I cannot recommend Wei enough. I've had two bike fits with him so far and on both occasions, I've come out of it with a positive feeling.
Wei is extremely knowledgeable, understanding and just an overall great person who is ready to talk to you about anything and everything bike fit related.
He took into account all of my concerns, issues, riding goals and adapted my fit, while explaining the changes in detail each time to make sure I understood them. I have a much better understanding of what sort of bike I need, the setup I'll be most comfortable in and the equipment surrounding it.
The detailed report at the end of the fit really makes it easy to understand every aspect of the change and contains all the measurements that I can use to setup my bike.
All in all, Wei is one of the best in the business, and I'd recommend him highly.

I recently booked in with Wei for a standard fit - it was a great session with comprehensive analysis and adjustments to all aspects of my riding position. I ended up much more comfortable on my bike. Wei also has a wealth of knowledge on the bike fits and custom bike geometry / characteristics, which I really enjoyed getting into. I can highly recommend a bike fit at Foundation

Great experience with Wei at Foundation Fit. Wei is very generous with his time, clearly experienced and well prepared which resulted in a very successful fit. His follow up was also first class. Having followed his recommendation on a new bike I am seeing improved performance and more comfortable riding. I am happy to recommend Wei.

Absolutely top notch. I had the Standard Fit, which was very comprehensive. All of the information is communicated very clearly and made available in a very detailed report post session. Wei was very patient and makes sure that each stage is perfect before moving on to the next.
Wei also addressed my mobility, particularly down my right side, providing stretches for me to do. It was interesting to discover the cause of the tightness, stemming from a crash and also not having very strong foot arches. Lots of great tips about posture too, and now I feel as though I can breathe deeper and ride longer.
All in all, it was a great experience, with all my questions answered. Wei is very friendly and easy to talk to and I feel more confident riding - now time to get a new bike with the new measurements in mind :)
Thanks Wei!

My fitting with Wei was genuinely top tier – can’t recommend him highly enough and will going back for my annual follow ups.
Having had an underwhelming fit previously I asked around friends and was eventually referred to Wei by another bike fitter who had recently retired. I visited Wei with the primary purpose of being sized up for a new bike, but the fit was treated as a holistic process in which my current bike was adjusted as well.
We started with off the bike movement analysis, where he identified any weaknesses and compensations my body was making. He then had me ride on my current bike and demonstrated the impact these had to me on the bike using video taken on an iPad. This immediate feedback allowed me to see and understand the adjustments we were making.
Over the course of the fit he moved around the position of my bars/saddle and we tried numerous saddles to see what worked and didn’t. Rather than simply moving me into a “one size fits all efficient/aero position”, through a process of trial and error put me into a position that was better suited to me, more efficient and could be maintained. I could clearly see the change in the videos I was shown, and in the following month as I adapted to the new position, I felt much stronger and more comfortable on the bike.
Following up from the fit Wei sent me a huge amount of data from my session which I can refer to, along with a number of recommendations on bikes. Given the current global shortage of available bikes over the next couple of months I had several follow up questions on and he always promptly answered any questions, which allowed me to order my dream bike with no doubt it’s going to work well for me, particularly after I have Wei set me up on it.
It’s rare to find someone so professional, knowledgeable, and passionate about bikes who is looking to help you rather than sell you as much as they can (he made justified recommendations during the fit without any pressure / attempt to upsell). Wei is worth every penny of the service he provides, thanks for helping me to continue to ride injury free.

I had a wonderful time during the Performance fit with Wei. Even before the fit, Wei was very responsive and got into lots of details with me, answering my questions. This gave me good feelings about working with Wei.
During the fit, Wei was so patient and professional. His attention to detail was phenomenal, accurately setting up my bike and calibrating sensors for the 3D data. Not only did he take photos and videos of me on the bike in different angles, he also took his time to explain what we were looking at and how we could improve them. In addition, he also assessed some of my off-the-bike mobilities and explained how they can be transferred to cycling. In the end, we concluded that I could be more aerodynamic (longer and lower stem) but also encouraged me to improve my upper body strength to hold the position for a longer period of time.
After the fit, I received a very detailed report on the bike fit with all the videos, photos and bike fit data in Google drive. Wei also sent me some core strength and flexibility exercises to compliment cycling in a more sustainable aerodynamic position. Gotta go fast!
To conclude, I have no complaints about the service because it is exceptional. Wei is the best in business and would highly recommend checking it out if you are in the market for a bike fit or to be injury-free.
M. C.
Grateful I found Wei as I've been looking for the right bike fitting service for a while now. His service ticked all the boxes, particularly as I was looking for someone who could take into consideration a previous back injury. He is thorough, patient, knowledgeable, friendly, and just all around exceptional attention to detail. I'll be back with my next bike!
