Regardless of what type of riding you do, or what kind of bike you have, one aspect of cycling is axiomatic:
The rider ultimately propels the bike.
If the rider and the bicycle are not compatible, the rider will not function correctly. This can create problems ranging from suboptimal performance to extreme discomfort and injury. Understanding how the "man and machine" interact, and optimizing this connection, is what a bike fit entails. A bike fit can help ensure the rider and the bike are working synergistically.
Bike Fitting: $300
A quick overview of our fit process:
-Physical Assessment of the rider
-Assessment of the structural integrity and/or appropriateness of equipment
-Adjustments are made to the equipment and the rider to improve comfort and efficiency
-Post-fit test ride (weather permitting)
-Follow-up appointments are included in the price of the fitting
One (1) pair of insoles is built into the price of the fit. Each extra pair is $50.
Our fit studio is equipped with an array of tools, multiple stationary trainers to accommodate different types and sizes of bikes, as well as a wide selection of handlebars, stems, and saddles. As proprietary equipment becomes more prevalent, it is more challenging to make adjustments and component changes to modern bicycles. This is why we employ fitting tools such as an adjustable stem and adjustable-length cranks to determine the appropriate size prior to purchase.
Seasons change. Bikes change. Riders change. As such, your gear needs to change.
Gear Up Velo carries a wide variety of parts, accessories, and apparel to help. From lights, radar detectors, and GPS units, to cold weather gear, panniers, and power meters, we have everything you need to help you ride further, faster, and safer.

The Biker & Baker Granola
Frame size is not the same as frame geometry.
Have you wondered why bikes from different brands feel so different, even if the size and type of bike are the same? Or maybe why you may end up on different sizes in different brands?
When comparing models from different brands (or even different models within the same brand), they will feel and behave differently. The geometry of a "race" model can vary wildly from an "endurance" model, even if they are designated as the same size. Also, the advent of more proprietary equipment (stems, seat posts, integrated cockpits, etc.) presents another challenge, as there are fewer adjustments that can be made to improve the fit of the bicycle. For example: a given frame geometry may be correct for the rider in question, but the handlebar and stem measurements are incorrect. Therefore, the overall fit is still incorrect. And if the company does not have post-purchase options for their components, then the rider is stuck with a suboptimal position and/or handling characteristics.
Gear Up Velo offers a "New Bike Consult" service designed to help determine the right bike for you, based on YOU! Taking into consideration your biomechanical markers (height, weight, age, joint ROM, overall flexibility, etc.) and your chosen riding style and discipline, we can determine what brand, model, and geometry would work best for you.
Price: $150
If your new bike is purchased through GUV, this fee is applied to your final total.
