Once you’re signed into your account you’ll be walked through all the steps necessary to complete your fit including properly setting up your bike on its trainer, lighting, camera placement, and video settings. If you’d like to understand what’s involved ahead of time, you can read our setup instructions here.

Yes, to complete a fit accurately the software needs to be able to analyse you pedaling in a stationary position with some resistance on the pedals. If you don’t have a trainer yourself we generally recommend asking a friend or reaching out to your local cycling community to see if someone is willing to lend you one. If you are unable to find a trainer, some riders have had success leaning with their shoulder up against a wall and pedalling backwards. Please be aware that we cannot guarantee results when used in this manner or their reliability.

Absolutely! We currently offer six bike types you can select for your fit:

• Road
• Gravel/ CX
• MTB
• Triathlon
• Time Trial
• Spin/ Exercise

Each bike type will contribute to a unique set of fit recommendations based on the overall position and needs of that discipline.

Once you’ve uploaded your riding video, it takes approximately 90 seconds for your results to be generated. This time can vary a little depending on your internet speed and how many riders are completing a fit.

There is quite a bit of information included in each fit report, so outlining here in the FAQ might take a while. To keep things simple, you can find a sample fit report here, or read our blog post that breaks it down further.

While there isn’t a single answer to this question, here are a few indicators that you might benefit from checking in on your fit:

• You’re experiencing pain or discomfort on the bike
• Your fitness has changed significantly
• Your mobility and flexibility has notably changed
• You’ve had an injury that impacts how you feel when cycling
• You’ve bought a new bike or new equipment such as pedals, shoes, saddle, handlebars, etc.

While the answer will vary from rider to rider, some riders benefit from adapting their fit in minor ways frequently (even over the course of a season), while others are able to only check in every few years.

As changes in cleat position can have broader impacts on your fit, MyVeloFit’s software can identify and respond to changes in cleat position but does not provide cleat positioning recommendations. Luckily, we’ve developed a helpful guide to help you set up your cleats just as we would.
