Bike Fitting at FitByKam
At FitByKam, bike fitting is centred on empowering you with clarity and confidence in your cycling position.
A proper connection between you and your bike improves your comfort, efficiency and overall performance. Your fit is informed by detailed biomechanical assessments - looking at your physical needs, flexibility, range of motion, balance, alignment and any imbalances, as well as your specific cycling goals - so your setup is tailored to you personally.
Detail That Goes Beyond Positioning
The magic lies in everything working together. Guidance on pedalling technique, component configuration and gearing ensures your entire setup is aligned to your specific cycling goals - so you’re fit for function. These often overlooked aspects align with your positioning to play a key role in comfort and performance on the bike.
Video and motion analysis using Dartfish software and Leomo sensors provide valuable insight into pedalling efficiency, joint motion, stability and body movement. You’ll see how adjustments influence your form in real time.
But no single metric or angle tells the whole story.
Sessions are grounded in experience and observation. Tech informs the fit - but it doesn’t replace judgement. The result is a joined-up approach that considers your biomechanics, your event and cycling goal demands, and your long-term comfort and performance on the bike.
Experience Connects the Dots
As an Ironman Certified Triathlon Coach, Cycling & Running Coach, and Biomechanics Specialist, a broader perspective is brought into every fit.
That means:
Understanding how cycling fits into your overall training, whether it’s the primary focus, part of a triathlon season, or used strategically as cross-training to support running or other sports.
Appreciating the demands and nuances of different distances and race formats, from short, high-intensity efforts to long-course endurance events.
Knowing how bike position affects what comes next, including running off the bike, hip function under fatigue and overall movement efficiency.
Considering long-term progression and your ongoing pathway.
A short-course triathlon setup differs from an Ironman position. A road race fit isn’t the same as a sportive, commuter, climbing, time trial or ultra-endurance position. Component and positional adjustments need to reflect those specific demands.
Your bike fit isn’t done in isolation or painting to generic numbers. It’s part of your wider picture.
Bespoke, collaborative and informative whether you’re new to the game or refining performance. The aim is the same - to make the bike feel like it’s truly yours.
Bike Fitting Process
An informative and holistic process for all cyclists and multi-sport athletes to work together on your ideal cycling position.
Before the Session
Pre-fit intro call and information gathering so we begin with a clear understanding of your goals, history and fitting needs.
Assessment & Analysis
Off-bike biomechanical assessment (range of motion, flexibility, balance, alignment and potential imbalances, including leg length discrepancies).
Dartfish and Leomo video and motion analysis to provide clear visual and statistical insight into your movement.
On-bike positional analysis aligned to your personal biomechanics and goals.
Positioning & Configuration
Precise adjustments to saddle height, tilt and fore/aft position for optimal balance and posture.
Handlebar, aero-bar and stem refinements for reach, comfort and aerodynamics.
Cleat alignment and positioning to optimise pedalling efficiency and power transfer, as well as fitting corrective spacers and shims to account for discrepancies.
Assessment of component suitability (crank length, cockpit setup, gearing and contact points), with studio fitting-bikes and kit used to demonstrate and simulate recommendations and their effects.
Guidance on pedalling dynamics and technique, as well as gearing, is integrated to ensure the process is both practical and informative.
Your session is informed by experience coaching cyclists and multi-sport athletes across different disciplines and distances. Subtle nuances in position and component selection are matched to your goals - including for triathletes and duathletes who rely on cycling efficiency to support their running.
Structure & Follow-Up
The process is approximately three hours in total, typically delivered over two sessions within a timeline to suit your needs. This allows time to revisit, refine and extend your position, as well as implement and assess any recommended component changes. If you prefer, and if it’s suitable to your needs and goals, we can carry out one extended session.
You’ll leave with clarity on your position and the confidence to move forward knowing your setup truly supports your goals.
If further progression or refinement would benefit your development, tailored progression packages are available and we’ll explore whether this approach is right for you during your initial sessions.

Cycling/Multi-sport Progression Package
An inclusive package of a bike fitting process plus additional sessions to support your cycling and multi-sport progression.
-
The package includes:
- Initial 3-hour bike fitting process detailed above.
- Three additional bespoke 1-1 progression sessions at the studio, which are designed around your specific needs and development points.
- Ideal for cyclists and multi-sport athletes who want a joined-up approach to their progression.
How the progression sessions can be used.
The included 1-1 sessions are flexible and can be used for:
Running analysis.
Video analysis and consultation of swimming form (with studio tech session).
On-the-bike progression and refinement.
Technique and performance-focused sessions.
Strength & conditioning support relevant to your needs and goals.
Sessions are shaped around you, your training phase, and how things evolve between visits.
If you’re a beginner and just getting going, then your progress in the initial stages will likely move quickly on from your starting point. Your progression will be supported with these additional sessions focussing on improving technique and any further adjustments to your positioning as your confidence and ability grows to access further optimisation.
If you’re returning from injury, the 1-1 sessions can also include focus on strength & conditioning, with workouts that you can replicate as part of your training. As well as this, during the on-the-bike 1-1s, adjustments can be progressed as you’re comfortable doing more.
If you’re setting a path which is aiming for improved performance, then the sessions will focus on ensuring you maximise your efficiency and potential with coached sessions specific to you.
For those with triathlon or duathlon goals, the option to use any of the progression sessions for a running analysis, and/or a consultation for video review of your swimming form with a studio tech session, makes this a great package for supporting your multi-sport progression. Sessions can also incorporate brick runs too, and they’re designed around your needs and progress between sessions.
The package reflects the continuity, efficiency, and depth that come from working together over multiple sessions, and represents better value than booking the same sessions individually over time.
Included sessions are to be used within 12 months.
