Bike Fit by Coach Brinton

Roman T.

Coach Brinton noticed flaws in my riding posture and immediately helped me correct it. I asked a lot of questions and he took the time and care to explain things to me in a way that was easy to understand. My bike fit was very educational and I got a lot out of it. I feel much more confident and stronger. Highly recommended.

Paula F.

The fitting was thorough and informative. Coach Brinton took the time to explain everything he did and why. He asked appropriate questions to make adjustments to my needs. He even evaluated my riding style and made suggestions. At the end of my fitting, he gave me a sheet with measurement information and suggestions. Coach Brinton is an experienced rider who understands bikes, bike issues, and injuries. He was personable and easy to talk to.

Renard T.

My wife and I decided to invest in quality bikes, and understanding the importance of a proper bike fit, I began my search for the best in the area. Coach Brinton consistently stood out in my research, and after a few phone calls with various fitters, his expertise and professionalism won me over. I can’t emphasize enough how pleased we are with the information and recommendations he provided. Well worth what we paid, and would say it’s a bargain for all the benefits we experienced. His professionalism, intelligence, and genuine concern for your cycling goals make him stand out in the field. If you’re looking for a top-notch bike fit experience, I highly recommend Coach Brinton.

If you’re an enthusiastic beginner wanting to take your game to the next level, I absolutely recommend Coach Brinton!  Not only will you get an expertly dialed in fit, but CB will evaluate any problems you may be having and make precise adjustments and recommendations accordingly.  Furthermore, his approach of educating his clients for the long run really makes his sessions a valuable learning experience.  I undoubtedly walked away from our session, not only with greater comfort on the bike, but feeling more informed in multiple areas of the sport than ever before.  There’s no substitute for a professional with the years and kinds of experience he has!  Thank you Coach Brinton!

Robb P.

David was amazing and not only was he an extreme expert, he actually cared and was so passionate about what he did. I spent a couple of hours with him, and he didn’t stop until everything was perfect – Unbelievable experience and value!

Angelina F.

I had little success with the many other fitters I have tried to the point I did not want to get back on the bike. I felt that no matter how many re-fits I had I could not get comfortable on the bike. Coach Brinton took so much time and care with each measurement. I felt very important and heard throughout the process. I left feeling renewed and wanting to ride again. Who knew that bike fit like this would be all it took to light the fire again. I will for sure recommend Coach Brinton to anyone that asks me about bike fittings. He truly went above any of my expectations. So kind and attentive.

Kevin O.

After many years off from riding competitively, I am riding again.  I sought a bike fit for injury prevention and to increase power. I’ve been fit quite a few times, and this was the best experience I’ve ever had. Coach Brinton first learns about your riding history, goals, and is very systematic and thorough.  His vast knowledge oozes out. I also scheduled skills sessions, and even with many years of riding under my belt, I learned techniques that had an immediate performance impact.  Lastly, in our modern world where personal relationships seem to be less important, Coach Brinton is a genuinely great guy who cares about his riders and takes every bike fit and training ride seriously and strives to do his best. When you enter Coach Brinton’s studio and see the World Championship Jerseys and medals you know you are the presence of greatness.

Sara C.

Coach Brinton can do everything — fitting, competition, knee rehab, efficiency, safety, parts, etc. It’s awesome to know he can tackle anything that comes up. I don’t want to have to run all over town to get comprehensive cycling advice.

Esau Z.

I am Deaf cyclist and have had a hard time finding people willing to adapt and work with me. When I first arrived at Coach Brinton’s performance center, I let him know that I am Deaf, he welcomed me with a big smile and immediately accommodated the whole bike fitting experience for me.  He used speak-to-text feature to explain me everything. He didn’t leave a detail behind. After learning so much and having my bike adjusted, he really made my bike so much more comfortable.  Due to some old injuries, my chiropractor suggested I get a professional bike fitting to make riding even more comfortable.  Not knowing anything about bike fitting, I googled it and found Coach Brinton.  At first I was intimidated because I’m not a competitive cyclist, I’m just an average person. However, he had good reviews, so I took a chance.

Sarah P.