H. A. M.
I didn’t think I need any changes on my bike but decided to book a new bike fitting with Wei as I am looking to upgrade. Wei made few changes on the old bike and the impact was great … the bike is more comfortable and I am much faster.
Wei is friendly and professional and I have already recommended his service to my friends.
S. J. B.
Wei is an amazing craftsmen when it comes to a bike fit! he pulls out all the stops to ensure the fit goes well not leaving any stone unturned until all the measurements are accurate including the selection of the right seat! He guided me through what bike to get, until I got it a year later, answering any questions I had along the way, the after service care is immeasurable, thank you Wei!!

Wei's the best bike fitter I've found in London. Really nice to work with, he explained everything he was doing and why. The net result was a combination of small changes which have made a big difference, almost completely removing the problem I came with in the first few weeks. I highly recommend him if you have any issues/pain riding.
J. B.
Incredible service. Wei was very patient and diligent asking all the right questions and investigating anything that could possibly impact the bike fit. We went above our allocated time but Wei kept working with me to ensure we found the best possible fit. The follow up report and emails after the fit were also very useful, we were able to find a good fit on my existing bike but as I am looking for a new bike he also provided advice on what to look for and even provided links to a few suggested bikes that would fit me well.
From a covid point of view the studio was very clean and he maintained a safe distance with both of us wearing a mask throughout.
Overall, I just cannot recommend highly enough, I've had other bike fits before and was left frustrated with the lack of attention to detail and the resulting fit but there were no such problems here. If you have been contemplating getting a bike fit you should definitely book here, you will struggle to find a bike fitting service as good as this.
M. O.
Excellent bike fit! I was thinking if I need the fit but I don't regret any minute spent there. Helps to understand what kind of bikes you could ride and which one is the best for you! Definetly recommend
K. Y.
The bike fit with Wei was absolutely fantastic. I would recommend it whether you are novice or expert. I only wish I had done it years ago when I first started out! I've been cycling for around 15 years and I'm confident on the bike, and this experience was a total game changer in terms of making me feel more powerful, agile, and (underscore) comfortable, and in making longer rides more sustainable. Wei has a wealth of knowledge about cycling technique and body mechanics, and he's incredibly attentive to what your needs and goals are. He won't quit until every adjustment is optimized. And he made the whole experience super fun. I'm looking forward to working with him when I'm ready to pull the trigger on my next bike. Highly recommend.
J. M.
From beginning to end Wei was super personable, professional, and clearly had a lot of expertise. He didn't shy away from explaining the details of decisions being made and why, and I really appreciated how much effort he made in taking me along the journey of understanding the fit process.
I had a really great experience, and think it's a valuable exercise for anyone hoping to be more comfortable, speedy, efficient, and confident on their bike - be it starting out or more seasoned.
:) Thanks Wei!!!
C. M.
Very thorough assessment. Wei is scientific in his approach, and he came up with very valuable suggestions and bike adjustments – thank you Wei!
Review Part II: I went to Wei because my rides were painful and uncomfortable- mainly numb hands and feet, neck pain, back and butt pain. I did my first two rides with the new settings (120k and 106k) and i am pleased to report that all pain was gone and i feel way better on the bike. Definitely worth it- Thank you again Wei!
S. a. C. J. M.
Extremely thorough and professional service service. Would highly recommend to anyone taking up cycling as a hobby as it's vital the bike is set up to maximise your efficiency and comfort. You will not be encouraged to spend more money by buying alternative parts like seats etc. Just advised of the different options available. Money very well spent.
M. d. B.
Long over due review! Wei helped me get my new bike build to fit me in the space of a morning (a few months ago!). He was not only efficient and incredibly knowledgable but he also helped me understand exactly what and why he was checking or changing the position of things. The bike rides amazingly well and fits my body perfectly, and it’s all thanks to this bike fit 🙂👌🏼 I recommend him to everyone needing a bike fit.
P. G.
After so many years riding and not having had a professional bike fit, I now see the why its so important.
I had a great experience, I was explained each step and made sure I understood why the changes are made and for what end. I would definitely recommend a bike fit with Wei.
P. O. B.
My recent bike fit from Foundation has transformed my experience of riding exponentially. Having cycled for the last 5 years or so in the wrong position, plus a few run ins with cars here and there, I was a bit of a mess. Wei was able to alter my position on the bike to be much more comfortable, smooth whilst pedalling and powerful in general. The niggles and pains in my body are improving as well after only a week. I wish I had a bike fit from day one. I will definitely be calling Foundation before buying my dream bike next year. Thank you for everything.
G. C.
Great experience. Wei was not only able to optimise my ride but took time to explain why every change was needed. Highly recommend!
