Bike Fitting Services

At Bruce's Cycle Works we have been using professional bike fit tools longer than anyone else in Saskatoon. We also firmly believe that a properly fit bicycle will improve your enjoyment of the sport of cycling whether you have a road, tri, or mountain bike

The experience and training of our staff make them eminently qualified to provide professional bike fit services. Neil has a master's degree in mechanical engineering, is a certified level III cycling coach and active triathlon coach. Cory has a degree in Kinesiology which provides him with a unique set of skills and understanding of the biomechanics involved in bike fit.

Measuring the Rider

The Juteau-Cantin bike fit kit system starts with measuring the inseam of the rider. The inseam measurement provides the required saddle height and gives a good starting position to fit the person to the bike. Juteau-Cantin has also completed detailed frame geometry measurements for all the major and many of the minor road bike brands available in Canada. Based on the geometry tables for each manufacturer, the proper size for any road bike can be determined.

Fitting the Bike to the Rider

Fitting a bicycle properly to a rider starts with measuring the rider and finding the correct frame size. The next and more important step is to now correctly fit the bike to the rider. The Juteau-Cantin bike fit kit system includes tools for easily measuring the bike, and rider's position on the bike. The platform that the bike sits on simplifies the process and makes the entire process more accurate.

It is very important to remember that with a system such as the Juteau-Cantin (and something they emphasize themselves) is that bike fit is not as scientific as some would suggest. The recommendations based on the measurements and data of a bike fit system are a starting point. Based on a rider's flexibility and preferred position, the length and height of stem may be changed, or even the size of the bike.

The Juteau-Cantin system provides us with the tools necessary to provide you, the customer, with the right sized bike custom fit to you.
