We say it over and over again - everyone deserves to be comfortable on their bike. That’s why we offer four different levels of bike fit. For the beginner, the Trainer Fit offers a great starting point to achieve greater comfort and efficiency. For those looking for an unmatched bicycle fitting process, we offer the Dynamic Series bike fits on our Guru Dynamic Fitting Unit (DFU).
Why FIT Matters
During the bike fit, we optimize your position for power, cadence, and most of all - comfort. Because whether you’re a recreational cyclist, mountain biker or triathlete, making you comfortable on your bike is our number one priority. We know that the more comfortable you are, the more you will enjoy riding your bike.
When you purchase a bike from Swim Bike Run, you can be confident that every detail was chosen according to your specific needs. It’s as tailor made as a new bike can get. After all, it is Your body. Your budget. Your bike.
Our Mission
Bike "sizing" is at best inconsistent, and at worst, misleading. Bikes were once sized by measuring the distance from the center of the bottom bracket to the center of the intersection of the seat and top tube. If bike frames were all built the same, that would be fine. But they aren't.
Other bike shops may assume that all cyclists roughly 6 feet tall will ride a 56cm or 58cm, not taking into consideration the difference between brands, frame styles and the riders themselves. Consequently, lots of athletes are riding bikes that simply don't fit. But there is a better way.
Dynamic 1 Fit
This is our Intermediate level fit.
Dynamic 1 Bike Fit:
This Bike Fit takes about 1.5 hours
This is our Intermediate level fit, but don't be fooled - this fit goes deeper than many other St. Louis bike shop's highest level fit! This fit combines the knowledge of our expert fitters and the motors of the DFU to take you through a fluid fit process where you never have to get off the bike to compare position adjustments. This type of instant feedback between positions is truly a game changer for all cyclists.

Dynamic 3 Fit
This is our Advanced level fit.
Dynamic 3 Bike Fit:
This Bike Fit takes about 2 hours
This Bike Fit is the cream of the crop. Like the Dynamic 1 Fit, the Dynamic 3 Fit allows our fitters to find your optimal position while you are pedaling. But we go even further by performing and saving three bike fit positions and then toggle between the three. By comparing the fits to each other, you know which is truly optimized for your personal power, cadence, and comfort.

Dynamic 5 Fit
This is our Olympic Athlete level fit.
Dynamic 5 Bike Fit:
This Bike Fit takes about 2.5 hours
Our expert fitters designed this Bike Fit specifically to be the most precise and athlete-specific fit option available in the midwest. Instead of limiting the bike fit to 3 effective seat angle positions, the Dynamic 5 Fit process follows a rider through five complete bike fit positions. The end result is a fit position that is tailored, to the millimeter, to a rider's strengths.
