As part of the new partnership between Ian Cassidy of CycleFit Ireland and Piranha – we are delighted to offer a new member offer.
For members – we are able to offer a reduced price of €130 for a Retul bike fit (normally €160 full price) The revised price is due to a combination of a reduced base price for Piranhas from Ian and a limited subsidy on part of the club (in line with our reduced subsidy strategy for this year).Please note that this offer is limited to the first 20 interested parties, with bike fits to be done before mid Jan 2014.
What is Retul fitting?
It is the latest and greatest in bike fitting.
Retül tools, technology and methodology are built on three foundations that result in the application of accurate, objective and comprehensive bike fit data to a rider’s position on the bike:Dynamic fitting is the most realistic
Using motion capture technology, Retül records a rider’s position while he or she is in motion; therefore, creating the most realistic picture of the rider’s actual pedal strokes and body positions when out on the road and trails. Ridinga bike is different than sitting on a bike, and capturing data dynamically presents a clearer and more accurate picture of a rider’s movements.Biomechanics are best assessed in 3D space
Fit data collected in a traditional two-dimensional plane (such as video) is fairly limited because the fitter has to isolate a single view at a time. In order to see how all of the applicable movements of the body are working together, the frontal and sagittal planes of a rider should be viewed as interdependent reference points. Retül’s motion sensors simultaneously gather data on multiple angles of the rider in three dimensions so a fitter can not only see measurements such as knee and hip angles, but also lateral knee tracking and hip lateral travel.Measurement accuracy is vital
Slight inaccuracies (the difference of millimeters) can drastically change a rider’s feel after a ride. The Retül system is accurate to within less than a millimeter, creating true objective data which can be utilized by the fitter for the perfect biomechanical fit. Small adjustments can make a big difference in alleviating back, knee or neck pain, and those adjustments will improve a rider’s performance.Who uses it?
