Precision Bike Fitting and Assembly

Book a session with our Cairns fitting crew and we build the whole bike around your body. Saddle height, cleat angle, stem reach, bar width: measured, not guessed, then assembled to torque spec before you ride away.

Motion capture setup Same-week booking Fit guarantee

Two hours, done properly

Every session starts with a full body assessment, then a live pedalling scan. You leave with a printed setup sheet so the numbers stay correct when you swap saddles or travel.

What You Get

A fit built around your body, not a template

Most riders run positions they copied from a mate or a clip online. We start from the ground up: hip angle, knee tracking, foot tilt and hand pressure, all measured while you actually pedal under load. It is the difference between a bike that fights you and one that disappears under you.

After the setup we strip, clean and rebuild the contact points. Bearings get checked, the headset gets preloaded correctly and every fastener goes back to manufacturer torque so nothing creeps loose on the first long ride.

Numbers That Matter

What the numbers look like

We log every fit and follow up a month later. These are the patterns that keep coming back from our Cairns workshop.

Measured, not eyeballed

Infrared markers track your hips, knees and ankles through the pedal stroke. You see the angles change in real time instead of trusting a plumb line and a guess.

Rebuilt to spec

Steerer cut squarely, cables re-routed, derailleur hanger aligned and every bolt set with a calibrated torque wrench. Your bike comes back quieter and more predictable.

Experience on the Floor

Six years fitting every kind of rider

We have fitted overnight racers, weekend commuters, triathletes chasing a personal best and older riders working around old injuries. The method stays the same, the numbers change.

  • 2019

    Opened a dedicated fitting bay with a smart trainer and a two-camera capture setup.

  • 2021

    Added pressure mapping so we could see exactly where saddle discomfort starts.

  • 2023

    Brought in a physiotherapist two days a week to handle fit-related injury cases.

  • 2025

    Launched remote follow-up reviews so returning riders can tweak their position without coming back in person.

Our Process

How a fitting session runs

Six checkpoints from intake to follow-up. Nothing gets skipped, even when the diary is full.

Allow two hours

Bring your bike, your shoes and your usual kit. Shorts you actually ride in make a real difference to the numbers we read.

1

Intake interview

We ask about injuries, ride goals and the niggles you have been ignoring at the back of your mind. This shapes everything that follows.

2

Body assessment

Leg length, hip rotation, foot arch and flexibility get measured and logged before you touch the bike.

3

Baseline scan

You pedal on the trainer while we record your current position. It is usually the moment a rider realises why their knee hurts.

4

Adjust and re-scan

Saddle, cleats, bars and stem get moved in small steps. Each change gets re-scanned so we can see the effect instead of assuming it.

5

Rebuild and torque

Contact points come apart, get cleaned and go back together with the correct grease and torque values.

6

Follow-up check

Thirty days later we call to see how the position is holding up, and tweak anything that does not feel right.

Inside the fitting bay

A look at the tools and process we use on every session.

Markers placed at hip, knee and ankle give us the joint angles we need to make decisions.

A sensor insole shows where the pressure sits so we can fine-tune cleat position and support.

Every bolt on the contact points gets set to the manufacturer's specified value before the bike leaves the stand.

You take home a printed summary of every measurement so your position travels with the bike.

FAQ

Questions riders ask us

If your question is not here, send it through the form below and we will answer it honestly.

Not sure which package?

Send us a photo of your current position and a note about any pain. We will point you at the right session.

Yes, unless you are buying a new bike from us. We fit on the bike you actually ride, because that is the only frame and geometry the numbers matter for.

Plan on two hours for the Full Dynamic Fitting and three for the Race-Ready Overhaul. Basic checks usually finish inside 45 minutes.

Almost always, for the first few rides. Your body has adjusted to the old position, so give it three or four outings before you judge the new setup.

We do, though the priorities shift. On a mountain bike we focus more on cockpit reach, brake lever angle and out-of-saddle control than on pure aero efficiency.

Come back within the follow-up window and we will reassess at no charge. If the problem looks clinical rather than positional, our physio can take a look.
