OUR PRIME OBJECTIVE IS TO MAKE YOUR BIKE AN EXTENSION OF YOU.  FOR POWER.  FOR COMFORT. FOR HANDLING.  FOR SUCCESS- WHATEVER THAT MEANS TO YOU.

Everything at ACME starts with a bicycle fitting.  A bicycle fitting is an optimization of your cycling position to best match your goals, flexibility, strengths and weaknesses. ACME uses a procedure that has been refined over 13+ years of experience, but there is no prescription for fit based on limb lengths, static measurements, rules of thumb, or anything of the sort.

A bicycle fitting starts with getting to know your goals and history as well as a brief evaluation of your current cycling position and equipment. Next, we perform a few tests of your flexibility and core strength, taking note of any limiters or other factors that might affect your cycling position. Then everyone’s favorite part of the fitting takes place, putting you on the Guru Dynamic Fit Unit (DFU) and watching your ideal bicycle position take shape.

The ACME philosophy has always been to adjust the bicycle to the person, rather than forcing the person to compromise their comfort to fit the bicycle. To this end, each bicycle fitting is performed with the DFU. This allows us to make adjustments to your cycling position quickly, easily, and efficiently; you don’t even have to stop pedaling. It also allows us to experiment with different variables and allows you to see how subtle changes in your cycling position can have a big impact on your comfort and performance. This isn’t the fastest way to do a bike fitting but it is the best and most thorough way to do a bike fitting.