Coach Brinton was very warm from the first email, and from the start of the fitting he never made me feel like I didn’t belong there. He listened to my concerns and spent a couple hours with me, going over all the mechanics of my riding, as well as fitting the bike. I know that if I ever need assistance in the future, his door is open and I wouldn’t hesitate to reach out to him again.

John G.

I’m mid 50s, overweight, very average rider, and found Coach Brinton on the web when looking for a good fitting. I have always been a bit wary of bike fit guys at local shops who don’t have cycling accomplishments and may be helping me out of a textbook, rather than experience.  Coach Brinton has plenty of experience. We spent a couple hours talking, fitting the bike, discussing various issues, and riding together all for the same price or lower than my local shop. The best part is the detailed fitting sheet I now have to set up my future bikes.  After the fitting, I am more comfortable, feel more efficient, and my commute time to work is better. It’s amazing what a centimeter here and there changes how your bike feels.  If you are looking for a good fitting or cycling coach, you’ll be happy with Coach Brinton.

Parker L.

Coach David is not only a genuinely good person, he’s also a VERY experienced rider/stunt man. He has great command over riding a bike and he also has a great command of being able to explain how to be a better/faster/safer rider. He’s able to mimic what you are doing wrong, so it’s like looking in the mirror. His method allows you to fix your posture and correct yourself. If you need a bike fit or want to improve your experience on a bike, then you need coach David in your life.

Argin H.

Coach Brinton is very knowledgeable and takes his time with his clientele. He is very patient and thorough and wants to get to the root cause of your issues and pain points. Although he doesn’t use any fancy computers to do his bike fits, his methods are proven and it’s apparent after going on a few rides after our session. He even takes the time to follow up with you a few days post-fit to make sure the changes he has made have had a positive impact on your performance and comfort.

Steve C.

I was having serious neck and shoulder issues and went to Coach Brinton for a bike fit. During my first call, he fielded all my questions. His enthusiasm for cycling and educating riders was apparent.  During the fitting, he was extremely generous with his time and not only adjusted all aspects of my bike and shoes, but also provided important feedback on my riding posture and pedal strokes. I was so pleased with the personal attention, I scheduled a training ride to work on my skills. Brinton raised my comfort level in difficult situations (car doors opening, tight u-turns, and handling dangerous traffic situations).  I’ve been riding for about 3 years and some riding tips from an experienced and decorated professional racer is exactly what I needed. I’ll be back for more, as his enthusiasm for cycling and safety is contagious.

Ed P.

Had a Comprehensive Fitting for my brand new bike yesterday. Coach Brinton is very experienced and explained every reason for each adjustment on and off the bike… right now the bike feels super awesome. With just a few tweaks made me feel more comfortable, more confident, and now I know my ideal measurements. I also got recommendation for upgrades that would make me most efficient and how to best work on my pedaling technique. He is also a skills coach so he is a wealth on information and very friendly too. I highly recommend Coach Brinton!

Donald W.

It was a pleasure to meet with Coach Dave for my fitting, he corrected all the issues I was experiencing as a new cyclist and answered all my naive questions. He was very patient and detailed during the whole process. I would recommend Dave to all new and experienced cyclists. I am looking forward to scheduling additional skills/training sessions with Dave to enhance my cycling IQ.

Chris H.

I wanted my new bike to be tailored perfectly to my needs, and that’s when I met Coach Brinton, a highly respected figure in the cycling community. From the moment we met, he showed a genuine interest in getting to know me as a cyclist and understanding my goals. With his unparalleled expertise and guidance, he helped me reach my full potential by carefully adjusting every bike part to fit me perfectly. Coach Brinton’s unwavering dedication and infectious smile made every step feel like a shared victory. His eagle-eyed attention to detail helped me identify even the slightest issues that could improve my performance. When I first sat on the saddle after Coach Brinton’s magical touch, the difference was like night and day. Thanks to him, I had an unforgettable experience that has left me more passionate about cycling than ever before.

Andrew B.

