Consultation

Consultation/Domestique

A domestique in cycling is referred to as the rider who works for the benefit of his of her team and leader. As a consultant in many forms I hope to be able to help you.
 

Built on the philosophy of “set yourself up for success” I offer these domestique style of services in a consult package that includes 3 calls.

​

We will discuss your bike build (components & parts) and set-up. Drop bars vs. Flat bars. Camp gear. Disadvantages and advantages of certain gear. We will provide you with suggestions based on your answers.

​

  • First Call - Getting to know YOU 

    What are your goals, strategy, mindset, comfort level, approach to the sport? This helps us coach you properly. We will lightly dive into gear.
     

  • Second Call - Bike Gear and Set-Up
    We will discuss your bike build (components & parts) and set-up. Drop bars vs. Flat bars. Camp gear. Disadvantages and advantages of certain gear. We will provide you with suggestions based on your answers.

     

  • Third Call - Goals/Route Planning/Strategy  

    We will go deep into how to approach your event. Best places to refuel. How to problem solve. We will work through difficult scenarios of what may happen. Mental prep. Making sure you feel confident in your tour whether it's a route in your backyard, the Tour Divide, or Iditarod we want to make sure you are prepared in all aspects of your tour. â€‹

 

We can do this through email, video conferences or in person.

Bike Fitting & Outfitting

A properly fitted bike helps with not only comfort and performance but with injury prevention too.

A properly outfitted bike, loaded with bikepack bags and accessories, rides more stable, is more comfortable and is much more efficient.

Both of these combined make for a much more enjoyable adventure!

 

Jay has logged hundreds of bike fits. He attended the original Serotta Fit School as well as completed a F.I.S.T. course, another original and founder in fit. As a cyclist himself logging over 10k miles per year, having ridden and raced in every discipline as well as earning legend status in ultra-endurance bikepacking he knows the real balance of comfort to performance like few do. With an approach of combining science AND considering the cyclist's body, mechanics, goals, strengths, weaknesses, limitations, and injuries, every fit is tailored to the individual.

Comprehensive Fit and Assessment - 90 minutes, $200

  • Start off with an interview to learn about the client's goals, needs, limitations, history, and injuries.

  • Take several static measurements of the body. 

  • Do a flexibility and body balance assessment.

  • Evaluate cycling shoes and achieve proper cleat placement.

  • With the bike mounted on a trainer, we will achieve proper saddle height and the for/aft of the saddle.

  • With an adjustable stem mounted on the bike we will talk through and achieve handlebar positioning.

  • Make product recommendations.

On the Road Fit and Assessment

This is a add-on to the Comprehensive Fit. $100/hr

 

Taking the fit to the road, in the real world, by going for a ride, is the best way to truly test your fit. We will ride from the studio, after your comprehensive fit, and talk through how the bike fits and feels. Jay will be able to make small changes while riding, assess you while you're in different positions and producing different amounts of power. Jay typically will give you tips and make suggestions on proper pedaling technique and body engagement while riding. 

 

We Combine the Comprehensive Fit and the On the Road Fit to reach a fully functional productive experience for $275.

 


A comfortable rider is a happy rider.
