Bike Fitting
Let the experts at Zinn Cycles find your perfect fit!
Zinn Cycles is committed to providing athletes of all sizes with the opportunity to truly achieve the perfect fit on their bicycles. Cycling equipment availability is limited for many people, such as for those who are short, tall, or don’t have average proportions. Many people are also plagued with joint or back issues. Riding a bike that is designed to work optimally for your unique body is one of the best things you can do to reduce or prevent knee, neck, back, and other pain or discomfort. Cycling is an incredible form of exercise that is easy on the body if you’re using a properly fitting bicycle. We want to be sure that everyone can comfortably ride a bike for fun, exercise, or competition. Zinn Cycles offers the widest size range of cranks, cycling components and bicycle frames in the world to help optimize the fit of any bike. With a professional bike fitting, you can be sure that every part of your bike will be proportional to you no matter what those proportions are.
Whether you are looking to buy a bike from Zinn Cycles, trying to improve the fit of your existing bike, or trying to determine the best off-the-shelf bike for you, a bike fit at Zinn Cycles is the best way to dial in your bike and be sure that you will be riding with the best comfort and performance. We can optimize your fit for any type of bike from road to mountain, gravel, triathlon, hybrid, and touring bikes.
The options available are:
- For road, gravel, recreational, triathlon, or hybrid bikes, we offer an Elite Bike Fit by Lennard Zinn at our Louisville, Colorado shop. Our GURU fit bike can be micro adjusted while you are on it to find the tiny changes in position that will produce the most comfortable bike for you.
- For mountain bikes, we use the RideLogic fit system developed by world renowned mountain bike skills and fit coach, Lee McCormack. A RideLogic fit will get you comfortable and into an optimal position to maximize mountain biking performance.

RideLogic mountain bike fit with Nick Wigston
Bike geometry is essential to your success trail riding. We believe a bike design should allow you to really shred and also be comfortable on your bike. With a custom mountain bike fitting, you can ride aggressively all day long.
When the distance between your feet and the handlebars fits your body, you’ll feel more in sync with your bike. With the correct measurements, you can perfect the pumping motion and generate more power while pedaling, which is essential to body movement when mountain biking. Bikes that are too long or do not match the proportions of your body can reduce movement and hinder your ability to pump quickly over impediments, steer precisely in sharp turns, and navigate descents confidently.
Lee McCormack of Lee Likes Bikes has created the RideLogic™ fit system to deliver a simple yet effective strategy for selecting an ideal frame size and obtaining the perfect cockpit dimensions, so you can maximize your potential when riding. Far different from traditional mountain bike fitting methods, this is the first true shredder equation that allows riders to get their mountain bike perfectly fitted.
If you need assistance finding the perfect mountain bike for your size, we have been trained by Lee McCormack in the RideLogic fit system to get you fitting perfectly on any mountain bike. We offer personalized in-person fittings and can even construct a custom bicycle based on this geometry if necessary – guaranteeing that it fits perfectly with your body type.

Do it yourself
Follow our instructions and submit your measurements online if you are interested in purchasing a bike from Zinn Cycles. Lennard Zinn has made it easy for anyone to follow our bike measuring instructions and take their own measurements. This is sufficient for getting a frame designed by Zinn Cycles. We will examine your measurements when they’re submitted and design the frame based on those measurements. It is important to have another person help you with the measurements for the best accuracy. It is also a good idea to take the measurements at least three times each. Rest assured that we are very good at catching errors, so we may ask you to redo some measurements.