As an avid rider with a busy schedule, and a bike fitting by a professional was highly recommended to insure proper alignment and improve structural integrity.  He is a reliable source, easy to talk to, and was immediately able to put me where I need to be.  His instincts and passion are two important values that improved my riding.  He combines modern equipment with years of experience and knowledge.  Five things come to mind after my fitting: 1) Confidence level high knowing he put knowledge into my symmetry; 2) Seat position is so perfect, my body never once looked for an alternative position; 3) No more foot numbness or neck strain; 4) Major improvement in descending without having to constantly adjust my body position; 5) Less fatigue climbing due to better awareness of pedal stroke. If you need a bike fitting, I highly recommend Coach Brinton.

Jeremy R.

In the past, I have had a few bike fittings but nothing quite like Cycling Coach Brinton’s bike fitting. Just within a few moments of meeting coach Britain, I knew I found the right person. His attention to detail his insight, knowledge and the way he went about educating me and explaining  why he was making certain changes made me feel extremely comfortable.  After my first ride I had no pain in my knees and felt  like I could have gone another 50 miles without stopping. Coach Brinton did tell me I was wearing  one size shoe too big. ( I have since corrected that issue). If you’re looking to increase your skills, safety knowledge, speed or just want to get more comfortable on the bike Coach Brinton is the Coach for you.

Leah B.

When you want to learn how to do something you want to learn from the best. David Brinton is your man. This guy has lived a life of cycling and has competed at the highest levels of the sport, yet he treats you as a peer, with patience, and without the slightest bit of condescending attitudes. Particularly as a woman who doesn’t have he body type of a typical cyclist, that meant a lot to me. I came to him for a bike fit, I will be returning for some skills and pro tips. Very grateful to have found David Brinton.

D R.

Coach Brinton is awesome! I recently purchased a new bike for a 500 mile charity ride. As a former triathlete, I understand how important bike fitting is for any level rider and how critical it would be for a ride of this length. Coach Brinton not only was very thorough at every stage of the process, he also took the time to explain what he was trying to achieve. As a bonus he gave me tips on riding posture, nutrition, and some training tips that proved to be a major breakthrough in my performance!

Dr. PJ Pati.

I chose Coach David Brinton to help me with my new “fitting” and “building my custom bike!” Reading the articles/testimonials/services especially his experiences and expertise, I knew my Concerns will be addressed by the “Right” person.  The fitting went well, and my back, knee, and my posture felt and looks great!  Went back for a second session to determine measurements for my Custom bike. What impressed me is, when he spent the TIME talking to my builder personally and “fine-tuned” ALL the “numbers” for my custom bike! It didn’t stop there because I had some concerns which he unconditionally answered thru email and phone calls – that is Customer SERVICE at its BEST!  To me, $ well spent !!!  I’m looking forward on my next session with Coach David to improve on my pedaling skills, form, etc. David – Thank you !!!

Angie M.

Cycling Coach Brinton is a great teacher!  I am (or should I say was) a novice rider.  We started with a bike fitting, then immediately after Coach Brinton taught me how to clip in and out of pedals more effectively while riding so I won’t fall, as well as riding techniques for more safety on the street.  Although he packed a serious amount of information in those few hours, I was constantly impressed that he was very patient and funny.  He reworked explanations until I understood and interjected a great sense of humor so that the time seemed to fly by.  I thought I was just going to do that one session to learn a bit and be on my way. Not anymore, I’ve got a cycling coach now!  Book a session with Coach Brinton, you will only get better!!

Michael B.

After an 8-year hiatus from riding a triathlon bike, I wanted to make sure I found a bike fitter that would maximize my speed, safety, and comfort on my new bike. I feel very fortunate in having a fitting from Coach Brinton. He not only gave me a fitting, but also explained every aspect of why he made the adjustments and suggestions throughout the process. As an example, he made a small but significant modification to my bar taping that I never would’ve come up with on my own or had never heard or seen before. This attention to detail and personalization is why I will return to him to have my road bike adjusted soon and hope to schedule some skills sessions.

Timothy L.

Coach Brinton took the time to ensure my bike was properly fit, having get on and off a few times to measure the accuracy of the adjustments. After my first fitting, I was surprised how even small adjustments improved my comfort when riding. This is easily the most inexpensive purchase to significantly improve your comfort and performance.

Sara C.