New Bike Consultation, Selection & Fitting
-
With a wide range of bikes available for differing and specific purposes, selecting the right one can be a challenging prospect.
Additionally, variations in the geometries, configuration of wheels, components and gear ratios add to the confusion about what is best for your goals.
A consultation process before committing to a purchase will ensure that you make an informed decision on a bike that will be fit for purpose and work for you to achieve your goals.
Initial consultation and trialling session lasting ~2 hours to carry out physical and biomechanical assessments, and discuss and trial options of bike geometries and configurations based on your requirements.
We’ll use the kit at the studio, which can replicate different bikes, geometries and sizes.
When your new bike arrives, we’ll arrange the additional ~3 hours to set up and refine your position, as well as coach any specific points to support you in getting the best out of the bike. These hours can be split to suit your needs. There is no substitute for having your bike fit and form dialled in on your actual bike. The bike fitting ensures you’re supported right through the process.
Get in touch to discuss the package further and we’ll set up the best arrangement for your needs.
Mobile Bike Fitting
Mobile bike fitting at your location for Peloton, Wattbike, Kickr Bike, Tacx, Stages and Zwift Ride bikes, and all other indoor and smart bikes.
-
The popularity of indoor training bikes and smart bikes - like Peloton, Wattbike, Kickr Bike, Tacx, Stages and Zwift Ride bikes - is growing. A bike fitting process is just as important on these bikes as it is for outdoor bikes. Of course, transporting these bikes to a fitting appointment isn’t really possible, and even being fitted on one that’s not yours at a store or studio isn’t ideal as even the smallest variables will affect how measurements transfer. It’s far better to be set up on your own bike at your location.
The coverage for mobile appointments is approximately up to 30-45 mins of travel from the studio location (EN2 8JF).
Mobile booking prices are dependent on the bike fitting or progression package and travel time to your location. On our intro call, we’ll look at your location, chat through the options and establish the best package for your specific needs.

"His attention to detail is second to none." "Believe the hype! Kam knows his stuff!" "I’ve had a few bike fits and Kam’s was by far the most comprehensive." "It’s like he’s been drinking magic!" "Kam is hugely knowledgeable, enthusiastic and spot on with his assessments."
“Kam is extremely knowledgeable, understanding and just an overall great person to work with on your bike fit. He took into account all of my concerns, issues, riding goals and adapted my fit, while explaining the changes in detail each time to make sure I understood them. All in all, Kam is one of the best in the business, and I'd recommend him highly.”
“Such a great guy! Very friendly and offered loads of advice. Provided a very detailed analysis with video feedback. Made several adjustments which have already made a big difference. There was no rush, with plenty of detailed explanation of what he was doing. After spending money on upgrades which made no difference, the money spent on a proper bike fit is money well spent. Thoroughly recommended.”
“Best investment I have made in cycling just behind the bike itself. Kam is an absolute gentleman, made me feel very welcome, is very knowledgeable and my favourite thing is the enthusiasm he has for cycling, running and triathlon will rub off on you in the time you are with him.”
“I cannot recommend Kam enough. He's not only a lovely guy but also transformed my ride in a way I would not have thought possible. On the first ride after Kam worked his magic everything felt easier, more comfortable and was a tremendous amount more powerful. There is no doubt - go see Kam!”
“To call Kam’s process simply a bike fit would be to diminish it. Really it’s an in depth review of your goals, an explanation of the biomechanics involved, and an analysis of your strengths and weaknesses to inform the adjustments. Very thorough, and also educational too!”
“Believe the hype! Kam knows his stuff! The whole experience was excellent. Not only does my bike feel brand new to ride on, I've also instantly gained sustainable power. Highly recommended.”
What bike fitting means at FitByKam…
-
An informed ownership and understanding of your bike fit is crucial to getting the most out of your cycling. Empowering you with the knowledge of your personal biomechanics, and how your bike is set up to suit you specifically, is an integral part of the bike fitting process at FitByKam.
You’re both the passenger and the engine on a bike! The story and overall picture of how your movements dynamically affect your comfort and efficiency go hand in hand with where the contact points are set. The bike and the rider influence each other. The rider moves on the bike and the bike moves beneath the rider. The rider is also part of the gearing system! The chemistry between all these points must be considered to create a fit that enables you to get the value from the investment you’ve put into your bike and cycling.
The right bike fit is all personal to you and your goals. It’s not something that can be solved to any degree of accuracy or confidence following calculators, algorithms and tutorials. Basing your bike fit off information like that alone will leave you unsure in your cycling position. You just won’t know if you could be getting more out of your riding even if you’re not experiencing any discomfort.
To be confident about your bike fit requires a process that involves assessment of you, your bike and your goals to align everything together. This process continues to develop as you’re able to access more optimal cycling and training with the improvements made to your position and bike’s configuration.
With a wide range of products and technology out there that all offer performance gains in some way, it can be confusing to know where to start and what will make the biggest difference. Without doubt, the first thing you should do is have a bike fit before you start investing in ‘upgrades’ or replacement parts. You’ll be amazed at the difference the process of assessing and correctly setting up your bike and position to your personal needs will have - and if replacement components are genuinely required then you’ll know exactly what you need and why they’ll make a difference.
Having the engine - you! - set up correctly and delivering power efficiently with a good economy of movement, will ensure that any additional upgrades you make to your bike and gear are maximised - and it’s often the case that the bike fit will make the biggest improvement of all. If you’re a triathlete, then a bike fit will also make improvements to your run off the bike too, as you’ll be delivering your target power with far better efficiency and be fresher for the run leg of the event!
After our bike fitting session, you’ll have greater confidence and understanding of your fit, and feel like the bike is truly ‘yours’!
