Fitting

"The corner-stone of every Baum"
Bike fit - and the process - is pivotal in helping us create a Baum for you. We offer three options, providing you with the greatest flexibility in the event a visit to our factory is not possible.

Factory Fitting

With either a pick up from Avalon airport or a casual stroll through our front door, we start with a coffee and a tour of the factory. From there, we’re able to transfer your three primary points of contact on the bike (saddle, pedals and bars) and use that as a starting point for your Baum fit. Just like a tailored suit, a bike fit is as individual as you. Our intent is not always to change. But with data capture, power balance, vector analysis and lateral pedal stability as just some of the features at our command we’ll look at every aspect of your current fit before discussing (and introducing) any changes.

It’s imperative to remember it’s a bike, not a fitness test. Our Shimano fit bike is impressive but is yet to be blown away by anyone’s wattage output. While we will reproduce heavier loads that is only to ensure comfort and efficiency is consistent over varying intensities.

Third Party Fitting

We’re very happy to work with a fit from another bike fit professional. You’ll find a link to our PDF, outlining the key points we need for your Baum. So long as we have the three primary points outlined in the factory fit (saddle, pedals and bars) then we can work with that in tailoring your bike to you.

Adaptive Sizing

We offer a range of Baum ‘standard’ sizing, for those riders who tell us “I’ve ridden 'x' forever. I know it fits. But I want it with Baum flavour”. If you’re one of those riders, fear not. No one knows what fits better than you. Where we come in is working together, delivering you a Baum uniquely refined to your ride specifications but in your selected size.
