🚀 Unlock Your Full Cycling Potential with AiFitting
Proper bike fit is crucial for comfort, injury prevention, and maximizing power output. AiFitting brings professional-grade motion analysis to your home using advanced AI technology. Here is how to get the most out of it.
Step 1: Record Your High-Quality Video 🎥
Quality input equals quality output. To get accurate joint measurements, follow these recording tips:
- Stationary Trainer: Mount your bike on a trainer. This ensures you can pedal consistently without moving around.
- Camera Position: Place your camera (or phone) on a stable surface or tripod. It should be:
- Parallel to the bike.
- At hip height.
- About 3-4 meters away to capture your full body and bike.
- Lighting: Ensure the room is well-lit. Avoid strong backlighting (like recording in front of a bright window).
- Clothing: Wear tight-fitting cycling kit. Loose clothing can obscure your joints, making it harder for the AI to detect your anatomical points accurately.
Step 2: Choose Your Analysis Mode ⚙️
AiFitting offers two specialized modes:
Side Analysis
This is best for setting your saddle height and setback. It tracks these critical angles:
- Knee Angle: Crucial for power and knee health.
- Hip Angle: Affects aerodynamics and lower back comfort.
- Back Angle: Determines your aggressive or relaxed stance.
- Elbow Angle: Indicates your reach and handlebar position.
Frontal Analysis
This focuses on vertical alignment. Use this to check if your knees are tracking straight or collapsing inward/outward while pedaling, which is vital for preventing long-term injuries.
Step 3: Upload and Analyze 💻
- Upload: Simply drag and drop your video file into the designated area on the Analysis Page. The tool accepts most common video formats.
- Auto-Detection: The system will automatically detect the video orientation and switch to the correct mode.
- Select Parameters: Choose your Bike Type (Road, Mountain, TT) and Riding Style (Competitive vs. Leisure). This adjusts the target reference ranges to match your specific needs.
Step 4: Interpret Your Results 📊
Once processed, you will see a real-time skeleton overlay on your riding video.
- 🟢 Green Indicators: Your angles are within the optimal range.
- 🟠/🔴 Orange/Red Indicators: You may need to make adjustments.
- Data Panel: View dynamic max/min angles for each joint and compare them against professional standards.
Step 5: Adjust and Iterate 🔄
Bike fitting is an iterative process. If your saddle is too low (knee angle too small), raise it slightly and re-analyze. Small changes can make a huge difference in how you feel 100km into a ride.
