Measuring the Rider
The Juteau-Cantin bike fit kit system is based on several
measurements on the rider, the two most important being the inseam and
forearm length.
The inseam measurement provides the required frame size
and forearm measurement is used to determine a starting point for the
stem length and consequently the cockpit length of the bike.
Juteau-Cantin has also completed detailed frame geometry
measurements for all the major and many of the minor road bike brands
available in Australia and worldwide.
Based on the geometry tables for each manufacturer, the
proper size for any road bike can be determined. |

Juteau-Cantin Certified Ergonomic Geometry
In 2005 Bikebug purchased a Juteau-Cantin
bike fit kit system.
The system allows
us to accurately and properly measure the rider and determine what size
road bike is needed based on the measurements of each individual manufacturer.
The system also includes a platform and measuring tools
to properly measure and set-up any bike, road or mountain.

Fitting the Bike to the Rider Fitting
a bicycle properly to a rider starts with measuring the rider and finding
the correct frame size.
The next and more important step is to now correctly fit the bike to
the rider.
The Juteau-Cantin bike fit kit system includes tools for easily measuring
the bike, and rider’s position on the bike.
The platform that the bike sits on simplifies the process and makes the
entire process more accurate.

It is very important to remember that a system such as the Juteau-Cantin
(and something they emphasize themselves) is that bike fit is not as scientific
as some would suggest.
The recommendations based on the measurements and data of a bike fit
system are the starting point.
Based on a rider's flexibility and preferred position, the length and
height of stem may be changed, or even the size of the bike.
The Juteau-Cantin system provides us with the tools necessary to provide
you, the customer, with the right sized bike custom fit to you. |