J. C.
Had a great fitting experience - feel better and faster on the bike - Wei is a great guy who obviously knows his stuff!
J. W.
Fantastic experience at Foundation Bike Fit. Wei is clearly extremely knowledgable as well as being a super nice guy. Made quite a few changes and tested a bunch of different things to see what’s right, not only with the bike but also how the body should be positioned. It’s very thorough and well worth the time and money. Would highly recommend to everyone.

I have been cycling for more than 10 years and after getting a new bike I thought it would be useful and interesting to get a bike fit.
I met up with Wei and had a very good overall experience. Wei is very nice and knowledgeable guy and was very patient with me, trying out various set ups and adjustments. I the end we adjusted the position of the cleats of my shoes, the width of my handlebars, the stem length, seat height and forwarded my seat position. I also got a new test saddle with me home that I have been using the last four weeks. I learned a lot during this session and it have made me more aware of how I sit on the bike and when I experience any pain or inconveniences on the bike, I do know a bit more what to look for. I have also use the set-up I got on this bike on my other road bike. I would definitely recommend Wei for anybody who considers a bike fit, and yes, it is a bit costly, but I am going to ride my bike for another 40 years, so the price per ride would be modest:-).

Wei is a friendly, personable and an expert bike fitter. I have a dodgy left foot and he miraculously removed all the pressure on it and transformed my riding experience – and that was just the beginning. Excellent service that taught me a lot about cycling, the right kind of bike for me, and has set me up well to find a new bike. Bike fits should be mandatory for anyone wanting to take their cycling even a bit seriously – and Wei does wonderful work.
M. B.
Wei is quite simply the nicest of guys you would like to meet. His knowledge and understanding of riding and bike fitting is exceptional, but what is more appealing is the way in which he is able to explain to you the reasons behind the changes and the benefits you will see from them. I would have no issue at all in recommending his services to anyone whom was thinking of getting a bike fit.....what ever your level of cycling its with the investment. Value for money if it was possible to give more than 100% i absolutely would... Get in, Get it done, See the benefits.
J. S.
I have had a great experience with Wei. He helped me to reduce the stress and pressure on my shoulder while riding by changing the saddle and seating location. He took a lot of time during the fit with me and I received a really good summary of reports and pictures after the fit. Thanks a lot Wei!
O. L.
I had a fitting with Wei today at Cloud 9 for my TT and road bike. The session was a real insight to the fitting process and the many adjustments and measurements that go together to make a bike fit!! Wei is really knowledgeable on the fitting process and shows great attention to detail. By the end of the session I had a much better understanding of the overall set up and geometry of my bikes and i look forward to testing the new set up!! Thanks
V. N.
I recommend this bike fit studio very highly. I had a great session. Wei was very informative without being patronising, and I came away having learnt so much about my body's mechanics both on and off the bike and how to improve this. I also found the 3DMA really helpful in visualizing what my body was doing, and it was very gratifying seeing instantly how much of a difference changes in cleat position, insoles etc were making to my movements on the bike.
o. s.
Had my bike fit from the mobile studio a few weeks ago. Wei is really friendly, brought all the kit and it's obvious he knows his stuff. Managed to sort out a few of my problems and to be honest, I didn't know that road bikes could feel as comfortable as mine now does (basically all pressure points removed!) It was a bit on the expensive side for me, but then looking around the internet bike fits in general are - that's just the going rate. If you've got a nice bike or do a lot of cycling, then it's money well spent.
R. M.
It is clear from the start that Wei is very knowledgeable and experienced in bike fitting and it is no surprise that he achieved a great functional fit for me. Also provided during and after my fit was recommendations of off the bike work (stretching/strengthening exercises) I could do to remain comfier on the bike for longer. The fit report supplied in the days after the fit has much more detail than I expected (I was very impressed indeed) and I have been using the information to improve my riding and comfort for which it has been a success. A big thank you to Wei for getting my cycling appetite back after months of discomfort caused by a poor setup. I would not hesitate to use Foundation Fit again to address any problems associated with my interaction with the bike. Also it would be fair to mention the staff and facilities at Cloud 9 cycles where the fit was performed were great and contributed to a enjoyable fitting experience.
H. G.
Had a mobile basic fit with Wei. Had trouble getting a fit with my flat bar bike and because I don't clip in. None of this was an issue. Wei was really experienced, took his time to explain everything to me, making the adjustments as we went and putting my fears at ease getting on turbo trainer! Had a really great experience with the fit and looking forward to trying it all out properly. I'd like to think that I wouldn't need him again, but things do change over time and I know exactly to go when I do.
