    Chainsmith IdMatch Bike Fit Lab · Sydney

    Bike fitting begins with the rider.

    Every rider brings a different body, riding history and objective.

    Chainsmith combines IdMatch technology with experienced assessment and practical workshop knowledge to understand how you interact with the bicycle. Whether refining your current position or assessing a bicycle before purchase, the objective is the same: a position that can be understood, documented and applied with confidence.

    Fit-First Bike Selection

    Assess your position before purchasing a bicycle · $660

    Experience and assess the proposed riding position before you commit.

    A bicycle may appear suitable on a geometry chart yet place the rider very differently once frame dimensions, front-end components, saddle position and individual proportions are considered.

    We first establish a position informed by your body, movement, riding history and objectives. The IdMatch system is then configured to represent the bicycle you are considering, allowing you to experience and assess its proposed position.

    Where useful, one alternative bicycle or configuration may also be simulated for comparison. The service can be used for a new, second-hand or online bicycle, whether purchased from Chainsmith or elsewhere.

    The simulation assesses fit, geometry and proposed riding position. It does not reproduce differences in frame material, handling or ride character.

    Your consultation includes

    • 3D body measurement and postural assessment
    • Dynamic biomechanical analysis
    • Establishment of ideal riding-position parameters
    • Simulation of your nominated bicycle
    • Dynamic assessment and refinement of the simulated position
    • Simulation of one alternative where appropriate
    • Saddle pressure mapping and dynamic saddle assessment
    • Shoe analysis and cleat adjustment
    • Frame-size and component guidance
    • Documentation of your final fit position
    • Post-purchase position verification

    Comprehensive Bike Fit

    For your existing bicycle · $560

    A complete assessment of the relationship between you and your current bicycle.

    We consider your posture, movement, contact points, riding objectives and existing setup to identify where your position can be better supported.

    Where appropriate, agreed adjustments are made during the appointment. Further component recommendations are provided where the existing setup limits the position or outcome.

    You leave with a documented position, an understanding of the changes made and a practical plan for anything still to be addressed.

    Your bike fit includes

    Focused service

    Saddle Fit

    Pressure mapping and dynamic testing · $200

    Saddle discomfort is the most common issue riders report to us—but discomfort alone does not reveal which saddle will provide the right support.

    Our Saddle Fit combines pressure mapping with dynamic testing on your bicycle. We assess how pressure is distributed, how stable you remain while pedalling and how different saddle shapes interact with your position.

    The objective is not simply to recommend a popular saddle. It is to identify the characteristics most appropriate for you and allow you to experience the difference.

    10-day Saddle Hire$110

    Continue testing the recommended saddle during your normal outdoor riding.$70 is credited toward your saddle purchase.

    Your saddle fit includes

    • Saddle pressure mapping and analysis
    • Dynamic testing on your bicycle
    • Testing across a considered range of saddle brands and models
    • Saddle installation
    • Equipment and bicycle-setup guidance where required
    • Option to continue testing through saddle hire

    The outcome

    Evidence-led saddle guidance supported by pressure data, observation and your experience on the bicycle.

    Focused service

    Cleat Fit and Adjustment

    Your foot-to-pedal connection · $120

    Cleat position influences how the foot is supported, how the knee tracks and how effectively the rider interacts with the bicycle.

    We assess your shoes, feet and current cleat setup before testing the position dynamically on your bicycle.

    Cleats are adjusted or installed during the appointment, with recommendations provided where another part of the bicycle setup may be contributing to discomfort or instability.

    Your cleat fit includes

    • Shoe assessment
    • Foot assessment
    • Knee-tracking assessment
    • Cleat adjustment or installation
    • Dynamic testing on your bicycle
    • Recommendations where the wider bicycle setup requires attention
    Book a Cleat Fit
    The outcome

    A considered foot-to-pedal position, dynamically assessed as part of the rider’s wider interaction with the bicycle.

    Why Chainsmith

    Measurement is the beginning, not the conclusion.

    The IdMatch system provides detailed measurement, dynamic analysis and bicycle simulation. Its value lies in how that information is interpreted and applied. Chainsmith combines the technology with experienced observation, practical mechanical knowledge, saddle pressure mapping and workshop support.

    01 / OBSERVE

    Understand the rider

    We consider your body, movement, riding history, objectives and experience on the bicycle rather than treating measurements in isolation.

    02 / INTERPRET

    Apply experienced judgement

    Technology supplies evidence. Experienced assessment determines which findings matter and how they should influence your position, equipment and recommendations.

    03 / REFINE

    Turn findings into action

    With workshop support and appropriate fitting components available in-store, agreed changes can be applied where possible and the final position clearly documented.

    Frequently asked questions

    Choosing and preparing for your fit.

    The correct service depends on whether you are assessing a future bicycle, refining one you already own or focusing on a particular contact point.

    Which bike-fitting service should I choose?

    Choose Fit-First Bike Selection if you are considering a new, second-hand or online bicycle and want to assess its proposed position before purchasing.

    Choose the Comprehensive Bike Fit if you already own the bicycle and want a complete assessment of your current position and setup.

    Choose Saddle Fit or Cleat Fit and Adjustment when your principal concern relates to one of these contact points.

    Can you assess a bicycle before I buy it?

    Yes. Fit-First Bike Selection allows us to simulate the proposed riding position of a bicycle you are considering.

    We can assess your nominated bicycle and, where appropriate, simulate one alternative bicycle or configuration for comparison.

    The simulation assesses fit, geometry and proposed position. It does not reproduce differences in handling, frame material or ride character.

    Does my bicycle need to come from Chainsmith?

    No. Our fitting services are available whether the bicycle was purchased from Chainsmith, another retailer, online or second-hand.

    Our purpose is to understand the rider and provide clear guidance based on their position, equipment and objectives.

    What types of bicycles do you fit?

    We fit road and gravel bicycles.

    If you have a time-trial or triathlon bicycle with fixed or integrated aero extensions, please contact us before booking so we can confirm whether your particular setup can be accommodated.

    Can Saddle Fit or Cleat Fit be booked separately?

    Yes. Both are available as focused services when the rider’s principal concern relates to one of these contact points.

    If the assessment suggests that the concern is being influenced by the wider riding position, we will explain whether a Comprehensive Bike Fit should be considered.

    Are bicycle adjustments included?

    Where appropriate and agreed, positional adjustments that can be completed during the appointment are included.

    Replacement components, workshop labour beyond the fitting appointment and more extensive mechanical work may incur an additional cost. This will be discussed before proceeding.

    What should I bring to my appointment?
    • Your bicycle, when fitting an existing bike
    • Your usual cycling shoes
    • Current insoles or orthotics, where applicable
    • Close-fitting cycling clothing
    • Details or links for bicycles you are considering
    • Relevant information from previous fittings, where available
    What will I receive after the appointment?

    Your final position and principal recommendations are documented following the appointment.

    The information provided depends on the service selected and may include positional measurements, bicycle or component guidance, saddle findings and recommended next steps.
