question Comfort
DO I NEED A BIKE FIT?
Welcome to Bollington Bike Fit, located at the heart of some the regions finest routes and trails for enjoying time on your bike.
Since 2016, our custom Bike Fit services have been helping cyclists achieve increased performance, improved comfort and pain free cycling at all levels from Elite level & GBCT performance athletes, sportive riders, novice through to lifelong cyclists. Our aim is to ensure you can achieve your goals, minimising risk of long term injury, maximising performance and above all, enjoying the ride.
Below are a few questions about your riding. If you answered yes to just some of those questions then a custom bike fit is for you! The list is not exhaustive, but just analysing one element, will not eliminate the other areas. Just raising or lowering your saddle for example, will not alleviate all your aches, pains or performance issues. We are experienced in working with female athletes where comfort is often compromised, when looking for performance. Male and female bike fits require a totally different approach and we are proud to be specialists in female bike fitting services.
Do you struggle to change gear or brake safely?
Your saddle may be too far back or too high. Your handle bars may be too wide, the stem too long so stretching your reach too far, your shoulders may have reduced mobility in the shoulder joint, requiring adjustment to the reach, as well as mobility & stretching exercises.
Do your knees twinge? Are you shifting a lot in the saddle?
Your feet may be positioned too far forward or too far back over the centre of the pedal, causing your knee to over/underextend or flick outwards or inwards during the pedal-stroke. Your saddle tilt may be causing you to put pressure through the knees to compensate the pressure into the saddle.
Do you regularly feel pins & needles or numbness in hands/feet?
You may need a new or alternative footbed to support and realign your instep/heel/arch. Your reach to the bars may be too long, or the bars too wide, putting a strain through your neck into your shoulders. Your mobility may be reduced due to lack of regular stretching.
Do you find climbing out of the saddle difficult or painful?
Your overall riding position is causing too much strain throughout the body, with pressure being put through your spine, onto your shoulders and into your hands. Fatigue will also set in earlier and you may experience cramping.

Why use us
JAMES & CLAIRE
ABOUT BBF
Building on the bike fitting services already established through their coaching business, Bollington Bike Fit was born when James & Claire moved to Bollington in early 2020 to be at the heart of the North West’s cycling community. With a growing demand already in the NW for their knowledge, experience, expertise and care for the client, it seemed the right time to launch the Bike Fit Company as a stand alone business.
SERVICES
Bike fit services are offered to fit client’s needs and goals, there is no one size fits all. From returning to cycling after a break, to daily commuting, increasing training hours in the saddle or following an injury, BBF works with you to ensure that your comfort, health and performance on the bike is the only focus.
Currently based in Bollington, Macclesfield, BBF also offers home visits by appointment within certain areas.
EXPERTISE
Working with our coached clients, our bike fitting experience began, through identifying areas causing health or performance problems, and working on transforming the rider’s relationship with the bike. With a special interest in female specific bike fitting, due to working with a number of female coached athletes who suffered in silence due to lack of female specific physiological awareness in the Bike Fitting Industry, our expertise in this area started to grow and develop.
James is a fully certified BikeFit TM Level 2 fitter.

🥶 Winter Miles are Coming. Don’t Let Discomfort Cut Them Short.
As the temperature drops and the lanes get damp, our bodies (and bikes!) react differently. Stiffer muscles, heavier clothing, and longer hours in the saddle can expose a poor bike fit, turning a rewarding winter ride into a painful battle.
🚫 Hands numb? Your reach might be too long or bars too wide.
🚫 Knees twinging? Your cleat or saddle height needs attention.
🚫 Sore neck/back? We can optimize your position for better stability and control in the wind and rain.
At Body Dynamics Bike Fit, we ensure your position is dialled in for maximum Comfort and Injury-free Performance, whatever the weather throws at you. Don`t waste your winter training fighting your bike.
The Specialist Advantage: We’ll give you the perfect fit for the season ahead.

✨ "A wonderful experience from a knowledgable & experienced bike fitter! 5*✨
"I was struggling with a bit of neck pain so decided it was time to book an appointment. The fantastic Coffee on arrival was a good sign I had made the right decision! James provided an excellent fitting session and his recommendations to reduce my handlebar width and adjustments to my saddle height and cleat positioning have resolved the issues I was having. I would also highly recommend the shoe beds that were offered. Overall a wonderful experience from a knowledgable and experienced Bike fitter." J
That`s the feedback we LOVE to hear! We recently helped a client resolve their persistent neck pain and achieve ultimate comfort on the bike, proving that a professional bike fit isn`t just about speed – it`s about making every ride enjoyable and pain-free.
No more struggling with discomfort! Our detailed analysis identified key adjustments, from handlebar width to saddle height and cleat positioning, plus the added benefit of custom shoe beds, all contributing to a truly transformed riding experience.
It`s amazing what a knowledgeable and experienced fitter can achieve. (And yes, the coffee helps too! 😉)
Thank you for the wonderful 5-star review! Your comfort is our priority.

What a great recharge week! Cobbles, canals, beer, waffles, trails, tracks and plenty of fun.
Always an amazing trip in Flanders, the cycling Mecca! Both of us were trying out our new gravel steeds, and explored some interesting, challenging routes! The bikes certainly helped the cobbles pass by a little smoother.
Please with our gravel set ups! No aches or niggles at all. Good job we know what we’re doing! 👀😁
Looking forward to keeping busy at the weekends with more bike fits, just check the calendar 📅 or give us a call to chat through your niggles or concerns.
See you soon! #gravelbike #bikefit #cycling #girlsonbikes #gravelcycling #rechargeyoursoul

***out of office***
Mr & Mrs Bollington Bike Fit will be back in a week. Off to the land of 🍻🚴♂️🚴♀️ 🍫 and Cobbles.
***Honest & upfront***
Want to ride stronger and with more comfort? A professional bike fit is the single best upgrade you can make, and it`s cheaper than a new set of wheels!
We`ve been busy recently helping both new and returning riders get dialed in, and we`re passionate about providing an honest, upfront service. That means no sugarcoating—we’ll tell you if your frame is the wrong size or if a piece of gear just isn`t right for you, and provide solutions to help. Our only goal is to see you riding with a smile.
We`re taking some well earned time off at the end of September, so if you`re looking to get your fit sorted for those upcoming winter miles—on the road, trails or on the turbo—get in touch to book your session for October.
Give us a call to chat through any issues you`ve been having: 07766 281223

Evenings like this are made for hill climb supporting. Last one of this years series with @macclesfieldwheelersofficial @bhimab
Great to meet this lovely lady last week with her new bike. Looking forward to enjoying the mountains with her husband without sore shoulders, saddle sores and more confidence descending reaching the brakes!
Such an important safety element of cycling often ignored, braking!
Many women have smaller hands and shorter fingers than men, meaning generic components such as brake levers need adjusting to allow for the shorter reach.
It’s the small things that can add so much value to your ride.
