Cleat position/foot/arch-shape

The most vital interface for power and comfort in cycling is the leg’s kinetic chain closed by the pelvis/saddle contact at one end and by the shoe/pedal interface at the other. Your technician will devote a large part of the session aligning and balancing your foot/cleat position. An optional custom molded foot bed will be recommended for greater comfort, stability and power transfer.

Cycling/sporting history

Tony will want detailed information of how long, far and at what level you have cycled in the past, or if you are migrating from another sport altogether to fully understand your body and make the best adjustments to suit your needs.

Future cycling aspiration

We need to know your targets and goals – whether you plan to cycle to the store or the length of the country. It affects (in consultation with you) how far your technician will compromise comfort for performance – e.g. You will most likely use a different position for an IronMan triathlon than you would use for a Sprint or grocery run. Your position should be right for every event and occasion.
