I was having an issue with my aerobar positioning. Booked a basic fitting with Frank. He quickly discovered that my set-up did not offer enough variability. He suggested we switch out my existing aero bars to a set that offered more forward/backward and up/down adjustability This, along with making a series of important adjustments to my seat, handlebars and hoods, and cleat positioning, created a more efficient and comfortable position for me in "the cockpit". The difference was immediate and significant. I no longer feel unstable over the bars, and my positioning on the bike is much more comfortable in aero, down on the drops, and up on the hoods. Frank is very knowlegable. He obviously works hard at staying updated on any new information that becomes available, but he also has the experieince to recognize something that is a fad, vs. a change that would be biomechanically effective. My professional background is in the area of lower extremity biomechanics, so it was a pleasure working with someone capable of taking sound scientific principles and applying them to a real world situation. Frank...thanks for your time, your expertise and your patience with this process - it's greatly appreciated.
Great customer service and great catalog of products! James and Frank are very knowledgeable and helped me a lot when choosing my new pair of cycling shoes! Keep up the good work guys!
I had a great experience buying my first road bike (and accessories) from Racer Sportif. Frank and James were very knowledgeable and helpful, and they were a pleasure to work with! I checked out a few other bike shops during my research process and Racer Sportif's customer service and quality of product really stood out. Highly recommend!
We all want to be able to ride powerfully and comfortably, right? Up until now that has been an iterative process that required guessing and several visits. With this bike fitting process precision is now possible. Having precise measurements and the ability to monitor how a cyclist pedals removes the guesswork as well as providing real insight. One fitting and immediate comfort and power improvements. Why bother guessing we you can get a precise fit that works and can be easily repeated across multiple bikes? This process is what all active cyclists have been waiting for.
I ordered my bike online from another online retailer 12 months ago because I found the right bike and size. I was happy to find a bike that was available but it lacked the personal touch and initial set up. Therefore I reached out to Racer Sportif the closest professional bike shop to me. Frank completed a bike fit for me. It was a game changer and some of the best money I’ve spent on my hobby. I love how my bike feels after riding it for 12 months. Now It feels much more natural. I feel more balanced on the bike. My legs feel like I’m getting better extension and are less incumbered. Best way for me to describe it . They recommended some small component changes and they have made a big difference. I also asked to have my bike tuned up Now my bike is shifting like a dream. Best it’s been for sure through the full range. Thanks guys! I couldn’t be happier and feel more excited to ride it. These guys are true professionals, zero attitude and super passionate about the sport. They also have a great selection of bike, apparel, gear and components.
My bike needed some maintenance extremely last minute, having had a great experience at their shop before I brought it to them. Expecting to be out of luck, they went above and beyond and were able to tune up my bike within the same day! Excellent customer experience, their staff are friendly and very knowledgeable.
Absolutely great experience from the moment we walked in. Very friendly staff. I had heard that they only catered to avid and knowledgeable cyclists. But as a recreational rider and semi-knowledgeable cyclist the experience my wife (she was buying a new gravel bike) and I had dealing with Frank (the owner) was top notch. He took the time to find out what our needs were and then explained everything in very simple language. We never felt intimidated or pressured. After the bike was ready he took the time to ensure the sizing and fit was right and made the appropriate adjustments. I would highly recommend Racer Sportif in Oakville for any of your cycling needs.
