Mountain Bike Fitting
RideLogic Mountain Bike Fit
Bike Geometry crucial for your ability to truly shred on your mountain bike. We believe that a bike should be designed to shred trails, not simply to sit on the seat and pedal. Once you dial in a bike for aggressive riding, it will pedal just fine. The relationship between your feet and your handlebars is at the core of aggressive riding, and when we optimize that distance, you will feel at one with your bike. This is because it optimizes the most fundamental body movements of mountain biking, which is pumping. If your bike is too long, you won’t have the proper range of motion to aggressively pump over obstacles, carve fast corners, and handle steep descents. Lee McCormack at Lee Likes Bikes, has developed this fit system into a simple yet effective method to help you to choose the perfect frame size and get the perfect cockpit dimensions to optimize your ability to shred trails. As Lee says, Ride with a capital “R”. Lee has developed the RideLogic™ cockpit fit system to create a way of fitting a mountain bike to the rider that is not based on age old fit systems that came from road biking. RideLogic™ is the first true shredder’s formula for getting the ultimate fit on your mountain bike. We offer in-person RideLogic fits on your own mountain bike an we will help you dial it in to make sure it’s really a great fit. We also build custom bikes to this style of geometry in case you have not been able to find a bike that really works for you. Contact us to schedule your RideLogic fit now.

Fitting option 1
Do it yourself
Use this form to find instructions and submit measurements if you are interested in purchasing a bike from Zinn Cycles. Lennard Zinn has made it easy for anyone to follow our instructions and take their own measurements. This is sufficient for getting a frame designed by Lennard. Lennard will examine your measurements, when submitted, and he can 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. Lennard also has a keen eye for errors, so if you mess up, he’ll pick up on it, and have you re-do the ones that may be incorrect.
Fitting option 3
The Ultimate Bike Fit
You can upgrade to a full 3d fitting at the Boulder RETUL Center with Dr. Andy Pruitt. Lennard Zinn, like many bike fitters, is very good at optimizing a rider’s position in the x-y plane (i.e., from the side, including saddle height and fore-aft, crank length, and handlebar reach and drop). However, dialing in the rider’s third dimension, the z-plane, is the area that Andy Pruitt pioneered and continues to be the world leader in. The tracking of the knee, stance width, and the supination/ pronation of the foot on the pedal are critical to power output and injury prevention, and nobody does this better.
