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.
- If you have serious body mechanic or medical issues that need to be addressed, we also offer a high level bike fit with our partner Larry Meyer at BUILD. Larry Meyer and his team of bike fitters are all Doctors of Physical Therapy and will be able to address body function from a medical perspective to achieve the best bike fit possible for those needing a bit more.
- 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.
- DIY remotely by following our instructions to submit your measurements. This is a great option for those who are not able to make a trip to the shop to order their bike from us. Will will work with you to do a remote bike fit.

Remote Fit – Submit measurements online
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.