A year ago, I did a very expensive fitting at Bike Effect, but Coach Brinton’s fitting was much better. I was just more comfortable on the bike after his fitting. He pointed out a lot of little mistakes they had made. Not only did I like his bike fitting better, I had a completely different understanding of what a bike should feel like.

Aaron S.

I have been riding a long time, and for the past few years I did not feel 100% comfortable. I’m getting older and I didn’t want to risk an injury that will keep me off my bike. I contacted Coach Brinton for a bike fit.  It ended up being an extremely informative fitting and Coach Brinton took time to listen and explain every setting, adjustment and the pros and cons.  At the end of the fitting, I signed up for skills session to work on my pedaling technique. I highly recommend using Coach Brinton!!!!

Elton S.

To get fitted properly, I used Cycling Coach Brinton, and he did a great job. My bike was not feeling comfortable during my long rides. David used his experienced background to fit me perfectly. By the end of the fitting, I felt very comfortable. I went for a small ride, and I liked my new bike fit. I felt immediately better, and I had a better feel for the bike.

Gary N.

Coach Brinton is the best! He fit my last two bikes and as I’ve said to others, I won’t ride without first being fit by David. I’ve been riding less than 10 years, but I’ve come to appreciate how he makes me feel on my bike. If you experience any discomfort during your ride, you owe it to yourself to see Coach Brinton.

Michael S.

I have been riding bikes for a long time (mostly mtn biking and commuting) and recently got into road biking. I watched some YouTube videos to try to fit my bike by myself, but I was not able to achieve a fit that felt good: I did not feel like my sit bones were properly supported, and I regularly had wrist pain and numbness. After Brinton’s fit, I am a lot more excited for cycling as my bike is so much more comfortable and stable. I think it is worth paying a professional to help, and I highly recommend Coach Brinton.

Josh M.

Best Bike Fitter out there! David was super helpful in every way possible. He walked me through what he was changing and how it affected my body and taught me how to pedal on the bike properly! I learned so much and feel 1000% more comfortable on my bike due to his great fitting.

Chayuth S.

I had an incredible bike fitting experience with Coach David. He not only helped me find the perfect fit for my bike, but also taught me valuable riding techniques and basic bike maintenance. I highly recommend his services to anyone looking to optimize their comfort while riding.

Larry Y.

Coach Brinton is not just an excellent bike fitter but also an extraordinary coach with impeccable skillset and knowledge. I started cycling 3 months ago and after only 5 skills sessions, I am already able to ride with speed  and confidence.  I am also attending group rides such as Montrose and Rapha. As a first time cyclist, my form, skill and performance have all improved within such a short period of time.  Collectively, Brinton’s patience, professionalism, training, and skills coaching made a huge difference. I highly recommend Coach Brinton for his immense passion and unmatched expertise in cycling.

Adrian D.

Fantastic experience getting my gravel and mountain bike fitted by David, as well as two pairs of shoes. David is highly skilled and very efficient at what he does. He is very personable and eager to share his vast knowledge of cycling. He provided me with a written summary of all my measurements and instructed me on future adjustments. Riding the following day, I noticed an immediate improvement in power and more efficient muscle recruitment and improved position. Rode with a huge smile on my face.

Raffi B.

I had a comprehensive bike fit with Coach Brinton and the difference has been night and day! The changes were immediately noticeable and probably the best money I’ve spent in cycling for the performance increase.  David is a true professional with a genuine love for the sport. He’s a source of incredible knowledge and experience.  I’m fortunate to have been referred to his services and will definitely meet with him for future bikes/accessories.

Benjamin K.

I was fitted by Coach Brinton last Thursday and could not be more impressed and grateful for the experience. He is immensely knowledgeable when it comes to the bicycle fitting process and cycling in general.  He is also extremely kind and just a great human being to be around. I went for a ride after my fitting yesterday and felt an immediate difference in power, comfort, and smoothness. I cannot recommend Coach Brinton enough. If you’re serious about cycling, do yourself a favor and pay Coach Britton a visit. Thanks again David!

Peter K.

