idmatch is an innovative bike fitting system that allows you to scientifically find the ideal set up for your bike using a combination of both science and innovation, that makes it both reliable and easily accessible to all. Using algorithms, it can be adapted to each type of user, with the aim of guaranteeing the rider maximum comfort, performance, and wellbeing. Dave Mellor Cycles are pleased to be the first bike shop in the UK to offer this service, with a new bike fit studio, with fits being carried out by ex-professional cyclist Erick Rowsell and International Bike Fitting Institutes, Darren Ellis.
Over 30,000 people have been tested with the bike-fitting system idmatch BikeLab, in more than 130 centres worldwide, 50,000 cleat placements with Cleat Fit, there has been constant positive feedback from dealers and riders alike. idmatch was created with the intention of helping every cyclist find the best possible set-up for their bike, starting with a 3D body scan and an in-depth interview with the rider discussing aims, previous injuries, and any bike related issues.
Your own bike can be measured with laser precision to input a starting position for your dynamic bike fit. This is also where your final bike fit data will be transferred onto your own bike.
You can also allow the idmatch software to suggest a starting position according to your body scan measurements, injury history and type of riding, starting with a fresh position.
Personally fitted Saddles and handlebars are fitted to the idmatch bike according to your chosen discipline.
A cleat fit is undertaken as a part of the bike fit, and cleats are set before you start your dynamic bike fit.
Once all the data has been analysed, handlebars and saddle selected, and cleats adjusted, you are ready to climb aboard the idmatch bike. This is where the magic happens. The software will measure angles and how you are performing on the bike and with feedback, your perfect bike fit will be realised. This can be transferred to your existing bike or assist in selecting the correct size for your new bike.
