About Human Performance Unit Retul Bike Fit

The Retul 3D motion capture bike fitting system is an effective way of fitting your bike to increase performance, comfort and enjoyment.

Human Performance Unit Retul Bike Fit Description

A bike that is fitted correctly will increase your performance, comfort and enjoyment.

' Make sure your bike fits you’ Sir Chris Hoy

The Retul 3D motion capture bike fitting system uses infra-red LEDS placed on the rider at specific biomechanical reference points. A 3D scanner measures the location of each LED 29 times per second whilst the rider is in motion and under load. The accuracy of each measurement is to within a millimetre.

Typically the measurements are taken over a 15 second period from the side and the front simultaneously. The resulting data informs the fitter of the most realistic body position and pedal stroke the rider adopts whilst riding for real on the road or trail.

Such detailed data enables the fitter to adjust and tailor your bike to fit your body's optimal biomechanical range. This reduces stress on joints and enables muscles to work with maximum efficiency.

Unlike static fits this dynamic assessment gives feedback as to how the body reacts and interacts in biomechanical motion. This results in, quite simply, a better bike fit.

The Sky cycling team, and many pro mountain bike riders and triathletes choose Retul as their bike fit system. World Ironman Champion Craig Alexander improved his bike split by 13 minutes after a Retul fitting of his latest bike.

Matt found the high spec. Canyon Speedmax CF 8.0 with £450 off in the END OF SEASON SALE. He was left confused using the online sizing tool recommending either a SMALL or MEDIUM frame size. Using the Retul Muve SL we could replicate both small and medium frame sizes and test them with the Retul 3d Motion Capture. From the motion capture data we could identify the Small frame was able to get Matt into the desired triathlon cycling position. Matt could buy with confidence and saved time and £££. All for £49.99, please email 3dbikefitter@gmail.com to book a session. Final measurements of the Canyon Speedmax CF 8.0 were taken from the Muve SL and emailed to Matt so he could set the bike up at home.

Gary increased his training to climb Alpe d' huez and he started to experience pain in his right knee. Using the 3d motion capture it was possible to identify oscillations and excessive lateral knee travel. His Trek Madone's geometry could then be replicated on the Retul Muve SL and adjustments made including a reduction in crank length, shoe and pedal interventions. Changes in body position generated by the adjustments could then be measured with the 3d motion capture until the oscillations and lateral knee travel were reduced to an acceptable level. The data from the Muve SL was then applied to his Trek. Gary's knee pain has disappeared and he was the first person from his club to the top of Alpe d' huez.

So this position and the results interest me.....

At 6ft 5in Chris Hartley is not an average sized cyclist. Using the Muve SL and 3d motion capture we could try and find bikes in the market place and try different components such as saddles, until we found Chris' perfect ride. Because we don't sell bikes we found a frame reduced in Canyon's factory outlet section and Chris could build his new bike on the new frame with a combination of new components and components from his old bike. After the final 3d motion captures to check the bike fitted perfectly Chris took it out for a spin on the Redbridge circuit. The feedback from the ride was 'It feels brilliant'. Best bike, best fit and best price. Please email 3dbikefitter@gmail.com to book a new bike fit consultation. Thank you.

You can try this bike out before you buy, on the Retul Muve Sl. Might as well spend £170 getting it fitted correctly?

****STOP*** DON'T BUY THE WRONG BIKE.
We tried out the bike he had already lined up to buy on the MUVE SL, but as you can see it is too small.
We were able to replicate different bikes on the MUVE SL until we found his best fit bike, a Canyon Ultimate CF in XXXL.
... Fortunately there was a frameset in clearance and a saving of £800 on new retail.
A worthwhile trip to Redbridge Cycling Centre, finding the best bike, best fit and best price.

John Bradbury's UCI Compliant 20Km TT position for the European Champs in September. Getting into a good position with the tip of the saddle 5cm behind BB and the bars no further than 80cm in front of BB is a challenge. The ISM saddle helped keep KFF and hip open whilst keeping the back angle as low as possible for the short course. Hip to elbow a little too compact for my liking but what can you do with BB to bar ends at 78.5cm?

The great thing about bike fitting is that you get to meet some amazing people, like Kieran Murray. Not put off by metal plates in his neck Kieran is cycling from London to Paris to raise money for the St Elizabeth Hospice. Not a conventional road position but it will get him there.
