We are clear that in cycling and triathlon the KEY to success is power and economy on the bike. Bike fitting is critical to achieving this. It’s not just about the pure biomechanics of power development. Equally important is balancing the aerodynamic effect versus power output. This ensures the fastest possible forward motion with the least resistance and maximal power output.
With Andy’s experience both as a qualified fitter, specialising in Biomechanics & Aerodynamics, and his high level racing experience he is almost uniquely placed to deliver a fantastic result for you. Andy has now fitted over 300 athletes, and has multiple 5* reviews on Google reviews and Facebook reviews

Bike Fitting for ...
Triathlons
Triathlon is about balancing aerodynamics, power generation and economy. This ensures you are fresh for the important run. We also look specifically at your target races to make sure your set up meets your needs.
Time Trials
The goal of TTs is to maximise forward motion for less effort. The ‘enemy’ is air resistance. We work on your CDA and make adjustments to reduce it. Even a 2% decrease can save 30secs in a typical 1 hour TT!
Road, MTB, Gravel Riding & Racing
From novice bike rider to seasoned racer, Andy uses his expertise to ensure the optimal fit suited to your riding plans. Focusing on every aspect to ensure you can deliver the best possible performance
Andy's Approach to Bike Fitting
Biomechanical and Aerodynamic Goals
1. Optimise your position
Firstly, it makes you faster for the same effort through simply ensuring the correct fit.
2. Increase your comfort and efficiency
Secondly, a well fitted bike is comfortable for long distances. This ensures you are as energy economical as possible.
3. Reduce, prevent or rule out injury
Finally, an optimum bike position avoids unnecessary strain on knees, back or shoulders.
Andy’s training and experience has meant that at Peaks we uniquely offer both biomechanical and aerodynamic bike fits. Andy has been trained by the best in the UK, to offer full IBFI recognised biomechanical fits. The result is the balance of maximal power generation with comfort and efficiency that covers all branches of cycling. Whether it’s road, triathlon, track, time trial or mountain bikes, the perfect bike fit will deliver better performance.
In 2020 we are entering our 3rd year and Andy has now fitted over 300 people! We are using the latest technology, and constantly upgrading the fitting experience & aligning this to Andy’s fitting expertise & unique experience from 20+ years of high level racing in Triathlon, short & ultra distance Time trials, Road & MTB racing.
It’s more than just a ‘fit’. Its HOW to ride to maximise pace, power and performance – yes almost anyone can ‘ride a bike’ – But can you ride it optimally? That is part of what will be addressed in the fit process, as well as discussion of optimal other kit or accessories that may help you achieve your goals.
From Novice to Professional – we cater for all
Andy also then advise on HOW to train in this position to make it become ‘second nature’ and for you to deliver those benefits when racing.

Our bike fit levels
We want to keep it simple and offer 3 types of fits – Road Fit ,Aero Fit & Video Aero Fit
Why the difference? Within our TT/Triathlon fit we spend detailed time analysing your frontal area via motion capture software, to determine your ‘aerodynamic silhouette’. Utilising Andy’s experience from elite racing we will look to put you in a position to balance aerodynamics and power generation. We then ‘test’ power output to ensure we optimise this position. Finally, we also offer advice on components and the best ‘wind cheating’ technology.
With our partners at Aerocoach, we can also facilitate ‘real life’ aero testing. On a velodrome we use computer analysis of air flow so we can make micro adjustments to maximise your forward motion.
With both our Road and Aero fits you get full detailed reports to take away and keep. There is also the option for a free 4 weekly follow up. Plus, we offer a discounted rate for additional bikes.
