Fusion Peak Professional Cycle Fitting

Bike fitting is the science (and art) of tailoring the most efficient human+bicycle interface possible. When this is achieved the cyclist can realise their maximum power and speed. Riders can also expect better endurance and improved comfort after a Fusion Peak bike fitting session.

Fusion Peak bicycle fittings are conducted by Aaron, our Certified Fit Technician. Aaron's job is to listen to your needs and objectives and then use his extensive practical experience as a cyclist, a bike mechanic and a trained fitting professional to make changes that will enhance and optimise your riding experience.

Customer Testimonials

It was good to catch up last week. As mentioned I actually rode the "speed" sections of the race on the drops AND felt comfortable. Just couldn't do that before. So a combination of bike fitting and new Selle Italia SLR Gel Flow hopefully has done the trick.

This afternoon's race will be the test! Finished fastest time last week averaging 39.23 km/hr so a fairly good time for that course.

- Thanks again: Max

 

I can report as follows:

• running very smoothly. Gears are shifting clean and smoothly, and perhaps the best they have ever shifted. Very surprised as I did not think it could get better than before
• did 110k on Saturday and consistently produced a better speed:power ratio than at any time before. Seriously, the efficiency I have gained is worth about 2km/hr already
• did 50k on Tuesday morning including a 30 min threshold effort up around 90-95% of FTP. Sure, it hurt but I could generally feel a better all-round engagement of leg and glute muscles. Unlike on previous occasions, I did not get a tightness on the R inner quad muscle. Hamstrings are contributing a bit more of the workload. In pure number terms, it was exciting. I sat at around 38-40km/hr, whereas this previously would have been around 34-37 km/hr
• I stretched on Sunday (well, stretched the friendship with my wife when I told her I was off for a long run). Yes, the new stretching program is going well...

So, the numbers are good. The feel is good. The vibe for Huskisson this weekend is good. The vibe for Melbourne next month is really good.

- Mate, you did a fantastic job with me. Nick

 

I have recently been lucky enough to purchase a new UNOVELO road bike. The bike is a pleasure to ride, lightweight, so comfortable, and responsive. One of the reasons for this is that as part of the deal I was given a bike fit by Aaron Dunford from FusionPeak Cycle Fitting.

The professionalism, knowledge and customer focus shown by Aaron was amazing. He spent several hours making sure that everything was setup perfectly for me and what I wanted to achieve.

- I would encourage anyone who rides a bike to go and see Aaron: Stephen

 

Aaron, some news on the changes you made to my position:

• Neck pain is much less of a factor and can't say I think about it much anymore
• Dead right arm on bumpy Heffron Crits has improved too
• Back pain still comes and goes

Today at Calga I achieved the 25km time trial goal I'd been chasing since May. Today's attempt was 38.88 kmh which is 1.3 kmh faster than my last attempt. Woohoo!

- thanks for your part in helping me get there. Now on to 40kmh :-)

 

The mountain bike fitting market is currently untapped but I'm sure the XC guys and gals will turn out to be a great application of your Serotta Size Cycle's unique capabilities. First, you fit me perfectly on the Size Cycle with no bob or suspension movement, then transfered that position onto my race bike, and then (nice bonus!) set up my suspension.

- I now have a competitive advantage, until the others catch on: Simon

 

I had a good ride on Saturday and the bike felt so much more comfortable. It was well worth doing the fitting.

- Thanks again: Tim

 

It felt fantastic this morning, the difference is incredible. I just wish I had done this a couple of years ago. I was concentrating on the new pedalling technique which feels so much better, really smooth and light not half as much stress on the joints. This has seroiusly revolutionised my approach and my enjoyment factor :)

- I am absolutely stoked about it: Jana

 

Aaron, thank you for fitting me on both my road and TT bikes. The meticulous attention you pay to every part of the fit starting with the cleats, moving to the seat height and saddle width and finishing with stem height and handle bar width has not only given me a marked increase in watts, but these changes have made riding the bike feel the best it has felt in 16 years of riding.

- a bike fit from you is the single best investment any rider could make: Cheryl

 

As the fit went on we made numerous adjustments including saddle height, saddle manufacturer, and stack height. All these changes increased my power and comfort. Being a competitive cyclist we tend to set up our bodies on the bicycle to be aero. Sometimes we take it too far which decreases power. With Aaron, he is able to get you in a position that works for your body without losing the aerodynamic position and power we all go for.

- an entirely different feel which was not only more comfortable but more powerful: Nic

 

As every serious rider does I'm always looking for any opportunity for a slight increase to my performance: lighter parts, better nutrition, smarter training, etc. Earlier this year Aaron from Fusion Peak did fittings for me on both my road bikes and my time trial bike. After getting used to the new position my increase in power across all my training zones was dramatic with a noticeable rise of 6-7%.

- this is not the first time I was 'fit' but Aaron takes the art of fitting to a new level: Tre

 

I am now stronger and more relaxed on my bike, and more aware of my position, pedal stroke, and handling. This all makes for more comfortable and efficient riding, which in turn makes riding more fun!!!

- I feel refreshed after rides now, rather than like I just beat myself up: Amber

 

Aaron's attention to detail during his bike fits is like no other! I was very nervous about transitioning from my road bike to a tri bike because of the difference in the style of riding but Aaron fit me perfectly on my tri bike.

- even had a stranger tell me on a training ride that I was perfectly set up: Lisa

 

Thanks heaps for the "Custom Bike" fit with the Size Cycle, my brand new Surly Pacer feels like I have been riding it for 10 years it is so comfortable.

- I have started riding to work and am already feeling fitter: Andrew

 

I would like to get my bike setup soon. Lee was overwhelmed with your service and professionalism. He is very happy with the changes.

- one night that suits next week if possible?: Jacinta
