Cadence Sport Bike Fitting - Adrian Timmis Cycling - Burton-on-Trent

Both myself and my husband have used Adrian for bike maintenance, fitting and bike building over the last ten years. I would not go anywhere else. He is patient and knowledgeable and goes above and beyond to offer a professional service to all of his customers. He has also been a very valuable source of general and specific advice for anything bike related. He has bailed us out of many a last minute urgent problems diagnosing and fixing bike issues, nothing is too much trouble.
I had a bike fit when I first started biking and updated fits as I have progressed over time to a more race based position and also a TT position. The latter of these cause initially some knee pain and Adrian spent time sorting this out until I could race in comfort. I would not hesitate to recommend him to biking friends for both bike maintenance and fitting.

Just wanted to say thanks Ade for helping me find the correct position on my new TT bike this year. The results since I came to you in the summer have been excellent.

The hip pain has gone and both power numbers and times have improved. It amazing the difference those small changes we tested made and I now feel at one with the bike. Its interesting to looking at my best power numbers on a graph this season and the upward trend since my bike fit @cadenceSport.

Looking forward now to my last couple of races before the winter training begins and next year targeting the BAR once again now my hip and position seems to be sorted, thanks once again Alastair : )

Adrian was recommended to me for a bike fit and he didn't disappoint. I was put at ease upon arrival and found him to be friendly and knowledgeable throughout the fit. I'm looking forward to putting the fit and advise to use. I have no hesitation in recommending Adrian.

Had a bike fit last with Adrian Timmis and I was absolutely blown away - what a difference, I’ve been out of action for several weeks and now am raring to go and get my fitness back. Lots of small adjustments = huge difference. Pic 1 before (tense/terrible position) the 2nd is after - felt so much more relaxed and much easier to get more power (I’ve been riding like I’m leg pressing 🙈) thank you also for sorting out problem with electric gears too (charged but wouldn’t change) battery in both handlebars needed changing - who knew’ Anyone looking for an exceptionally knowledgeable bike fitter (Adrian has rode in the TDF and been to the Olympics 💪) I would highly recommend a bike fit with him.

Despite cycling for over 30 years I never thought I really needed a bike fit! However after hitting the ripe old age of 50 I started to feel the aches & pains after long rides and decided I needed to review my set up, positioning etc… Lots of people recommended Adrian and luckily for me he is based just 30 mins down the road. The session was easily booked online and he managed to see me in just a couple of weeks. The session was great and to a cycling fan like me, really interesting. Adrian was brilliant , talking me through the session and explaining why certain things were so important. The bike was soon set up and he also sorted my shoe cleats too - something I always find tricky! Since the fitting, I am not only more comfortable on the bike but also my performance has improved too. Worth also mentioning that I have also used Adrian to service my main road bike given I trust him so much. All in all, I couldn’t recommend Adrian high enough. Not only is he a great professional but also a great bloke. Oh and did I mention the bonus that you get to spend a couple of hours with a former Tour De France & Olympic legend too…wow! Thanks Adrian.

Over the last 10 years I have had 3 fittings from Adrian as I have got new bikes, become slimmer, older, stiffer. They have all been excellent. Adrian has a wealth of knowledge to share and does so generously. Not only does he fit the bike to you for the riding you want but he advises of how to hold the bars, where to place your hands for comfort and safety, etc.
I have no hesitation in recommending him whether you are a national level racer or a weekend rider.

I met Adrian a few years ago but feel compelled to write a review based on what I've seen someone write recently questioning his knowledge and experience. Something I completely disagree with.

I first heard about Adrian through a friend and was at first reluctant to meet but all that anxiety was unfounded with utter professionalism, dedication and knowledge to provide a first class exemplary service to a social cyclist with a view to improving my performance and what a difference it made. For anyone out there, no matter what your experience or performance levels a bike fit with Adrian is worth every penny.

Excellent service provided by Adrian.

In June I took my most recent machine to Ade for a bike fit. This isn't the first occasion either. A different bike with different geometry meant a new fit was needed. I'd also been experiencing knee pain for a while.

As per my previous bike fit Adrian took his time and set the bike up for me. Not huge changes, seat post height, saddle adjusted, brake hoods moved (Adrian's pet hate). He didn't need to adjust my shoe cleats as I've kept them as per the previous bike fit I'd had.

Adrian explained the knee pain was probably due to the seat post being too low. I'd lost the figures from my previous fit so guessed. It transpired it was 12mm too low!

Within a few days I was on a cycling holiday in France. I cycled every day on some steep gradients and long climbs (850m height gain in a single climb). Out of 12 possible riding days I rode 11, several hours per day i missed one due to 50mph gusts of wind during the first week.

All knee pain had gone. The new hood position felt amazing, the reach is excellent and the saddle height made it feel like I had more power.....despite being overweight and much older....lol. As a result I have found the confidence that I'm not past it, that I can still ride in the mountains (albeit slower). A big part of that was the new, more comfortable position on the bike.

I was so pleased I had to send Ade a thank you message from France.

Highly recommended service.
