Prepare the setup
Use a trainer or stable support, level the camera with the saddle, and wear fitted cycling clothing so joint landmarks are visible.
Bike fitting at home
Bike fitting at home with AI photo analysis
You can solve many bike fit basics at home with a careful photo, a few measurements, and small repeatable changes. BikeFittr gives you a structured way to check saddle height, saddle setback, cockpit reach, and posture before you guess.
Best for
DIY bike fit at home
- Step-by-step workflow for a repeatable home bike fit
- AI pose detection for visible riding angles and position checks
- Works with a phone camera, good lighting, and a stable bike setup
- Helps avoid random changes that make the position harder to diagnose
Check saddle and cockpit
Start with saddle height, then saddle offset, then handlebar reach. Changing the saddle later can change how the cockpit feels.
Repeat with evidence
Save measurements, re-take the photo after each change, and compare the new position against the previous fit check.
Common questions
What equipment do I need for bike fitting at home?
A smartphone or camera, good lighting, a tape measure, and a stable bike setup are enough to start. A trainer is ideal because it keeps the bike and rider position repeatable.
Can I use BikeFittr without a bike trainer?
Yes, but the photo must still be stable, level, and side-on. A trainer usually gives better repeatability and safer photo capture.
How often should I repeat the fit check?
Repeat it after each meaningful adjustment or when changing saddle, shoes, cleats, stem, bars, crank length, or riding goals.
