Specialized, in conjunction with Dr. Andy Pruitt, (30-year, professional fit expert to the pro's, director of the Boulder Center for Sports Medicine and author of Andy Pruitt's Complete Medical Guide for Cyclists,) designed a fitting system that can achieve an ergonomically correct fit for mountain, road, and triathlon riders. It is called BG FIT (Body Geometry Fit Integration Technology).

This comprehensive fit philosophy and methodology is now available at THE BRANTFORD CYCLEATH. Our BG FIT Technician, Stuart Querney helps cyclists ride faster, longer and in greater comfort, while reducing the chance for injury by implementing the BG FIT method. We fit the bike to the rider, rather than the rider to the bike. BG FIT technicians receive extensive Body Geometry training from Specialized using fitting principles established by the Boulder Center for Sports Medicine to analyze each riders unique attributes, pedal stroke and body position. Using the data gained during the assessment, they optimize the bike and equipment to match the riders bio-mechanical profile, enabling the rider to ride longer, faster, and in greater comfort. If BG FIT is for you, please call 519-751-2825, E-Mail or come in to make an appointment.
