from years of working with Dr. Andy Pruitt Ed.D., PA of the Boulder
Center for Sports Medicine and found only at Specialized dealers, like Rock N' Road Cyclery, BG FIT (Body Geometry Fit Integration Technology)
is a comprehensive fitting system created to help cyclists like you ride
faster, longer and in complete comfort, while reducing your chances of

N' Road Cyclery uses the system's latest technology to ensure a precise
fit based on your exact measurements. We incorporate your athletic and
cycling background, height, flexibility and inseam to determine specific
vertical and horizontal coordinates. And, a great thing about the BG
FIT is that we can provide a thorough, cutting-edge, expert fit in a
short amount of time. Plus, if you're purchasing a new Specialized
bicycle, you're getting the best in bike technology too.
Pre-fit interview -
Every fit, whether it's for a novice or experienced cyclist starts with
a brief interview with our trained technician that addresses your
needs, goals and injury history.
Flexibility assessment -
This evaluation provides an accurate picture of your flexibility and
other physical attributes, including assessment of foot structure, knee
position, spinal curve, shoulder extension, hip flexion and leg length,
among others.
Side view -
This is a riding-position assessment using your side view on the bike.
The goal is to find the correct neutral position that's both efficient
and comfortable by adjusting the seat, handlebars, stem and cleats.
Front view -
Analysis from a front view to optimize hip, knee and foot alignment for
optimum efficiency and balanced power delivery. This includes analysis
of the pedal and shoe placement and how squarely you sit on the seat.
Follow-up -
After a week or so, the technician calls to discuss the effectiveness
of the adjustments and to answer any other questions or concerns you may
have
