  • Approximately 50% of the riders who get their bike fit by Coach Brinton are referred by local bike shops or previously fitted riders.

  • In addition to getting riders into the least injury and numbness-provoking position, additional bike fit considerations include; rider comfort, personal interests, age, experience, performance, and aerodynamics.  

  • To prevent and overcome injuries, Coach Brinton will analyze your riding form, posture on the bike, and pedaling mechanics.  You will then learn proven riding techniques, pedaling mechanics, and other tips for injury prevention, reduced muscle soreness, increased comfort, and improved performance.

  • You will receive Coach Brinton’s ProBikeFit Guide detailing the measurements of your existing bike fit, your new fit, and future adjustment recommendations as you develop as a rider and/or as discomforts subside.  The Guide can also be used as a road map for duplicating your new bike fit onto another bike.

  • Bike fittings are performed in Coach Brinton's Cycling Performance Center. As an alternative, arrangements can be made to perform the bike fitting at your location (travel fees apply).

Bike Fit
Done Right

bike fitting, bike fit, bike position testimonialAdam Pantasico (25), State Road Champion, Cat 1 Racer: “Prior to working with David, my bike fit never felt right, even after numerous fittings from popular fitting experts. I now feel more power in and out of the saddle and less numbness in my hands and feet. Coach Brinton’s Fitting Guide made it simple to position my other two bikes. Thank you for saving me money and finally getting me on the right track!“

David Sanfield (41) Owner, Pit Fire Pizza: “Coach Brinton is a bike fitting master. I had a store fitting done when I purchased the bike, but after a few weeks was experiencing some knee pain. Once I started with Coach Brinton he radically altered my positioning, which improved the situation immensely. This is a good thing because after only three months on a bike, I was able to complete 3 consecutive centuries for a charity event. This would have never been possible without David's bike fitting, training, and skill work.”

bike fitting reviewEric Barlevav (22) NRC Pro: “When I started with Dave, I was an Expert Junior MTB Racer. After he did my bike fitting, I improved immediately. I hired him as my coach, and in the two years, he saw my potential and converted me to the road. He had a tremendous impact on my strategies and skills. I utilized Dave's pedaling and sprint techniques during racing and training, which have significantly improved my speed and put in with top NRC Pros.”

Gaurav Malhotra (37) Partner, Accounting Firm: “I came to David at a point when I was riding with injuries and a lot of pain. David fitted my bike and worked on my riding habits and pedaling technique, and over time my pain went away. Once pain free I decided to race. It was unbelievable how much of a difference a few technical skills and little changes in my riding habits can make.”

bike fitting testimonialLea Newton (39), Founder Spinky's Cookies: "I contacted David because I had horrible “saddle" issues. After doing my bike fitting and teaching me great pedaling techniques and riding form adjustments, my saddle issues were not only solved, but I am faster, smoother, and more efficient. My gains were a combination of many skills that led to one huge impact…especially his pedaling/muscle isolation techniques, which is the equivalent of turning on the turbo charger. At 100 pounds, I can now out descend many heavier riders. I have improved so quickly and have gained so much in so little time. Thanks Dave!"

bike fit reviewAndrew Vontz (29) Author, Journalist: “Dave's bike fitting philosophy not only makes common sense, but is actually makes a huge difference. After coaching myself for 15 years, I decided to give a real pro a chance. I chose Dave based on the comprehensiveness of his program, his technical acumen, and the fact that his technique emphasis seemed infinitely more valuable than a plug-and-chug written program. I’m riding smarter, faster, and more efficiently than ever.”

cycling coach reviewBruce Christensen (57), Retired LAPD Officer/Bike Unit Coordinator: "I started training with David prepping for the International World Police and Fire Games. The impact my new bike fit had on my power output, sprinting, and cornering was amazing. Especially considering I have had my bike positioned by numerous others over the years. The combination of David’s bike fitting and riding form adjustment were perfect. My pedaling isolation and standing control instantly improved. I am more powerful, controlled, efficient, and comfortable, even considering my pre-existing injuries. A few months later I won four events at the Western States Police and Fire Games.”