J. M.
Cannot be thankful for Wei and his fitting advice enough! You feel like he is genuinely interested in your cycling goals and tapers your fitting towards this. Immediately after our first session, there was night and day difference in efficiency and saddle comfort. Wei set me up with a Selle SMP test saddle and i’ve never looked back. Over 6 months later and some of the biggest hours spent on the bike - Im super happy with everything we’ve worked on - and it’s crazy to think that this was all something you didn’t even need to leave your house to do! Why was mobile bike fitting never a thing before?!
I’d also like to thank Wei for responding to all my crazy ideas and questions over email since - From his opinions on SPD sandals, to making my gravel bike measurements work on a MTB conversion - he’s been super helpful and responsive with it all. Legend.
J. T.
My bike fitting with Wei was excellent.
He was extremely professional and went through the various adjustments with me, explaining everything along the way. In the end, we only made small changes to the bike but they had a noticeable impact on my riding comfort. He also provided a log of all the measurements so that I could track and adjust further if needed.
Would definitely recommend!
T. P.
Wei fitted a new build bike for me in preparation for a race. Wei has a very nice manner, was very thorough in his approach and gave a detailed account of why adjustments were being made and the effect on posture and comfort. He also helped with a few tweaks after the fit too, after I’d had time to test the new bike set-up out. I would highly recommend a fitting with Wei.
A. P.
Wei came to my home and worked with me to make my new bike feel like it had been made for me. He was very professional throughout, made me feel quite at ease, and gave me enough info about it all to feel like I could continue to make small adjustments after a period of riding without blinding me with bike science.
As a result of the work Wei did I now feel really comfortable, and more importantly more confident, on my bike, and the enjoyment I get from riding has boosted massively.
Highly recommend Wei, and Foundation bike fit - it might seem like an extravagance, especially for a new rider (like I was...), but I can't recommend it highly enough. Get comfy on your bike, and really enjoy riding!
M. F.
Three hours and £245 very well spent. Wei gave excellent advice and information on everything bike fit and bike related, getting my new (e-) bike optimally adjusted and ready for cycling work and pleasure. Can’t wait to finish the setup and get riding. Thanks Wei!
J. P.
My bike fit with Wei has made a huge difference to my comfort on my newish bike. Before the fit, both the saddle and riding position were causing me lots of aches and pains and my enjoyment of cycling was waning fast. I had tried making changes myself but it didn’t help. I don’t live near London but Wei still managed to arrange a bike fit to suit us both.
Wei was brilliant, from the moment I first made contact to the follow up. During the fit he explained exactly what he was doing and how it might help, and by the end I felt MUCH better on the bike. After the fit I received a very comprehensive and helpful report and I know I can contact Wei if I am still not happy with the riding position.
I have been out for a couple of medium length rides since the fit and the improvement in comfort is fantastic!! I am so pleased I found Wei and highly recommend him!
J. H.
I had a bike fit last week with Wei, which was absolutely brilliant. He listened to what I was trying to achieve as well as any niggles I had with my old position, and gave great, impartial advice whilst adjusting my position. Would thoroughly recommend to anyone who spends any amount of time regularly on a bicycle!
B. N.
Wei is very friendly and patient. He brought all the kit round to our flat and spent 3 hours working with me to tweak things on my bike and make it much more comfortable. I feel confident that I am riding in a good position now. Wei then sends through a report explaining what's been changed and why and a drawing of your bike, which will be really helpful for future reference. Ahead of a 3 month bike tour, this is money well spent and I wouldn't hesitate to spend it again!
H. W.
Couldn't have asked for a better bike fit. Wei lived up to his five star reviews! He is extremely knowledgable and passionate about his work. He made lots of small adjustments to my bike position that have made a huge difference to comfort and efficiency. Definitely worth doing - would highly recommend Wei to anyone who is looking for a bike fit. Not to mention the fact you get to do it in the comfort of your own home!
M. I.
Great bike fit experience with Wei. Extremely knowledgeable and able to translate that to actions on and off the bike. Look forward to my follow up session in a few months :)
P. R.
I had a bike fitting session recently with Wei. Up until that point I was under the impression that my bike set up is okay. And yes it was just "okay".
But as Wei started taking me through the different settings I realized how much better it can be the same bike! He made me understand about efficent good riding the diffrences between positions, the biomechanics of riding and so on. I learned so much in just one session and seeing the video analysis of my self was an eye opener.
If you want to get your bike sorted you should definitley book the session.
I highly recommend his services.
d. c.
I've recently had a bike fit with Wei and it was very impressive, what I really liked about his service was that he was completely independent and he carried out the bike fit in your own home.
I had a full bike fit so it was a 4 hr session, it was very comprehensive and detailed, setting up my alignment, taking lots of videos of me in the saddle and making loads of adjustments as to what worked for me best which involved me having a good work out on the bike.
