Certified & Experienced

My coaching background which involved working with world-class athletes of all, my racing, and personal injury history have been a significant inspiration for learning and staying up to date with the most cutting-edge fitting techniques for my clients, having a comprehensive understanding of biomechanics and movement on and off the bike through years of studying endurance and power sports. I have medical biomechanic certifications, I have coached kinesiology professors, physical therapists, I have been to multiple bike fitting schools, I make custom 3D printed Lifts, Wedges, Designed and made by me to manage leg length differences and instability in feet to protect knees, hips, back, ankles… I've witnessed profound effects on power, and endurance, and I feel most important, the long-term health of my clients by profoundly reducing injury risks.

BIKE FIT by TFT / THE FORCE TRAINING PERFORMANCE STUDIO

2035 PLACENTIA AVE UNIT E COSTA MESA, CA 92627

It's for Everyone

It is often overlooked by new riders and not done frequently enough by experienced athletes.

For ALL endurance athletes, BIKE FIT by TFT can mitigate repetitive stress injury risks and sore points as the body adjusts to both new movements and static holds. Muscle soreness is a positive adaptation that can be managed and recovered from for growth. Acute pain will not only have a negative impact on your health and goals but also take the joy out of riding your bike. So many people I have worked with have learned to tolerate so much discomfort they don’t know what feels right or good.

Too often do I see experience riders that all of a sudden developed a problem, strain, or injury that took them off the bike for weeks or months. They didn’t all of a sudden have this problem, over time major muscle development imbalances occurred, bodies great ability to compensate for some people it takes years before they are in serious pain, others sometimes months after something as seemingly harmless as changing a pair of shoes, saddle, new bike.

Pricing and Service

X - Y Fit Bike Fitting for Road, Tri, Adventure, Gravel, CX, MTB, Track, OR FUTURE BIKE PURCHSE Fitting

Including G8 2620 or Shimano Custom Fit Insoles 375$ +50-100$ for Tri/TT bikes

Using a Purely Custom X-Y Fit bike is the most ideal way to test any and every circumstance to ensure the most perfect ideal fitting with what you have and also ensure to test parameters you might not have with your current bike. If you are considering buying a new bike you want to do this before you buy! This can save you a ton of time and money. I have over 30k in tooling to utilize and dozens of saddles to test from but I start by putting your bike on my Purely Custom Platform and measure everything to apply to the XY fit bike, then I take a comprehensive dive into the feet, pedal, cleat, insole interface, looking for instability, posterior, anterior, medial or lateral muscle dominance, also determining leg length differences and creating solutions. Looking for the most ideal contact with the foot and shoe even before you get on the fit bike. I will make suggestions for ideal shoes or other in the fitting for future. Anyone with current custom insoles or the proper insole to support their foot, the fitting cost is 295$ for full fitting.

Comprehensive fitting, non X-Y Fit Bike, Options + Other Testing
The Comprehensive Non-XY Bike Fitting is a fitting where the bike you have would go on a trainer and platform I have, I take all the measurements of the bike, take a deep dive into your feet for cleat fitting, legs, hips like I would on the XY fitting, then get you on the bike for any all adjustments that can be made, record the critical angles and notes or any recommendations for shoes, insoles, components down the road on a Bike Fit by TFT PDF that will help you with future bikes or recommendations of all kinds. (For some tri or other complicated bikes the basic fitting is 225$ because of the length of time to adjust some)

All full fittings are followed up with the most comprehensive bike fitting follow up, expectations via email with fitting document. I check in a few times post fitting to see how the adaptation process is going. Future set ups of cleats, shoes, new saddles, new bikes, issues come at a major discount.

All fittings, if they take less time than anticipated I charge less!

There could be an additional cost of shims, wedges, and lift. I use custom 3D printed Lifts, Wedges, Designed and made by me to manage leg length differences and instability in feet to protect knees, hips, back, ankles… These costs are pretty minor. The most expensive I have seen the additions be is 60$ per set of shoes. The average cost is around 20$. ,

Everything I do is circumstantial, I can help people with flat bar roadbike with flat bar pedal set up, E-Bike, or other bike circumstnaces to make sure you have more injury resistance. Depending on the circumstnaces, time we might be able to get you set up for less. Figuring out what saddle is ideal can be a super tough thing to determine on your own, and expensive!! With the PurelyCustom fit machine I can set up the fit bike to your exact, current fit measurements and we can test and evaluate what saddle is ideal for you, referencing your previous saddle in seconds. A large selection of saddles to choose from JCOB, FIZIK, ISM, PRO, ADAMO, SPECIALIZED, SELLLE ITALIA, PRO LOGO, SELLE SMP with continuing to grow this selection. You bring your current bike and saddle so I can utilize the measurements and your current saddle for the baseline. Some saddles might be able to be utilized for short term demo’s at a cost.

I sell in house wide cycling shoes by Shimano, LAKE. I also stock Assos, Ceramic Speed, Speedplay, Shimano, Stages, Quarq, Zipp, Fluid, Perfect Amino, Conti Tires….
