Sizing Jig ?
Quote | Reply
Can anybody please help identify this sizing jig? I would like to purchase one.

I know that some mechanics make their own, but cyclingnews notes that "several other teams use the same model", so I figure that they are from a particular company.

Thank you in advance.

many varieties of this exist, mostly in Europe. Seen some that are homemade by the team mechanic.
They are not used for bike fitting, just for the mechanic to quickly and efficiently set up a bike for a rider (or set up thirty bikes for an entire team)

For fitting, you are correct. This is a sizing jig.

Big difference.

Most shops, in my experience, 'size' bikes. Few actually 'fit' them.

We have a self made aluminum floor board with adjustable wheel holders. Then we use a self made aluminum T-jig with an adjustable level to measure handle bar reach and saddle set back. Works really well and does only require some purchases at the hardware store