I found the bike fit very thorough and informative, Wei also offers a after service if you need tweaking on the bike a few weeks later. He forwards you a folder with all the bike fit information, videos and suggestions for you to keep for your records.
I would like to add that I have had a previous bike fit several years ago by a reputed and respected bike shop near me which of course I then purchased a bike from them afterwards, their bike fit was no where near as comprehensive as what Wei offers and obviously Wei has no incentive to sell you a bike.
The information I received from Wei's bike fit is 10 fold what I received from my first bike fit, I now have a mass of information and Video's.
I would not hesitate in recommending Wei as I believe you would find it very difficult to find better and that also includes his pricing.
If your after a bike fit then contact Wei for a independent unbiased amazing service 10/10
P. L.
New bike required a little bike set-up, a few adjustments to saddle height/position + cleat position. Some great advice and observations about biomechanics and pedal stroke efficiency (or lack there of). Very happy with the new setup and recommend Wei wholeheartedly. Thank you.
G. S.
Wei came to my house to carry out a full bike fit. Before I even get the benefit through riding, the fit itself was a great experience - his knowledge, and enthusiasm to tailor his cycle experience to make you a better rider makes all the difference. I'd highly recommend getting his input.
M. D.
Great bike fit with Wei! Very professional, knowledgeable and independent so can give advice on any bikes you’re looking at in an unbiased fashion. Would definitely recommend and I will certainly be staying in touch with Wei for all my bike fit needs.
S. P.
The best £250 I've ever spent on my bike.
I went to Cloud9 cycles in central London for my fitting, where Wei made adjustments to just about everything, including my cleats, bar height, hood angle, saddle height and saddle fore/aft position.
He was endlessly patient, giving me several chances to get a feel for every tweak, and using lasers and video to demonstrate the difference that those changes made to my form and pedalling.
The cumulative effect was enormous - it felt like cycling away on a different bike.
All of the details of the final fit were shared via Google drive so that I could replicate them on my commuter bike and the bike that I use on my Turbo trainer.
I rode a record distance the following weekend at my fastest ever pace, all in much greater comfort than I'd normally expect. I should have given him my money years ago.
C. P.
I decided to wait a little while after my fit to put some miles under my wheels to see if Wei had made a difference. The answer is a resounding yes! I had acute knee pain before my fit and this was resolved almost immediately. Wei is patient and takes the time to explain every aspect of the the fit as you go through the process, his aim being to educate as well as fit you to your bike. My riding position is now more comfortable, I can ride for longer without discomfort and my FTP and power output has since increased! Great service.
J. M.
What a luxury to have a bike fit in the comfort of your own home! Wei is a complete pro. He clearly has loads of experience in this area and furthermore, is really passionate about his work. He spent ages tweaking tiny things to ensure I was as comfortable as could be on my relatively new bike. I would recommend the service to anyone who wants to cycle with confidence and comfort. It is a really good investment - what price would you pay to avoid injuries / niggles?!
w. L.
From one Wai to another Wei! he tweaked my position ever so little but that small adjustment made such a difference. I'm off to Italy shortly and even a short ride the other it felt easier.
Thank you Wei, highly recommended!
K. J.
Had a brilliant experience with Wei and my bike fit. I wanted two bikes fitted so the fact that Wei is mobile was a real advantage. Wei was really knowledgeable and helpful, the fit was really comprehensive and I learnt a lot. I've now been riding with my new fit for a week and already feeling the benefits. Before the fit I had been thinking about it for the last few years, now I'm experiencing the benefits I wish I had done it sooner!
A. D.
I'd been getting some pain on longer rides so decided to get a bike fit. Wei came to me with all the kit on a specially adapted bike.
He really knows what he is doing and has made a huge difference to my ride comfort. It was quite surprising what a difference small changes can make. I came away with a better fitting bike but also the knowledge as to why the changes were made and what feels right and wrong. A great service.
A. V.
Very friendly and professional! I had Wei coming over to my flat a week ago to correct pretty much...everything on my bike and improve my position! Having a bad posture led to a minor knee injury after using the turbo for the first time, so I urgently called Wei to fix me! A week later, I've been using my bike for commuting daily and have already seen the improvements! My shoulders are relaxed and not up-tight anymore, my saddle feels more comfortable and changing the position of my cleats gives me now the feeling that I step on a wider platform than before! Can't wait to do my first 100km ride for the year to see the difference! Wei is highly recommended and has fitted many people in ICC who are all happy customers!
