Bike Fitting Service in Maidstone
Everyone is made differently; we fit your bike to your build
You may have been riding in the wrong position for years and not known it.
You may not have been optimizing the power through your leg muscles. Instead of 50% power, you could achieve 100%.
You may be able to achieve a more aero-dynamic position to help you improve your overall speed.
Perhaps you have an injury or have had surgery? It is likely that you are already making compensations in the way that you walk, and you will when you mount your bike too.
Here, at Senacre Cycles, we are an authorised Giant Powerfit retailer. This means that you have the opportunity to get your new bike professionally fitted using top of the range technology, in store, with Cedric. For £125 you will receive the very best assistance. See below for details on how we fit you to your bike and then read the testimonials from our customers.
This does not however mean its only for new Giant bikes. With many years experience working with many brands, Cedric, has shaped the fit process which can be adapted to meet many different bikes and goals.
We also use different saddles and properly measure your feet. This is all achieved in our bike fitting room.
The fitting bike itself has been purpose built by GIANT and is designed to accommodate all body shapes and sizes.

We offer a full fit with any new Giant over £2000 free of charge and only £50 for any bike over £1000.

Our Bike Fitting service is as follows:
PowerFit is the only bike fit system that focuses specifically on improving your power output and balance through correct fit for increased performance and efficiency.
Developed by Giant and Wattbike in conjunction with leading sports scientists, PowerFit is based on biomechanic principles and delivers tangible, objective results proven through Wattbike pedalling force and efficiency analysis. PowerFit sessions consider individuals cycling disciplines, injury history, pain during cycling and performance goals to deliver an optimised position which can then be transferred to other bikes. The practical session includes assessment of current pedalling technique and force using Wattbikes proprietary Polar View Technology, with a comparative assessment following set-up and position adjustments to demonstrate improvements.
Analysis of the force applied to the left and right pedals independently through the entire pedal stroke enables the technician to help you work towards a well-balanced, smooth, strong pedal stroke to deliver optimum power and efficiency.
PowerFit is a bespoke service, tailored to your individual needs so the price and duration of a session will vary.
When you consider the money you spend each year on your passion; bicycles, cycling gear and even nutrition, events, holidays and supportive training and physiotherapy – a bike fit is a great value investment because it will improve your cycling experience as a whole and can deliver significant performance improvements that can be transferred to new bicycles.
PLEASE NOTE: Bike fitting is for all brands and not Giant only. The GiANT jig is just the jig we choose to use and can be used on all brands of road bikes

Feedback from our customers
I decide to have a bike fit after years of cycling. I went to Senacre Cycles as I had heard great things from the people I cycle with. I went along and spent time with Paul and found out my bike was setup all wrong for me. He spent time explaining things to me and adjusting my bike so fitted me properly. After all the adjustment I went round the block for a quick spin. It felt like a new bike and so much faster.
When I went to with my club at the weekend for a ride it was so much more comfortable and seemed so much faster the best upgrade you could spend your money on. Being comfortable and in the right position is much more important than a new set of wheels.
Thank you Paul.
Daz Wilson - CTCI had joined The Weald Tri Club for fun and throughout the year entered some triathlons and found myself winning my category at some events. A friend of a friend suggested I look into representing GB in my age category – sometimes known as Super Vet!
Hence, last year, I entered a duathlon qualifier and qualified to go to the World Duathlon Championship Finals in Spain in June. After I qualified, I thought who can I get to help me with this: it all felt very overwhelming. One of my ideas was to ask Senacres and I called up and spoke to Paul who listened to my nervous gibberish! He replied, offering me a bike fit and support at preparing for my races. “What did I think”? “Perfect”, and it really was. I was still nervous that he would blind me with bike jargon and stats, but no, he pitched it perfectly, and gave me some further confidence. Not only did he help me by adapting my bike position but also with some technic and nutrition tips.
I came 5th in Spain and then went on to the World Triathlon Championship Finals in Mexico where I came 9th. So 2017 here we come! I’ll soon join Paul to plan out the year and how I can perhaps get more out of my bike, or might I upgrade?! Jane Pemdered