I was skeptical whether someone at a beginner skill level would benefit from a professional bike fit and man was I wrong. Coach Brinton immediately pinpointed the cause of my discomfort.  He showed me exactly how my previous fit wasn’t allowing my legs to work efficiently. The difference after the fit was night and day, especially with power and bike handling. More importantly, I feel confident on my bike and haven’t experienced lower back discomfort since. Really happy I found Coach Brinton and recommend his bike fit.

R J.

Came for the fit, stayed for the coaching. After months grazing YouTube, I decided I needed a proper bike fit before getting into serious triathlon training. My goals were simple: a proper fit, guidance on form, and suggestions for next steps. Coach Brinton not only carefully inquired about details relevant to my goals, he anticipated follow up questions.  He was observant during the entire fit and showed care and interest when providing specific adjustments.  He offered clear instructions to further improve my experience. Brinton’s fitting translated into improvements I could see in numbers as my average speed went from 12.3 to 15.1 mph.  He even mentioned that would happen. Also, his enthusiasm for cycling comes across naturally. He loves what he does and cares about what I’m thinking and feeling. He provides clarity about how to get the most out of my bike.

Chris M.

I was looking for a coach to take my cycling to the next level and was lucky to find Coach Brinton. I’ve been amazed to see all the small and big areas of improvement I have experienced after the adjustments to my bike.  In addition to the cycling techniques, riding form, and skills coaching.  I am amazed at how much better I feel on the bike from both a comfort and performance standpoint after David’s fitting and skills sessions. It’s great to get instruction from someone with so much knowledge – from body mechanics to racing strategy. I highly recommend Coach Brinton. If you’re looking to step up your game with top tier cycling coaching or even if you just need an improved bike fit.

Kevin W.

Coach Brinton really took the time to explain everything he was doing while going through my bike fit. He even had me work on my bike with him so I would know how to make tweaks in the future. After the fitting I decided to meet with Brinton for coaching and what a great experience that was. We worked on bike handling, rider safety, and out of the saddle climbing. I cannot say enough about my experience.

Ed P.

If you are looking for a bike fitter to address issues/discomfort you are having, contact Brinton right away! He addressed the many issues I was having, including numb hands, sore butt, and numb toes. The fitting was thorough and all my questions were answered.  He also provided me with valuable advice to make my riding  much more enjoyable! I now routinely ride 2-3 hours without any issues I had previously!

Michael R.

Great experience with Coach Brinton’s service from scheduling the appointment to the quality of the service. I took two bikes to him to have fitted.  No more numb hands or sore back. Less effort needed on climbs. Overall, it was a huge improvement. Thank you!

Indrek M.

After many years of knee and ankle pain, I finally came to my senses and had my new bike properly fitted by Coach Brinton. Worth the investment 100%!  My legs feel stronger and no knee or ankle pain since I got fitted. He has a really nice fitting setup and also helped me with great tips on my riding form. I can already see measurable difference in just a few weeks. I really think it’s a must to fit your bike to prevent injury and become stronger rider. Thank you Coach!

Aubrey S.

Coach Brinton helped my fiancé tremendously! I got him a fitting for his birthday since he was complaining about discomfort and pain on longer rides. Coach Brinton was extremely friendly and knowledgeable and immediately diagnosed some major problems with his bike set up! After the fit, he has said how much more comfortable he was, and the huge difference in his workouts. Highly recommend Coach Brinton!  Also, his fitting makes a fantastic birthday gift!

Victoria C.

I came to see Coach Brinton after suffering injury on the bike from a bad prior fitting. He gave me excellent insight into why I was injured in the first place. Also he gave me some valuable riding and training tips to get over my injury faster. He was really clear and patient with all of his explanations and the goal was to get me riding again. Overall a great experience and will be following up for pedaling mechanics and other skills sessions in the future.

Peter Z.

Coach Brinton is the real deal!  He takes great care to make sure your bike fit is perfectly suited to your body. Also, he spends time talking about how each measurement and adjustment will affect your riding and posture. Brinton taught me so many ways to increase my efficiency as a rider.  His super helpful teachings included pedaling mechanics, climbing to conserve energy, and working on cadence. I just completed a 550-mile trek. My fit was so perfect I had no pain, no knee issues, no hand numbness. It was a miracle, honestly! In the past, I’ve suffered many physical pains from this ride.  Coach Brinton is an expert in bike fitting, and I couldn’t recommend him more. I will continue to go back for future fittings and send all my friends to him!