Also, my dog seemed to be wanting to be the centre of attention... A big THANK YOU to Wei for being so patient and so sweet with my grumpy old dog! :D
M. H.
Anyone you talk to who has had a bike fit done will say how much of a difference they make. Some small adjustments, but it's made a big difference to power output and comfort on my bike. I had my bike fit at the Cloud 9 bike shop near TCR. Wei provided a great service and at a very reasonable price too. If you're interested in improving your performance and comfort on your bike, I'd definitely recommend Wei!
S. W.
Thanks for the great bike fit Wei - the session was revelatory for me. I am enjoying incorporating everything i learned (posture, pedalling etc) which is helping me overcome previous pain when riding. Thank you so much, would recommend
B. T.
I found Wei very diligent, friendly & most of all patient!! I had the Full fit and it was worth every penny. I been for two rides since the fit one 20 miles, and I've never felt better after a ride in terms of no aches or pains. I also noticed a marked difference in my power output, I just felt 'as one' with the bike. Can't wait to get on my bike now, if you are in any doubt please do yourself a favour and get a bike fit from Wei..you wont regret it!!
P. B.
An upcoming intensive cycling week and repetitive shoulder pain prompted me to search ...and I Foundation Bike Fit. Wei attended my house and spent 2 hours or so making minor adjustments (even cleats) that made an amazing difference to the fit and comfort of the bike. So far I've only ridden it on a turbo but I'm sure a road sportive will feel so much better. A lovely and knowledgeable chap to work with. Don't hesitate!
D. A.
Wei came to my office in Canary Wharf and we did the fit in the underground secure bike garage, which was really convenient. The communication beforehand was excellent and Wei has a great approach to making you feel comfortable, with a particularly strong attention to detail and a focus on getting you to understand and recognise the effect of the subtle changes he makes. I now feel my new bike is much more "my" bicycle, but I can also use the same knowledge for when hiring bikes abroad. Highly recommended.
A. J.
Did a lot of research before selecting Foundation Bike Fit. Wei visited me at home with a lot of equipment. I had a full fit and the whole experience was top notch. I was pedalling for 2-3 hours and a great many adjustments were made to get me riding in the most efficient position. I have been riding for a couple of months now and the difference is very noticeable and my knee pain has disappeared! Thoroughly recommended. I will definitely be using Foundation Bike Fit again!
R.
I could not recommend Wei enough. Having received my bike fit last week I am already noticing a difference and really enjoying the new set up. What's more the service does not after the bike fit itself, Wei's follow up email contains some very helpful information and suggestions to help your riding. If you you're considering a bike fit, don't deliberate any longer and get booked in with Wei!
W. B.
I'd recommend Foundation (Wei) to anyone.
I had my first bike fit and I was full of questions (even after having cycled for years and years) but Wei and I chatted through them all and I came away knowing a lot more about both the process and how I should be riding my bike (along with things to look out for). Even after the session Wei has answered any other questions I had.

I. K.
Amazing service!
Wei is communicative, knowledgable, friendly and just an overall nice guy. You'll feel comfortable with him immediately. He carries a lot of gadgets and tools, so there is no downside to having a bike fit at your home. Not to mention the convenience.
My only regret is not having it done earlier. So if you have any doubts or issues, don't struggle, just let Wei fix it. I wholeheartedly recommend his services.
J. S.
It was a pleasure to work with Wei for my first Bike Fit (May 2018). The pre-fit communication was great: I was sent a detailed questionnaire about my riding experience and concerns so I know Wei came prepared. It was a full-fit under the sun in my garden for 4 hours without breaks, but time definitely flew by when you have good company. Wei was chatty, patient and had good attention to detail. We made incremental adjustments on all bike parts (cleats, saddle, handle bar etc.) until we found the best position for me. Wei also analysed my mobility and body positions in order to decide what adjustments were needed to enhance my form (e.g. tight calfs). Wei had every tool we needed and it was handy that he had cleats for my new shoes so we could fit them (instead of using my old shoes). The post-fit report was excellent, very comprehensive and clear. I felt a huge difference riding on my newly-positioned bike: I can hold the aero position for longer, I have more control over the bike, and can put out more power. I look forward to the follow-up session with Wei and see if there is anything else we can do to optimise my position on the bike.
September 2018 update: I had a follow-up session with Wei and it was another pleasant experience. We went through the reasons for the follow-up (body discomfort, saddle height & TT bars adjustment etc.) and began to double-check last time's measurements to make sure they are still suitable for my needs. Within an hour's time, my TT bars were re-mounted, a slightly-adjusted position was formed and I'm ready to go again. Wei's professionalism and patience is highly recommended.

I had a basic bike fit with Wei.
Before: couldn't ride more than 10 miles without getting horrendous neck pain.
After: cleared a 35 mile ride no problem. No more neck pain, and the new position means I can get way more power down.
10/10 would fit again.

