What's your background in bike fitting?Our approach is backed by years of hands-on experience and ongoing education. John (owner and head fitter at 90+) has invested heavily in understanding biomechanics, bike fit methodology, and rider performance. He’s trained with top industry leaders, attended multiple education sessions, and continues to study the latest research on cycling ergonomics.
-
How long will I be riding during the fit?The actual pedaling time during the fit is usually 15 to 20 minutes, but it varies depending on how many adjustments we’re testing. It’s not a full workout—we break things up with analysis, testing, and discussion throughout.
-
What should I expect after my bike fit? Will it take time to adjust?After we make adjustments, we want you to get out and ride—see how the new position feels in real conditions. Some riders feel great immediately, while others may need a few weeks to adapt. That’s totally normal. We include one free follow-up adjustment within 30 days, so you can get several rides in and come back if anything feels off. Most riders fully adapt to their new position within 30–60 days, depending on how often they ride.
-
Is a bike fitting really worth it?Well… you’re asking the source that eats, lives, and breathes bike fitting—and has helped a multitude of riders feel better, ride longer, and perform stronger. Honestly, we might be a little biased. A proper bike fit can be one of the most impactful upgrades you can make to your riding. It’s not just about comfort (though that’s huge). It’s about: Preventing injuries before they start Improving efficiency and power output Reducing saddle pressure and hot spots Eliminating numb hands, sore knees, or low-back pain And helping you enjoy your rides more, whether you're racing or cruising Most riders are amazed at how much better they feel—especially after realizing they’ve been compensating for a bad position without even knowing it. A new wheelset won’t fix your back pain. A bike fit can. That's not to say a nice wheelset isn't a wonderful addition to your arsenal after we dial you in :) So, yes. It’s worth it. And we’re here when you’re ready.