R M.

Brinton is a true professional. Before I came to him my wrist, back, and knees were hurting (tendonitis in both knees)! Turns out my bike was just fitted poorly. I was extremely impressed with his fitting process and knowledge. During the fitting, you can see your power/watts increase.  What I like the most is that he had years of experience and he’s integrating that into his judgment calls. I trust someone who says “I have seen this over and over again and here’s how it usually works.”  Rather than some young person who’s just going by the book. He’s also concerned with safety v. the young muscle heads who just want to make you fast. If you’re into cycling for the long haul, get a fitting and some skills sessions with Coach B.

Ernest P.

Coach David is a knowledgeable, focused, and a precise bike fitter. After the fitting, my back pain has dissipated on long bike rides. During the fitting, he provided useful biking techniques including out of the saddle control, using clipless pedals for the first time, and street safety. I noticed improvements immediately after the fitting. From my perspective, David is extremely encouraging and passionate about his profession of cycling.

Bryan M.

Cycling Coach Brinton did a great job to get me back on the bike after I had a case of patellar tendonitis.  Brinton’s professional bike fitting ensured that my bike set-up was optimized to minimize knee stress.  The quality time he spent with me on techniques and pedaling efficiency will ensure my knee health. I have had other bike fits, and this one was by far the most personal and educational. I highly recommend Coach Brinton to keep you healthy and active on the bike for years to come.

Daniel V.

Coach Brinton helped me with a bike fit due to excessive back pain. Another fitter recommended a smaller frame but after Brinton observed me, and to my relief, my frame was correct. He concluded that my posture was off and combined with a proper fit, I felt better almost instantly. Immediately following the fitting, he took me out for a short ride.  He evaluated the fit and my posture, in addition to providing me with some skills to work on. He was extremely patient and detailed. I would highly recommend him to others for bike ft and coaching.

Kelly M.

I started cycling more regularly and started having this knee pain all the time. When I was done riding my knees felt like I had arthritis when sitting down and standing up. Other people I was riding with said maybe it’s just your joints and you need to not ride as much. I messed around with seat height and other adjustments myself but nothing helped.  I found Coach Brinton and scheduled a fitting. Wow, he was so nice and spent a little over 3 hours with me.  We talked about the causes for my knee pain and did a lot of adjustments. I can’t believe how much better it feels. Coach Brinton is extremely patient and helpful. I now realize there’s so much more to cycling than just getting on the bike and pedaling.  I will soon be signing up for skills sessions!

Rory P.

A few years ago, I thought I had what was a proper (and expensive) bike fitting. Recently, I developed Achilles tendon pain which I traced to my cycling. On a whim I searched for the best bike fitters in Los Angeles and came upon Coach Brinton. His bio spoke to me. After meeting David, our in-person fitting session more than complimented his bio.  His communication, diagnosis, and proposed corrections aligned with the issues I was having. The fitting session was enjoyable and rewarding. I immediately had improvement on my speed, efficiency, and Achilles pain. It was so nice to feel that my positioning on the bike was so right!  If you need a truly proper bike fitting Coach David is the ticket.

Dennis S.

My bike fitting session with Coach Brinton was excellent!  I was experiencing some nagging knee pain and lower back fatigue. I was also hitting a wall at +40-mile rides where my quads would be completely fried. David was kind, patient, and extremely knowledgeable and answered all my questions. He did an incredibly thorough evaluation of my current position. After saddle, handlebars, cleats, and shifter adjustment, I am now riding pain free in my lower back and knees. David also provided a very detailed report capturing my new measurements for future reference. Everything feels amazing, and I feel like I’m able to generate 20% or more power with no additional effort. Thank you David!!

Sam K.

I had my first fit with David in 2019. He solved ALL of my problems (groin pain, wrist numbness, knee pain) on my Cervelo S5 and helped me enjoy riding again. When that bike was stolen, I was more upset about losing the perfect fit than the bike itself! I made another appointment with David for a fit on my new gravel bike. Again, David got everything perfectly dialed for me. I won’t ride a bike that David hasn’t fit for me. Anyone – even a casual cyclist – can really benefit from his help. David is also a great guy – professional, easy to talk to, and very honest. He won’t upsell you on parts and will try and make your fit work with what you have. I can’t recommend him more highly.

