Professional Bike Fitting Near Croydon

Looking for professional bike fitting in Croydon?Elite Cycling's Performance Centre is based nearby at Crystal Palace National Sports Centre, making us easily accessible for cyclists travelling from Croydon and the surrounding area.
Led by experienced cycling coach and bike fitter Paul Mill, our bike fitting service takes a personalised approach to your position on the bike, looking beyond measurements alone to understand you as a rider.
Bike Fitting for Croydon cyclists
Croydon has a thriving cycling community, from club riders and racers through to sportive, triathlon and recreational cyclists.
Whatever level you ride at, the relationship between you and your bike matters.
An uncomfortable or inefficient position can contribute to problems including discomfort, numbness, saddle issues and recurring aches, as well as preventing you from feeling as confident and efficient on the bike as you could.
A professional bike fit gives us the opportunity to assess your position properly and make adjustments based around your body, riding style and objectives.


What Happens During Your Bike Fit?
Paul's approach considers factors including:
-
Your cycling history and goals
-
Your current riding position
-
Flexibility and movement
-
Saddle position
-
Cleat setup
-
Reach and cockpit position
-
Previous injuries or recurring discomfort
-
The type of cycling and events you participate in
The objective is not simply to make your bike conform to a set of standard measurements. It's to create a position that works for you.
Road, TT and Triathlon Bike Fitting
Elite Cycling works with riders across a variety of disciplines.
Road riders may be looking for a balance between comfort, efficiency and performance, while time trial and triathlon riders can have very different positional requirements.
Paul's extensive coaching and cycling experience means the fit can be considered within the wider context of your riding rather than simply as a mechanical adjustment.
Getting to Elite Cycling from Croydon
Elite Cycling is not based in Croydon. All bike fits take place at our Performance Centre at Crystal Palace National Sports Centre.
Crystal Palace is within easy reach of Croydon by road or bike, making it a convenient option for riders looking for specialist bike fitting without travelling into central London.

Cleat and Footbed Fitting Service
If you are setting up your shoes for the first time or if you are just not sure if the cleats are in the correct position then this service is perfect for you. I will assess your shoes, your foot flexibility and check your medial arch profile to enable me to position your foot in such a way as to stabilise the foot and increase power without discomfort. Generally cycling shoes offer very little medial arch support so I will measure this to see if a footbed is required.
