INTRODUCTION
Introduction
TheDialedinMotionDynamicBikeFitSystemisdesignedtohelpyoufitabiketoacustomerwhiletheyare
actuallycyclingontheirbike.TheDialedinMotionDynamicBikeFitprocesstakesmanyoftheconcepts
commonlyusedinstaticbikefitsbutaddstheessentialcomponentofmovementtothem.Nowyoucanfita
biketosomeonewhentheyareactuallycyclingunderdifferentloadsorwhenfatigued.Thesoftwarethen
generatesareportthatyoucandelivertothecustomereitherprintedofviaemail.
Process
TheDialedinMotionDynamicBikeFitSystemdesignedtohelptheretailerfitacommerciallyavailablebike
toacustomerquickly,safely,andaccuratelyatareasonablecost.Itisanin‐storesystemthatusesvideo
analysistechnologytogiveabetterinsightintothecyclingmovementbyfreezingthemotionatthekey
pointsinthepedalrevolution.Itisalsodesignedtomaintainconsistencyacrossallstaffperformingbike
fittingintheshopandtoguidethosenewtotheprocess.
Itisnotintendedtoreplacethebikefittingspecialist,justgivethemanothertooltodotheirjobbasedon
biomechanicalprinciples.Itisalsonotintendedtobeaguideforpeopleonhowtoridebikes,thatisfor
coaches,friendsandpractice.Thelevelofdifficultyattemptedbytheridershouldbebasedonskillandnot
theirbikesetup.Inthisregard,especiallyonmountainbikes,thebeginnerridermayneedtheirseat2‐4cm
lowerthatprescribedforthefirstfewweeks.
TheDialedinMotionDynamicBikeFitSystemstartswiththeSetup,thisiscrucialforaccuracy.TheDialedin
MotionDynamicBikeFittingWizardthenusesrelativelyfixedandun‐changeablepartsofthebikeasits
startingpoint,namelythebottombracketandpedals.Theseatheightisseatrelativetothepedalswhilethe
customeriscycling,takingintoconsiderationthecustomer’sleglength.Oncethisisestablished,thefore/aft
positionoftheseatissetbyrelatingittothekneepositionoverthepedalaxle,againmeasuredwhilethe
customeriscycling.
Thenextstepistomeasuretheseatheightrelativetothehandlebars.Thelastcalculationisthestemlength
andthisisbasedonthecustomer’seffectiveupperbodylengthwhilecyclingandistherelationshipofthe
customershead(nosewhilelookingforward)tothehandlebars.Thelastsectioniswhereyourecordthe
finalsetupofthebikesoitcaneasilybefittedagainifneed‐be.
Onceyouhavefinished,theDialedinMotionDynamicBikeFitsoftwaregeneratesareportfromtheresults.
Youcanlookatitonthecomputerandthensenditdirectlytothecustomeryourself.
Disclaimer
Thisprocedureisbasedonarangeofpeoplewith‘normal’anatomicalproportions.However,becauseofthe
variationinmeasurementssuchasleglength,armlength,andbodylengthratios,thosefallingoutsidethese
normalrangesmayneedmorespecialistadvice.

BasicElementsoftheworkspace

Sideviewcamera–positionedatleast3m(10’)fromthebottombracketofthebicycle.Thecameraheight
shouldbesettoaroundthetoptubeheightofamediumframe;youdonotneedtochangethisfordifferent

Frontviewcamera–positionedatleast3m(10’)fromthehandlebars.Thecameraheightshouldbesetto
aroundthetoptubeheightofamediumframe;youdonotneedtochangethisfordifferentsizedframes.
Computerstation–housingdesktopunit,flatscreenmonitorandoptionalprinter.Thismustbepositioned
soitisnotinthefieldofviewofeithercamera.
Neutralbackgroundsandlighting–Backgroundscreenswillnotbeneededinallscenarios.However,in
somecasesyoumayneedtoblockaclutteredbackgroundthatcanmaketheimagesinthevideolessclear.
Greenorbluecolouredscreens(Chromakeyscreens)workwelltoenhancetheclarityofthevideobutany
neutralcolourwillwork.
Avoidblackordarkbackgroundsastheytendto“blend”theathleteintothebackground.Ambient(not
directsunlight)isthebestlightingsource,butifyouneedtoaddadditionallightwerecommend
incandescentorhalogenlights.Fluorescentlightingmayresultinblurryimagesasthecamerawillhavetorun
atlowershutterspeeds.Trynottomixlightsources.Seepages11and12formoreinformationonlighting
andcamerasetup.
Backgroundsheetsarenotexpensive(about$50USD)andcanbefoundbytypingchromakeyscreensintoa
