Gears Bike Shop wants to ensure that the bike you pick is the right size and appropriate geometry for you to get maximum enjoyment from your purchase. We will fine-tune your bicycle’s stock equipment to find a comfortable rider position. This service adjusts: – Handlebar rotation – Stem height and angle – Saddle height – Saddle fore/aft position.

Think of it as purchasing a suit off the rack and having alterations made to the sleeves, shoulders, and “tweaking” of the measurements to make it look great! If you have a pre-existing injury, recovering from injury or have a physical limitation we highly recommend setting up an appointment with one of our Fitters.