I’ve now had 2 full bike fits with Wei and both have been excellent (1x road bike, 1x tri bike).
The report that follows the fit is very detailed. Wei is clearly very knowledgable and is also friendly and helpful, putting the rider at ease throughout.
I have a small flat but Wei was comfortable working around that.
Thanks Wei, 5 stars!
O. C.
Fantastic bike fit from Wei! Wei has a really good approach to bike fitting and a very calm manner. I definitely felt like I was riding in a better position after the session. Would highly recommend to anyone who is looking for a bike fit.
T. B.
Excellent experience. My bike feels 10x better - feel like i can generate more power for longer with more comfort.
I worked from home in the morning, so Wei was able to come down to my home to do the fitting. This was a real convenience for me.
I would recommend to my friends.
R. Y.
Very professional and friendly service. I had a bike fit before riding the North Coast 500 as I had back pain on long rides. After the fit I felt I was riding in the bike rather than on it, no more back pain, and a faster, stronger, more stable position. I would not have guessed a more aggressive position would have been more comfortable. Money very well spent, saves you needing a chiropractor in the future.. Thank you Wei!
G. C.
Wei is brilliant and having the service at home was great. The pack I got afterwards with videos, photos, advice and exercise tips was really useful and I still refer back to it today. I mainly went to the bike fit to help with various problems in my knee, back and wrist but I would recommend anyone doing a lot of cycling to get fitted as it has helped my overall performance (on hills especially!) and ultimately enjoyment massively.
J. S.
I always thought that back pain was normal when cycling and I have lived with it for years limiting my time on the bike. The biggest ride before was a painful 50km. Following this bike fit the pain has gone and I've progressed to doing 120km rides and 300-400km a week.
This year I decided to get my new bike professionally fitted for the first time and so I was introduced to Foundation Fit through my local bike shop.
What took place was about an hour of cycling on the rollers whilst Wei analyzed and adjusted my position, sometimes by as little as 1mm at a time. Eventually settling on a fit including replacing my stem. I rode away not feeling totally sure if I could tell the difference but the proof is when you start racking up the miles.
I can't speak highly enough of Wei. Knowledgeable and professional. He also has the coolest bike setup for travelling with all his gear.
R. L.
Wei is a very friendly, professional and knowledgeable fitter that comes to the comfort of your own place. The fit is thorough and Wei explains every aspect of the fit along the way.
The enhacement in comfort while riding has been really noticeable and the ability to sustain a higher intensity for longer.
Cannot recommend enough!

The bike fit with Wei surpassed expectations of a bike fit. A high quality service from initial website enquiry; arranging the date and time of the session; sourcing specific saddles; the bike fit itself, and the detailed specific and clear follow-up info downloadable in a zip file with everything said in the session that I would have struggled to remember otherwise. (the file will be a valuable resource). I am aiming to get back to regular riding after a frustrating and complex history of injury in the past 2.5 years. This bike fit has given me more confidence to try to achieve that goal. If I don't manage it, it will be to do with factors other than fit. Furthermore, this was a real 'customized' experience. I felt more comfortable and free to ask questions/understand the process in the comfort of my own home than I have done in bike fitting studios where one can feel more 'processed'. There was no time pressure or rushing which leads to missing details and compromises. I've had a number of bike fits in the past, and they've been generally good. But this was the most complete, enjoyable, and educational. The best bike fit I've had in terms service and value for money. I can't recommend Wei highly enough.
N. M.
I have been suffering from nerve impingement down both arms and a huge contributor to my now being 90% symptom free is having a bike fit with Wei. He is very thorough and un rushed in examining every aspect of position on the bike. Highly recommend him.
B. W.
I had a standard fit with Wei and it has transformed my new bike and made it so much more comfortable. The fact that he does home visits makes this a really convenient service. I highly recommend Foundation and would definitely use Wei again.
A. A.
Really useful, comprehensive knowledge and understadning of what is needed. Would highly recommend to anyone buying a bike as an essential service.
B. E.
Wei was friendly and professional! Spent three hours going through the different set ups and answering my many questions! The thing that was so remarkable was the amount of power that I was able to generate by adjusting my set up so slightly! Would highly recommend him whether you have a new bike or if you want to get the best out of your old Bike!
