Bike positioning

Based on a number of questions, we start the analysis.

• What are your specific objectives?
• Have you suffered injuries in the past?
• How many hours do you currently train per week?

Both the knee bolsters, knee bars, hip benders, hip stretchers and the iliotibial band (side leg and hip) are screened for flexibility. This screening plays an important role in the later positioning on the bike as the length of the muscles determine the possibilities for movement.

We look at both the pressure distribution under the feet and the mobility of the foot structure. Based on these observations and the analyzes during cycling, we decide whether the making of personal bicycle soles is appropriate. For the bicycle soles, Golazo Energy uses specific non-attenuating materials. These provide a very rigid and lightweight bike sole that optimizes pedal efficiency and power transmission.

The Animal 4D scanner (4D = height, width, depth and time) measures and analyzes the entire back curve, pelvic position and the rotation of the vertebrae relative to the pelvis and each other. This analysis is crucial in view of the major influence of the bicycle position on the back load and the problems of back complaints in many cyclists.

Since the bike positioning is carried out on our dynamic GURU fitbike you do not necessarily have to bring a bike. If you already have a bike, we will scan your current bike using a Retül 3D measurement system and take over its geometry on our fitness bike. Your current cycling position will then become the starting point of our search for your optimal cycling position.

Often, shoe plates are placed on touch. This can lead to a loss of efficiency and overload injuries. Correct positioning of the shoe plates based on foot and lower leg structure is therefore essential. It is recommended to bring new shoes with you if the current shoes are worn.

The bike position is dynamically analyzed with the Bioracer Motion system. This allows us to perform a simultaneous left/right measurement of many important parameters of bicycle movement (angles of articulation, position of knee relative to forefoot, knee path, balance, left/right differences,...). Positioning is performed on a dynamic GURU fitbike. During cycling, we adjust the bike position based on these different parameters. We are looking for the ideal combination of efficiency and comfort.

We'll capture your new optimal bike position to the nearest 1mm. With this information, we will adjust your current bike (as far as possible) on the spot.

In addition, Golazo Energy has a very extensive database with the latest bike frames. If you want to buy a new bike, we can advise you which bike best fits your ideal bike position.

After the analyzes, we will discuss all the test results. What are the changes to the bike position? What exercises can you perform to improve your stability, pelvic position, pedal efficiency and agility? We take the time to go over everything in detail.
