What to bring to your Pre purchase appointment
This information is relevant to your initial pre purchase appointment, where we use the sizing / fit bike. For what you need to bring to your second appointment (the post purchase session), please refer to the what to bring to your dynamic cycling analysis session article.
- Cycling shoes, with cleats - If your cleats are worn out, please do not change them before your appointment, because we need to record their current position and wear pattern. If your cleats need replacing, please purchase new cleats and bring them with you.
- Orthotics - If you use them in your cycling or regular shoes
- Cycling shorts / bibs - We really need to see your joints during the off the bike assessment and while you ride. In addition, we will be placing stickers and sensors on various anatomical landmarks. To increase the accuracy of the data collected, we need you in tight cycling shorts / bibs. Nothing baggy, loose fitting, or anything that goes past the knee (this is very important!).
- Cycling jersey or a sleeveless top - Something relatively form fitting is better than a baggy T-shirt, if possible. No long sleeves please, we need to see your elbows.
- Pedals - Please bring your own pedals with you. If you do not have pedals, please let us know in advance so we can make arrangements prior to your appointment.
- A mask please
- Optional You can bring your bike if you have one, to be used a reference point.
Additional Important Notes
- Please avoid using sunscreen and / or body lotion the day of your appointment. We will be placing stickers all over you and they do not stick at all to skin if you have used either products
