I am a competitive cyclist and had previously gotten by adjusting my own fit. Going into off-season training, however, I felt I could benefit from a professional bike fit to maximize my gains on the trainer during the winter. Adam came recommended to me, and I am so happy I booked an appointment. I gained 10 watts in 10 minutes from just a seat adjustment alone. Adam also provided wedges for my cleats, which allow my feet to more naturally complete the pedal stroke. The performance gains are tangible. Adam will work with your goals to optimize comfort and performance. I will be recommending Adam to other cyclists in the Chicago area.
I’ve been to many bike shops in Chicago and this is now my go-to spot. Got a bike fit (plus a free follow-up!) and have never felt better and more efficient on a bike. I also purchased a new saddle and Adam was very accommodating and helpful with that process as well. Highly recommended!
Tweaked the fitting of my bike with Adam recently and cannot be happier. I was actually down sold from doing the full fit to just the trainer fit and the positive results of the fit were felt immediately. Adam pointed out the spots where the fit were still great from my last fitting in 2017 in Montréal (cleats, stem change, shifter angle) and where it needed tweaking (saddle position and the saddle itself). I also broke a spoke on my way to the shop so it was fixed as well and the wheel is now super-true.Would totally recommend this shop to anyone that need a fitting or work done on their bike.
Adam at Peregrine is the guy to see for a real-deal, pro-level bike fit. He’s a physiology guru, fitting people for decades, who knows all the nuance of a top-tier fitting. This ain’t your Mom & Pop bike shop fit. Go see Adam if you want to be serious about your fit.I’ve been riding 7000+ miles a year for more than 20 years and my bikes never fit as well as it does now after Adam set me up.
For any serious cyclist this should be your go-to shop for bike fits, advice, and maintenance. These guys are awesome. I had a full fit recently with Adam who was able to quickly diagnose and solve some long standing issues with my knee alignment (after 2 other fits he was the first to suggest wedges). With some quick adjustments to cleats, stem, and new handlebars it is like I have a new bike and saw an immediate improvement in power numbers and comfort. During pickup they even noticed my derailleur hanger was slightly bent which Saj quickly straightened out no prob. Cant recommend these guys enough for anything bike related.
Best place in town to get a tune-up. Saj is incredibly thorough and did a great job pinpointing and fixing everything wrong with the drivetrain on my old commuter bike, which everyone else missed. Quick service and reasonably priced. Highly recommend!
Had a bike fit and later a further new bike adjustment to match.I have never felt so comfortable and well positioned on a bike as I do now. Great experience, patient, knowledgeable and some great advice.Thx
I had a fantastic bike fitting experience with Adam. I left feeling as though I had just purchased a new bike. Having done a few rides since the fitting, I can safely say that the adjustments have improved my speed and eliminated a few minor injuries I had been experiencing beforehand. Thanks!
Very impressive. Adam is very knowledgeable person who spend over an hour with me, performing measurements and explaining whole process step by step. Their customer service is amazing and I cant wait to get my new bike.
Adam spent over an hour with me doing a fitting.I was immediately more comfortable, more efficient and generating farmore power on each pedal stroke, so i can ride farther, faster with less effort...feels like i have a new bike!If you’re thinking about getting a fitting, and want a place that will do a great job without trying to sell you gear you don’t need, this is the place to go!
No one in Chicago can do a bike fit like Adam! I was bummed when Get a Grip closed --- and now super glad that Peregrine is here.
I booked an appointment for a new bike fit with Adam, and every part of the experience was top notch. From the first time I called the shop at the beginning of my search for a new mountain bike to the fit and bike selection process. Adam even made adjustments to my position on my current road bike at no extra cost. These guys really go the extra mile, the best bike shop experience I have had in a long time. Chapeau Adam & Saj!
Great Bike Fit! I recommend!
A friend referred me to Adam at Peregrine Bike Studio, and I am so happy he did. I just purchased a new road bike in September after years of riding a hand-me-down that was three sizes too small.Adam walked me through the entire fitting process, explaining every measurement and adjustment he made. He even took the time show me how my paddle shifters worked, talked me through the different gears and eased my hesitation of using clipless pedals.After the fitting, the bike felt light, compliant and comfortable. I broke it in with a very hilly 50-mile ride and the bike performed beautifully. I highly recommend a fitting from Adam.
Purchased my shoes from Adam. The shop seems to be catered to performance cycling. Which is A+. Customer policies are A+. (1 person at a time, appointments) Adam seemed biomechanically focused and sound in his shoe fitting advice. We needed a studio style shop in chicago. Let’s give these guys a chance to show us they can deliver that. So far so good.
Just got a flat while I was in the area and stopped by. Saj took care of it in less than 10 min. I hear they have great fitting at this shop as well. Definitely would recommend coming in.
Obtained a second opinion on a bike fit on new road bike. Adam corrected the fit issues from the outset. For any serious cyclists, this is a go-to place.
Great service. Make an appointment and drop your bike at the front door. very nice job bike returned in clean and in perfect working order. Thanks Guys.
My go to shop in Chicago from bar tape to tune ups to bike fits. Saj is one of the best mechanics in the city. You cant go wrong with getting a pro bike fit from Adam. Keep crushing it!
Both Adam and Saj understand the process of making a fun sport, even more fun, by conducting the analysis and providing the solutions. Whether its the right bike, a comfortable fit, a repair or replace/upgrade. They love providing and maintaining the bikes for all levels of cycling, and its fun to go in there and look through the toys.
Great wrenching and attention to detail.
Adam as a fitter is as knowledgeable about anatomy and biomechanics as anyone I’ve worked with, though usually much more so.Moreover, the shop was able to get new shoes, that they didn’t have in stock, in my hands in a day or two.
I’ve been cycling and doing triathlons for about 15 years. From the start, I had accepted some things about various pains and limitations I had on the bike. I had gone to several fitters over the years and generally ended up with a good fit, but not a great one. As I was training for an Ironman, I was having some pains early in my training and a friend who is an experienced Ironman told me I had to go see Adam…so I did. Wow. Within 20 minutes in his studio, I felt some things lock in that had always been issues. Within the hour, his adjustments took away almost all issues I was having. I went back a few more times for some minor tweaks and Adam always fit me in quickly and saw me around my crazy work travel-schedule. I finished the Ironman this year with no fit-related pain.Adam is as good as they come. Cheers!
Place sucks. At arrival there was only 1 person inside and the guy who in charge was on “i dont have anything inside for you to see”
