Our Bike Fit Philosophy
Comfort
Being comfortable will allow you to focus on more important matters like the adventure, increase your enjoyment with your fellow cyclists, beating your friends back to the trailhead so you can get that cold one, developing your aerobic/anaerobic capacity, pushing your VO2 Max, making up some lost time from the swim (my tri folks), and maximizing your performance on your road bike, mountain bike, or gravel bike!
Holistic Hands-On Approach
We use the Specialized Body Geometry Fit (Certified in 2013) method which consistently nets amazing results through assessment, adjustment, evaluation, and practice to optimize your bike riding position, saddle and shifter angle/height, stem length, shoe to cleats alignment(including Speedplay pedals), so we can keep you injury free and minimize any issues later down the road.
Guaranteed 100%
Once you receive our professional bike fitting, we follow up with you to make sure that you are still feeling a great bike-rider connection. We'll schedule any followups if needed to get you feeling 100% on the bike and make any changes based on your feedback.

Client Testimonials
Todd Nguyen
My girlfriend was a new cyclist, training long bike touring event with me, and she was having issues with some knee pain and saddle comfort that we couldn't figure out how to fix. We did a basic bike fit with Brian who was able to help her adjust her seat position, hand position, and foot position which helped with the knee pain instantly. We were also able to try a bunch of saddles during the fitting session and found one that worked for her. We've ridden over a thousand miles since our fitting session last spring and the fitting measurements, position improvements, and stretches that Brian provided have been worth every penny.
Mahan Bigdeli
I had my first ever bike fitting today and I’m so glad that I went to Brian for this! He’s very knowledgeable and knows exactly what he’s talking about! My ride has significantly become much smoother and more comfortable! My only regret is that I waited so long to do this. Thank you so much Brian!!!
Dylan Smith
Brian is awesome he was able to adjust things that I could have never thought of to help with the numbness in my hands
Lucas Wang
Had a great time hanging with Brian and getting my fit done. I'm only a day out, but I already feel a difference in my ride thanks to the adjustments he's made.
David Schach
Brian is knowledgeable, he cares, and he has a great eye. He picks up on the smallest things and always has a few fixes in mind, so you can be confident that you're going to come out of there feeling much better on your bike.
Callie Smith
Great experience start to finish with Brian! He’s got lots of knowledge and experience from 11 years of bike fits. He explained why he made each adjustment and gave me lots of opportunities to weigh in on how I was actually feeling on the trainer. I came in with 3 or 4 notable pain point that I usually feel within 30 minutes of riding, and so far, all of them are now non-issues. The studio also has a very lovely and relaxing vibe - I quite enjoyed my time in there!

If you’re looking for a professional bike fitting to make sure you’re performing at your best while feeling as comfortable as can be and avoid injury? I cannot recommend Brian enough. I was in desperate need for a fitting after purchasing my first triathlon bike, 1 month ahead of my next race. Brian was able to get find me an appointment on short notice, and made his magic work. All I can say is that I felt super at ease in aero position (a first for me) and had the best time racing! The fitting was the opportunity to get a couple important additional recommendations, both “essential” (such as adding custom bike shoe soles, made a huge difference in my specific case) and “nice to have” (changing crank size). All notes were captured in a super comprehensive email report. All this done without ever feeling rushed. Thank you Brian !
Noah Kim
Brian is amazing to work with! This was my first bike fitting experience and I am glad I ended up at Paragon Fit! The session was very fun as Brian is super knowledgeable and just fun to work with. He was able to help me fit my bike to my body, now my bike fits like a glove! He even sent a few stretching recommendations in the report. If you’re on the fence I highly recommend working with Brian!

While the process is complex, the goal is not: Comfort. Over the years I've found that comfort is key allowing my clients to focus on more important matters like the adventure, enjoying the moments with your fellow cyclists, beating your friends back to the trailhead so you can get that 'cold one', developing your aerobic/anaerobic capacity, pushing your VO2 Max, making up some lost time from the swim (my tri folks). Regardless of your cycling path, I'm here to help. While I do incorporate minimal technology I find the holistic hands-on approach from Specialized Body Geometry Fit (Certified in 2013) method consistently nets amazing results for my customers through assessment, adjustment, evaluation and practice. If you're committed and care about a better cycling experience, lets make it happen together! --Happy Miles, Brian