Meekrobe M.

Let me say everything was as I expected. I got my road bike and mtn bike dialed in by coach Brinton. My road bike is 13 years old and was experiencing some pain riding. After his tweaking of my bike, it made a world of a difference. Coach was detailed and meticulous about all the angles. And it made a world of a difference. After getting my bike fitted, I did a 3 day 300 mile ride with no pain. I rode like it was tour de France.

Michael S.

Coach Brinton was very thorough during the fitting and made sure to explain each of the adjustments to me. I feel a lot more stable on the bike and no longer experience wrist pain and numbness in my fingers. Coach Brinton also fixed other problems with my fit that I was not aware of.  Such as cleat adjustment, including widening my stance with washers on the pedal spindles to move my feet outward.

David J.

I had been having some knee issues which the fitting totally addressed and I’m feeling much better on my weekly 50+ mi rides up into the San Gabriels.

Ryan R.

Setting up the bike fit appointment was very easy as Coach Brinton was quick to respond and available on short notice. I had no idea my bike dimensions were far out of wack, which was likely contributing to ongoing knee pain. David made sure my saddle height, angle, cleats position, and every other possible adjustment were set up optimally up to the millimeter. David was tremendously helpful throughout the bike fit session.  He provided many tips and knowledge on optimizing performance, posture, and other fine details that never thought about. He even provided pointers on general fitness and weight lifting form to help prevent injuries off the bike.

Randy S.

I am preparing for a long distance ride to benefit a charity.  My first training rides resulted in back pain.  I contacted Coach Brinton to schedule a bike fit, and we were able to meet a few days later.  He took the time to understand my level of experience, as well as my goal to reduce my back pain with the bike fit.  His detailed fitting process coordinated my current cycling abilities and pains to the perfect fit settings.  Coach Brinton even offered tips on avoiding pain during my rides. After my fitting, I have been on several longer training rides, and it made a world of difference.  I am riding stronger and pain free.  I recommend Coach Brinton to anyone in need of a bike fit.

Paul N.

Great experience with Coach Brinton. Super professional, extremely knowledgeable. Was having knee problems with my new bike and turned out the fit was causing a heavy load on my patella. Got the bike dialed in now, and I am back on track with a perfectly fit bike. Will be going back for further pedaling mechanics and probably more skills sessions very soon!

Daniel N.

Coach Brinton gave me by far the best bike fit I’ve ever had. I feel great, and it actually helped take away a lot of pain points I was having on the bike. On top of being very professional, he handled the fitting in a very sanitary way with social distancing. Highly recommend!

Jonathan S.

I first came to Cycling Coach Brinton for a bike fitting, but soon realized he had a lot more to offer. His fitting eliminated my back and calf pain. Then, in the few skills sessions I’ve had, he managed to make my pedal stroke a great deal more efficient. I’m looking forward to more skills sessions and through his extensive knowledge and direction, becoming a much better cyclist.

David S.

Coach Brinton is a bike fitting master. To prepare for a charity endurance ride, I began working with Coach Brinton in order. I had no experience and hadn’t ridden much since childhood. I had a store fitting when I purchased the bike, but after a few weeks I experienced knee pain.  Brinton radically altered my positioning which improved my knee situation immensely. As I continued with additional coaching over the next three months, I was agile and confident on the bike. I rode three centuries in three days, and I never would have finished without David’s coaching.

Gaurav M.

For many years, I have been working with Coach David Brinton. I came to David at a point when I was riding with injuries and in a lot of pain. I started with a bike fit, then learned pedaling mechanics, riding strategies to alleviate my knee pain more quickly. Little did I know that the way I was pedaling and training was much of the reason for my knee pain. Once pain free, I decided to race. David taught me many technical skills, such as pedaling mechanics, and numerous mountain bike skills including jumping, sliding, manuals, and bunny hops to improve my riding. What I also appreciate is that when I need answers or to tweak my routine, Brinton was always easily accessible.
