What You Say About Us
  • After Phil’s bike fit, the bike felt really good and I got a 110mm stem that he recommended. Thanks. I’ve already recommended him to two cyclist friends

    Dan Chesham
  • I’ve just completed my two-hour ride with six long hill reps as I’ve been doing for the past six weeks and I am thrilled with my new bike fit. I’m definitely faster, I think it could be worth 1km/hour!

  • Hi Phil you did a bike fit for me on my S-Works bike last week and I just wanted to let you know that I had 2 good rides at the weekend. Everything was good on both rides and was able to put more power down through the pedals and keeping my arms bent. Thanks for all your help and will be in touch for a leg massage soon. Many thanks

  • Hi Phil. Hope tour de Yorkshire was good. Pretty warm weekend for it! Just saying thanks for the bike fit. Whilst I'm no rocket up the hills, I have felt much more comfortable on the bike and getting more power down. This time next year...

  • At first my knee caps took suffering but somehow after the 3rd practice day the pain was gone. All in all I can finally spend long days on the saddle hitting my top avrg speeds with almost no chaffing or aches. Keep up the good work and just wanted to let you know how much I appreciated the work done.

How my bike fitting has evolved over time

Being connected with the global bikefit community has let me keep in touch with current trends and developments in bike fitting. Determining saddle height remains one of the most interesting topics debated. Being a massage therapist I am always aware of the limitations and/or flexibility of each individual customer when it comes to setting the height of the saddle. With this in mind, I still believe the eye is the best tool for achieving saddle height perfection. To assist in the process I have embraced smart technology and now offer slow motion and high definition video capture (240FPS) which enables me to offer before, after and during images to reinforce my decisions.

It has also enabled to use laser lines to effectively track the knee over the pedal spindle, an essential tool in deciding whether a rider is sitting too far forwards or backwards on his saddle.

There are many more expensive bike fits around but few offer the value of Amersham Bike fit embracing technology and the personal touch.

Saddles

For some people sitting on a saddle for a long period can be a painful experience.

Distributing the weight between the handlebars and saddle can help massively to help prevent this.

Saddle choice can also be a factor, which is why I have invested in the Prologo Saddle Fit System. Click on the links provided to see what the saddle fit system can offer.

I aim to have in stock the most popular saddles. I also have test saddles that you can take away and try at no extra cost.

If you do need a new saddle I want to make sure you make the right choice. I have an ever expanding saddle collection for you to try whilst having a bikefit.

As well the PROLOGO brand I also have ISM saddles to test or try. These saddles are popular with the road cyclist and time trialist alike. These saddles have a unique design and can offer an alternative choice to conventional saddles.

Neck and shoulder pain and numb hands

Many of my bike fit enquiries start with a mention of the above problems, here at Amersham Bike Fit I have helped many people get more comfortable holding their handlebars. A unique stem sizing tool enables me to simulate different stem and handlebar positions, to find the best position at the front of the bike. If required I will supply a new stem at cost price (normally £15-£20).

About Amersham Bike Fit

I’m Phil Holloway, owner and founder of Amersham Bike Fit.

I’ve been passionate about cycling since a child and took part in my first road race when I was 12-years-old. At 16-years-old I won the Essex Road Race Championships before going on to represent Essex and the East of England as a Junior.

I’ve ridden all disciplines, from cyclo-cross to banked tracks, and achieved a first category road race licence in my thirties. As well as taking part in 200-km endurance events, I’ve completed two 25-mile TTs in 55-minutes and a 10-mile in 21-minutes. I’m proud to say I’ve even raced against Sir Bradley Wiggins a couple of times, once as a Junior and once when he’d just come back from riding the Giro d’Italia.

Currently I am working for the New Zealand cycling team, when competing in Europe World Cups and Championships.

I am also on the list of great British cycling masseurs/soigneurs and also working for GB U.C.I. elite women’s team CAMS TIFOSI.

 

Why do you need to know this?

As someone who cycles regularly, I’ve had my fair share of aches and pain, including relentless, niggling knee pain. I carried out a few bike fit changes myself but still the knee pain persisted, eventually leading me to another professional Bike fit.

My ‘Eureka’ moment came when I discovered the Bike Fit system. One two-hour session and my knee pain vanished. Not only that, cycling was a substantially smoother, more comfortable experience.
