DO I NEED A BIKE FIT?
Welcome to Bollington Bike Fit, located at the heart of some the regions finest routes and trails for enjoying time on your bike.
Since 2016, our custom Bike Fit services have been helping cyclists achieve increased performance, improved comfort and pain free cycling at all levels from Elite level & GBCT performance athletes, sportive riders, novice through to lifelong cyclists. Our aim is to ensure you can achieve your goals, minimising risk of long term injury, maximising performance and above all, enjoying the ride.
Below are a few questions about your riding. If you answered yes to just some of those questions then a custom bike fit is for you! The list is not exhaustive, but just analysing one element, will not eliminate the other areas. Just raising or lowering your saddle for example, will not alleviate all your aches, pains or performance issues. We are experienced in working with female athletes where comfort is often compromised, when looking for performance. Male and female bike fits require a totally different approach and we are proud to be specialists in female bike fitting services.
Do you struggle to change gear or brake safely?
Your saddle may be too far back or too high. Your handle bars may be too wide, the stem too long so stretching your reach too far, your shoulders may have reduced mobility in the shoulder joint, requiring adjustment to the reach, as well as mobility & stretching exercises.
Do your knees twinge? Are you shifting a lot in the saddle?
Your feet may be positioned too far forward or too far back over the centre of the pedal, causing your knee to over/underextend or flick outwards or inwards during the pedal-stroke. Your saddle tilt may be causing you to put pressure through the knees to compensate the pressure into the saddle.
Do you regularly feel pins & needles or numbness in hands/feet?
You may need a new or alternative footbed to support and realign your instep/heel/arch. Your reach to the bars may be too long, or the bars too wide, putting a strain through your neck into your shoulders. Your mobility may be reduced due to lack of regular stretching.
Do you find climbing out of the saddle difficult or painful?
Your overall riding position is causing too much strain throughout the body, with pressure being put through your spine, onto your shoulders and into your hands. Fatigue will also set in earlier and you may experience cramping.

Why use us
JAMES & CLAIRE
ABOUT BBF
Building on the bike fitting services already established through their coaching business, Bollington Bike Fit was born when James & Claire moved to Bollington in early 2020 to be at the heart of the North West’s cycling community. With a growing demand already in the NW for their knowledge, experience, expertise and care for the client, it seemed the right time to launch the Bike Fit Company as a stand alone business.
SERVICES
Bike fit services are offered to fit client’s needs and goals, there is no one size fits all. From returning to cycling after a break, to daily commuting, increasing training hours in the saddle or following an injury, BBF works with you to ensure that your comfort, health and performance on the bike is the only focus.
Currently based in Bollington, Macclesfield, BBF also offers home visits by appointment within certain areas.
EXPERTISE
Working with our coached clients, our bike fitting experience began, through identifying areas causing health or performance problems, and working on transforming the rider’s relationship with the bike. With a special interest in female specific bike fitting, due to working with a number of female coached athletes who suffered in silence due to lack of female specific physiological awareness in the Bike Fitting Industry, our expertise in this area started to grow and develop.
James is a fully certified BikeFit TM Level 2 fitter.
