as our Level 2 or 3, with a few less tools and time that it takes to apply those methods. Mix this with our well documented experience and history (over 40 years of fitting at the highest level) and you get a fitting done to a much higher accuracy than most places. Pre and Post bike measurements taken and recorded, as well as your ride and health history. 

Equipment Used: Computrainer with spin analysis, Goniometer, Anthropometer, Aline foot analysis board, Varus/Valgus measuring tool, Laser, and saddle pressure mapping when needed.

Time: up to 2 hours,   /for 1 bike (additional time will be billed at $200 an hour)

*Please Note: We would like you here 5 min earlier than your scheduled fit session. We are usually right on time and very busy, therefore we wish to respect our next fitting by finishing on time. With many of the new axle types, fit form to fill out, change of clothes, we want to either start right on time or limit the extra time it takes to get you started.

Price: $250     

*additional charges may include stem, handlebar, saddle, shoe inserts, to name a few things common in getting your fit right.             

• This is the ideal specialized fitting that Maplewood Bicycle offers for people who have a good fit but recently purchased new shoes, switching pedal systems, or are currently experiencing some foot or knee issues usually related to feet/pedal alignment. 

We begin with a thorough evaluation of your shoe fit, and a check of you on the bike and your alignments. We will then go through the evaluating process of your foot support needs, ankle and foot flexibility, possible hip or leg length discrepancy, your cleat alignment in all 4 positions, and lastly the rotational alignment. 

The RADS tool allows us to fine tune the actual rotation alignment of your cleats to eliminate foot/knee/ hip issues related to improper cleat rotation and maximizing float for your particular individual leg needs. We can offer this fit for Speedplay pedal users, and Crankbrothers, but we will not be using the RADS tool. *We are limited in adjustability with the Crankbrothers cleats, Time, and Speedplay Frog and Syzr cleats

Time is up to an hour. (per pair shoes/1-bike. *see below)

Cost is $150

Additional costs that usually occur are; Insoles, wedges, and cleats. 

*If you have more than 1 pair of shoes that work with the same pedals, or two bikes-same pedals, we will charge an additional $50 per shoe or bike for set up time, plus any additional accessories used for alignment.

*If you have more than 1 pair of shoes that use different pedals (different bikes like a mountain shoe and a road shoe), the fee will be an additional $150 as the set up dynamics are different and additional time will be needed.

• Saddle Pressure Mapping: For any cyclist who is wishing to try new saddles due to it being worn out, or no longer comfortable and wishes to take advantage of a rare elite industry specific tool and software, and an experienced professional to help assess, recommend, and install perfectly. Forget about those saddle measuring benches, or those pseudo science recommendations on your proper type of saddle. Feel free to bring any saddles of your own to test.
  Time is up to an hour and cost is $150 per hour. (non-refundable)
  Saddles are at additional cost, usually ranging from $40-$300.  Plus, any saddle you purchase from Maplewood’s saddle (“in-stock”) inventory comes with a 21 day exchange/store credit policy as long as it is in like new condition. We do carry several saddle models that have their own 30 day satisfaction guarantee.

Bike Finder: 

The Guru DFU Experience has a database of over 10,000 bike brands, models, and sizes, pre-programmed into the software. We can scan you, plug in a bike model and size, or figure that out after the full fit. With your valuable feedback from immediate changes to things like saddle height and handlebar position, and assistance from the fitters training and experience, we can find the best fitting brand/model/size in a very efficient manner. Once finished, we will provide you with a report from your fitting, listing several bikes, set up instructions, etc. Unlike other stores with this service, we will provide you with any brand that will fit you properly, even brands we don't sell. This report will also show you the specific fit measurements, specific stem and spacers, seatpost offset, and how to measure those things once you get your new bike. We do offer post bike set up or fine tuning of your bike fit, at an additional charge, to what you desire.
