Our Fit Mission

              

           Maplewood Bicycle takes great strides and investments in the Bike Fitting technology and methodology. We believe entirely in getting your bicycle fitted to suit your specific body’s needs. If you just ride casually on the weekends or race at the highest level, it is EQUALLY important. Bike fitting is setting up all aspects of the bicycle to optimize your efficiencies, balance, power, malalignments corrected, and comfort improved. We have for over 50 years been at the forefront of bike fit and custom bikes in the St.Louis area. We were one of the first to utilize the old Fit Kit, first in the area to bring in the acclaimed Serotta Size Cycle, first in the country to bring in the Bio Racer fit system from Europe, first store to bring in the Retul 3d motion capture system, we have been using Dartfish 2d motion capture analysis software since 2005, first in the region to have been using the Retul Muve dynamic fit cycle, and we have invested in the state of the art Guru Dynamic Fit Unit Experience. Lastly, but most importantly, we have had a full time fitter for more than 25 years, with more than 15,000 fittings, since 2000. He is a Fit Instructor and consultant for a couple of the fitting system leaders, as well as fitter for a couple of pro road teams, pro Mountain bikers, pro track racers, pro Triathletes. We believe in the experience of the fitter is the most important part of the process.

Along with these investments to bring the St. Louis and the Midwest region’s cyclists the most accurate and comprehensive fitting tools and equipment, we too have invested in training, certifications, an experienced staff, and two of the most experienced and knowledgeable fitters in the country. We invite you to feel and see the difference for yourself. We continue in improving our ability to correct and fix most issues and we are not slowing down anytime soon. Tim was awarded with the prestigious Top 15 Best Fitters in the country by Triathlete Magazine, Feb. 2023.
