Are you ready for a new bike? Measure before you buy!
Are you planning to buy a new bike? On this page, you can read what Optimal Cycling can do for you in this difficult quest with this package. Using the Purely Custom bike, I can easily set a desired geometry with a number of rotary levers. This allows us to look very specifically at which bike would suit you best, including all necessary components such as; crank length, steering width and stem length. Or if you already have your eye on a bike, how it should be optimally adjusted. Ultimately, this way, I can determine your optimal bike settings!
This process corresponds to the optimal package, but after everything has been analyzed, the data will be processed into a database that lists all bicycles of all brands and frames with their geometries. This way, you can therefore perfectly see which brand and frame with the necessary components is right for you! Of course, this can be specified according to your own preferred brands and price range. If you have then received the bike, we will schedule another appointment to make the exact adjustments!
Why this package is right for you?
Choosing a bike based on a size chart for height is guesswork. If you're willing to spend your hard earned money on a new bike and invest many, many hours into riding it, you want to know exactly what you're buying. Optimal Cycling will act as your reliable and impartial advisor so you can find the bike you've always been looking for.
Optimal Cycling does not sell bicycles... and is therefore completely impartial. As an independent bikefit studio, we have no obligations to certain brands, we can offer you a completely unbiased service. That way, you know that we always have only your best interests at heart.
If you're confused by all the marketing, geometry, tables, and component options, it's time to take your knowledge to the next level with a trusted expert. The more you know, the better decisions you can make.
All size charts and calculators are not personal but based on averages. If you find yourself falling between two standards, this is a common problem that is easy to solve. You are an individual with a unique body and specific riding goals.
A bike's geometry plays a key role in how your bike handles and how it responds to your movements. More detailed information about this can be found in the blog “Geometry: What is it and why is it so important to buy a new bike?”
Personally, I am of the opinion that it is always advisable to do a bike fit with a fit bike beforehand. This way, you know in advance which bikes meet your personal requirements and you won't be surprised. Especially considering the current bikes, where the cabling runs inside and the steering wheel and stem form a whole (cockpit). This is labour-intensive to replace and also expensive.
With this in mind, the first thing to do is ask yourself what you're going to use your bike for, what types of terrain you plan to ride on, your own physical abilities, and your own personal preferences. The bikes that show the professionals on TV are focused on delivering performance. They mainly ride in a deep aggressive position to catch as little wind as possible. In addition, they train in this position every day and, in addition to cycling, they are also busy with agility and trunk stability exercises.
In general, a bicycle's geometry must be sufficiently balanced to ensure a good combination of stability, ease of handling and comfort, bearing in mind that some disciplines require a more specific geometry. It's practically impossible to find the perfect bike for all terrains and all conditions.
Customer Reviews
Professional in two ways. Knowledge of the body and the right equipment. This combination makes it the ideal bike fit. And then also fun and the opportunity to plan it in the evening. Thanks Coen!
Last year I did a bike fit and had custom insoles made this year. You will be helped by Coen in a pleasant and professional way. Highly recommended if you want to get just a little more out of cycling!
After a year of experiencing foot problems while cycling and trying various options, I ended up with Coen. After measuring, I ended up on different shoes and these completely resolved my complaints, very happy to be able to cycle painlessly again!
Coen is a very nice guest but above all a knowledgeable professional! The Optimal Pro package helped me a lot. Coen has the latest equipment available that allows him to adjust your bike perfectly to you. Also great advice about shoes. No question is too much, he takes the time to explain everything. Unlike a previous bike fit elsewhere, this is now a very positive experience!
I want to recommend a bike fit at Coen to every cyclist. Coen is a real sports fanatic, professional, independent and takes all the time for you. I had been looking for the right position for a long time. To no avail, and that's why I lost the pleasure of my biggest hobby. I get back on my bike with confidence and enthusiasm. That was missing for a long time. Absolutely recommended and definitely worth the ride from Venlo for me!
Coen is a passionate athlete, physiotherapist and bike fitter. These three parts are the golden combination of an ideal fit. Coen first starts with a physical exam (physio), which he uses as input for the start of the bike fit. During the bike fit, Coen has enough material to make the final fit. In my case, I was also able to borrow a saddle to try for the ideal position on my triathlon bike. Top 👌
Last year I had to adjust the shoe plates, unfortunately I had to buy new shoes due to an accident, but experience was very good so I had to go back to Coen to get it adjusted. Due to my and him's vacation, he was able to plan me quickly in between, really great service. I immediately went for a round and the shoes and pictures are really great. Super service again!!
Got to do a saddle meeting with Coen today. Extremely knowledgeable, tidy and fast in his communication. In addition to the saddle meeting, he had also taken the time to give me some tips as a new cyclist, to adjust the cleats and to adjust the height of the saddle... Happy with my new saddle!! Thanks Coen!
