The Cycle-It Guarantee
Train Smarter, Ride Longer. Or It’s Free.
We’re so confident our bike fit will transform your riding that we offer an unconditional 6-week guarantee.
Here’s how it works: After your bike fit in our Johannesburg studio, ride for 6 weeks. If you’re still experiencing position-related discomfort or hitting performance limits because of your setup, we’ll refund 100% of your investment. No questions asked.
That’s how confident we are in our method.
Why can we make this promise? Because we don’t guess. We use advanced video analysis, saddle pressure mapping, and precise biomechanical assessment to get your position perfect the first time. When you combine proven technology with over 10 years of experience, the results are predictable.
THE PAIN YOU’RE EXPERIENCING ISN’T NORMAL
Your Bike Should Be a Source of Joy, Not Ache
The bike you bought off the shelf was built in 6 sizes. It wasn’t built for your body. And every ride with the wrong setup creates pain, wastes power, and steals cycling joy.
Knee Pain
That nagging ache isn’t age or “just part of cycling.” It’s usually improper cleat position or saddle height. Both easily corrected in minutes.
Back & Neck Pain
Riding shouldn’t leave you stiff for days. Wrong handlebar height and reach force your body into unnatural positions, creating chronic pain.
Numb Hands or Feet
This isn’t normal. It’s nerve compression from poor weight distribution. We eliminate pressure points and restore proper circulation.
Saddle Sores
You don’t need to “toughen up.” You need the right saddle shape and position. Our pressure mapping technology shows exactly where the problem is.
You don’t have to just “suck it up.”
In one 60-minute session, we’ll delete these issues so you can focus on what matters: enjoying the ride.
Who is a bike fit for?
Whether you’re a beginner, a weekend warrior, or a competitive racer, a professional bike fit is the best investment you can make in cycling.
The beginner
Prevent pain before it starts. Start your cycling journey with proper form and positioning. Avoid the bad habits and injuries that plague most new cyclists.
The weekend warrior
Finally enjoy those long Sunday rides. Eliminate the nagging discomforts holding you back from riding with friends. Go further, faster, and actually enjoy every kilometer.
