Why Set-it-up?? SET-IT-UP incorporates the front view, and the system is based on angles and alignment rather than just using a formula, the basis for all software/vision bike fitting systems. Additionally, our products are used by Olympic Champions, World Champions, and Grand Tour winners, as well as average athletes. It's important to first understand the difference between bike sizing and a bike fit. If you're purchasing a new bike, remember that bike sizing is done to determine the correct bike frame size. Bike fitting, on the other hand, alters the bike to fit the cyclist's unique body architecture to maximize efficiency. Bike sizing and bike fitting can and sometimes should go hand in hand. We have fit some cyclists to their recently purchased bikes only to learn the frame size is too tall or short which limits the range of adjustments that can be done during a fit. A bike fitting uses a multi-dimensional approach that looks at every aspect of the cyclist and their connection to their bike. During a bike fit the athlete is asked a series of questions to determine their cycling goals, identify prior injuries, highlight discomfort felt when riding, and other pertinent questions. We then watch the athlete pedal, measure the athlete both off the bike and on the bike, and continue asking questions about how they feel while he or she is riding.
