Hypercat Racing Bike Fit



Professional Bike Fit Specialist, Coach Phil Casanta.
Coach Phil
and Hypercat Racing has been voted 
"Best Bike Fit" in City Sports magazine's annual "Best of the Bay" 2003.
Coach Phil has over 14 years of bike fit experience.  Other top industry experts and fit specialists seek the expertise of Coach Phil for their own personal fits. Phil regularly fits cyclists of all skill levels. His easy to understand manner and explanations make him especially popular for athletes just getting into the sport. 
Professional cyclists and triathletes regularly call upon Coach Phil to fine tune their fits, where other 'fit experts' have failed.
Why a Bike Fit?
How will I benefit from my professional bike fitting?
Athletes of all levels have the same basic challenge.  Comfort.  If you are not comfortable, chances are you will most likely not enjoy riding your bike, which will almost certainly ensure that you do not ride your bike. If you are neither riding nor comfortable then it will become all but impossible to become efficient as a cyclist.  Speed, power, hill climbing, cornering, etc� all rely on the riders ability to be efficient. A professional fit addresses the elements of comfort and efficiency by assessing your entire biomechanical position.  From cleat placement and foot alignment to shoulder width and pelvic rotation each athlete is assessed on their flexibility, experience, training/ racing goals, anatomical measurements, usage, weekly mileage, and technique.  By incorporating these and other elements each athlete is then positioned on their bike to maximize their power/ wattage, control, comfort, balance and efficiency.  

Athletes will also learn valuable lessons on pedaling mechanics, anatomical relationships to riding position, proper habits and techniques for quality riding and racing, as well as any other lessons (as necessary) for proper cycling.  As a coach, fit expert (over 14 years experience), industry expert, magazine product reviewer, former professional cyclist/ duathlete, and industry consultant, Coach Phil is uniquely qualified to answer, diagnose, and address your cycling questions.
