Dinardo's expert staff uses the Juteau-Cantin
Bike Fitting System to ensure that you achieve the proper fit
on your bike. You will be 'in the right place' on your bike to increase
comfort, reduce wear and tear on your joints and improve your ride
efficiency.
THE BIKE FITTING SYSTEM
The Juteau-Cantin System provides Dinardo's expert
staff with the tools to accurately take your measurements and determine
what size of bike is required using a table of bike geometries.
This will make certain that you get the right size and brand
of bike to provide you with an optimum fit.
MEASURING THE RIDER
Dinardo's has the equipment on-site to take measurements
and fit you on your bike. The system is based on a number of formulas
that use your: Basic inseam measurement to determine seat
height and frame size, and Forearm length to ascertain stem
height and length.
CHOOSING THE BIKE
Using the system's table of bike geometries, Dinardo's
staff will be able to recommend a specific combination of bike brand
and frame size based on your measurements. One often overlooked
detail is that bike brands fit people differently because of the
design and sizes offered.
Because of these different geometrics, not all
bikes will fit all body types. In addition to variables in size,
bikes also have different frame angles, top tube lengths and clearance
heights.
You can try bikes for feel — checking top
tube length and stand-over height clearance. The key is for you
to select a bike that is comfortable and will give you confidence.
This is also why Dinardo's offers bike fitting and the 'Ride
Before You Buy' service.
FITTING THE BIKE
Once the bike is selected, it will be placed on
the system's bike platform. This will enable Dinardo's staff to
take accurate measurements of the bike itself as well as your position
on the bike and adjust it to your requirements to achieve optimum
fit.
The system is an excellent starting point and further
adjustments can be made based on your feel and comfort while sitting
on the bike when it is on the platform.
Adjustments that can be made on the platform:
- handle bar stem height
- seat height
- seat setback
- cleat position (if req'd)
- alignment of knee over peddle
