Bike Fitting at FitByKam
At FitByKam, your bike fit is tailored to you personally. The process 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 performance. Your fit is informed by detailed biomechanical assessments - looking at your physical needs, flexibility, range of motion, balance, alignment and any discrepancies or imbalances, as well as your specific cycling goals.
Detail That Goes Beyond Positioning
The key to a great bike fit lies in everything working together - including guidance on pedalling technique, component configuration and gearing to ensure your entire setup is aligned to your specific cycling goals. These often overlooked aspects align with your positioning to play a crucial role in comfort and performance on the bike. It’s about being fit for function.
Video and motion analysis using Dartfish software and Leomo sensors provide valuable insight into pedalling efficiency, joint motion, stability, body movement and aerodynamics. You’ll see how adjustments influence your form in real time.
A Connected Fit
As an Ironman Certified Triathlon Coach, Cycling & Running Coach, and Endurance Biomechanics Specialist, a broader perspective is brought into every fit.
Understanding how cycling fits into your overall goals, whether it’s the primary focus for road, TT, gravel or mountain bike riding or racing, part of a triathlon season, or used as cross-training to support running or other sports.
Knowing the specific demands and nuances of different events, distances and formats, and optimising your bike fit accordingly.
Considering how your bike position affects what comes next, including running off the bike, hip function under fatigue and overall movement efficiency.
Your bike fit is part of your wider picture and ongoing pathway. The process ensures your bike fits like it’s truly yours.
Bike Fitting Process
A detailed and personalised process for all cyclists and multi-sport athletes.
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).
On-bike positional analysis aligned to your personal biomechanics and goals.
Dartfish and Leomo video and motion analysis to provide clear visual and statistical insight into your movement.
Assessment of component suitability (crank length, cockpit setup, gearing and contact points), with studio fitting-bikes and kit used to map your position and trial recommendations and their effects. This information feeds into the changes to your bike and follow-up process.
Positioning & Configuration
Precise adjustments to your bike, including saddle height, tilt and fore/aft position - as well as handlebar, aero-bar and stem refinements - to ensure optimal balance, posture, comfort and aerodynamics.
Cleat alignment and positioning on your shoes to optimise pedalling efficiency and power transfer, as well as fitting corrective spacers and shims to account for discrepancies.
Guidance on pedalling dynamics and technique, as well as gearing, is integrated to ensure the process is matched to your goals - including for triathletes and duathletes who rely on cycling efficiency to support their running.
Structure & Follow-up
The process typically takes around three hours in total, usually delivered over two sessions within a timeline to suit your needs, with the option of a check-in call in between. This allows time to revisit and refine your position, as well as implement and dial in any recommended component changes. If you prefer, and if it’s suitable to your needs and goals, we can carry out one extended appointment. The process can be rolled into a progression package as well to continue working on your evolving journey.
The process has a structure, while remaining flexible to suit your specific needs. We’ll work together in the best way so you gain clarity on your position and the confidence to move forward knowing you’re set up to achieve your goals.

Mobile Bike Fitting
£POA
Professional bike fitting at your location for Peloton, Wattbike, Kickr Bike, Tacx, Stages and Zwift Ride bikes, and all other indoor and smart-bikes.

Indoor Training 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.
Coverage & Booking
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. On our intro call, we’ll chat through the options and establish the best package for your specific needs.
Get in touch via the contact form and note your location to get us started.
Progressions & Reviews
(~1hr session)
£115
Make periodic adjustments to your setup as your goals and specific fitting needs progress or change over time.

“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.”
“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!”
What Bike Fitting Means at FitByKam…
-
Confidence & Clarity
An informed ownership and understanding of your bike fit is crucial to getting the most out of your cycling. At FitByKam, the process is designed to give you clarity and confidence in your position by helping you understand your biomechanics and how your bike is set up specifically for you.
Connection To Your Bike
You’re both the passenger and the engine on a bike! Your movement, the bike’s setup, and the contact points all interact dynamically to influence comfort and efficiency.
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 most out of your bike and riding.
Personalisation
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. As your cycling develops, your position can continue to evolve to support further improvements.
You Are The Engine
With so many products and upgrades promising performance gains, it’s often difficult to know where to start.
Without doubt, the first thing you should do is have a bike fit before you start investing in ‘upgrades’ or replacement parts. If replacement components or upgrades 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 changes 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.