C. T.
Great experience and lots of useful help to improve the way I use my muscles and posture. Wei is friendly and supportive. The bikes feel better. It’s early days but I am sure if I take his advice I’ll have good summer’s riding
S. W.
First of all it’s great to be able to bring the bike fit to the comfort of your own home, second the service that Wei offers is thorough from start to finish. He takes time to understand the mechanics of your body and the aims you have as a rider. He collects movement data, video and photos to analyse posture and position. Changes are implemented and tested, more data collected and analysed. We experimented with saddle height, stem reach and height to aid posture, eliminate issues with cramp and improve the efficiency of the pedal stroke. We tested various saddles to see how they affected my position on the bike and the movement of my hips. We looked at the cleat position and the mechanics of the foot, adding insoles to support my arches. He’s friendly and knowledgeable and was able to explain a lot of things to me about the way I rode that I had never even realised. I’m excited to put the changes to the test and report back to him in a couple of months time. If you are looking for a bike fit then I would thoroughly recommend getting in touch with Foundation Fit.

Today i had my bike-fit with Wei. I could not stress enough how helpful and knowledgeable he is. I would recommend him to anyone from the beginner to the professional !!
J. M.
I recently booked for a full fit/ cleat positioning with Foundation Fit after hearing several good recommendations. I was massively impressed, it was great to do the session at home and Wei's a great guy so it was a really enjoyable few hours. Lots of fine adjustments to my set up made a huge difference to the feel on the bike and its really settled my IT pain so I would definitely recommend anyone considering a fit to get it done. I learned a lot along the way too. Not sure why i've waited so many years to be honest!
Also a big +1 to the after session support, I got lots of further advice on new bike purchasing, and updated CAD drawings too specific for the new build. Definitely not a case of turn up, one fit and thats your lot which I think is pretty important.
D. H.
Top service from someone who's willing to go the extra mile (literaly as well). Attention to details and the flexibile approach make Wei my top recommendation when compared with other providers on the market. To sum the experience up, following a fit, you'll notice your bike less and have more power to put down - that's how it feels to me. Looking forward to the 6 months re-evaluation, hoping for some 200/300 km rides before then. Thanks Wei
C. K.
Really great experience. Wei took the time to go through each section of my bike/posture methodically to find the cause of some knee pain I'd been having, and the bike now feels much more comfortable. Very nice and patient guy, cheers Wei.
L.
Great service, very knowledgeable. Loads of minor adjustments to make me more comfortable on my bike, plus I could try multiple handlebars and saddles to find the best fit for me, and Wei then fitted them. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend
D. W.
Excellent Bike fit session, knowledgeable and patiently took time to explain every adjustment made. I’ve only recently started cycling and the adjustments have helped immensely. Worth the money to avoid injuries.
L. J.
Wei went far beyond what I was expecting from the session. Full bike fit, plus physio assessment and exercises to strengthen weak areas and stretch out areas of tension.
Really enjoyed the session and would recommend to anyone looking to get more out of their bike
E. E.
I have worked with Wei 3 times now for different bike and each time its an amazing service, can feel difference and comfort from first ride.
D. P.
Wei is great. This bike fit really helped me.
J. M.
Wei is very knowledgeable and likeable with a passion for cycling. The cycle fit was incredibly thorough and made an immediate improvement to my posture and power output. Highly recommended.
K. W.
Second bike fit with Wei - he is so knowledgeable, patient and insightful, noticing long-term injuries before I noticed. Definitely worth investing in!
a.
Bang on time, very easy manner, explained the process, made a number of incremental tweaks whilst taking my feedback on board. It all led to a great fit, I have lost the twinge in my glute, feel more powerful and getting used to the new position, it feels great. 100% recommend.
d. c.
I've recently had a bike fit with Wei and it was very impressive, what I really liked about his service was that he was completely independent and he carried out the bike fit in your own home. …
R.
I could not recommend Wei enough. Having received my bike fit last week I am already noticing a difference and really enjoying the new set up. What's more the service does not after the bike fit itself, Wei's follow up email contains some …
W. M.
Really great service. Took his time, making sure to check everything carefully before moving on, and had really good advice - and explained every element of what he was checking for, and what he was adjusting/improving. Highly recommended.
M. F.
Really thorough - learnt a lot as well. I could already feel the difference on the turbo trainer and can't wait to get out on the road to feel the benefit. Top man Wei! Really knows his stuff.
J. K.
Wei is terrific. Really diligent and thorough. A pleasure. And incredibly convenient having him come to you.
M.
Wei was incredibly helpful pre, during and post the original fit! Made riding a lot more comfortable and enjoyable!

Getting a bike fit in general is definitely a must and then it is just a case of which one you should get. I had a bike fit 2 days ago and so glad I chose Wei/Foundation. I had a fit on a different bike last year using the Retul system but decided to give Foundation a go because of a recommendation of a club mate - did not disappoint. His approach is very different to the tech-based Retul system and relies a lot on rider feedback but I am very happy with the results and would definitely recommend to anyone else. So convenient having a fit in the comfort of your own home and not needing to trek across town to a studio and Wei is a nice guy who explains his approach throughout and really engages with you to see what things you like/dislike and what changes you can make to your setup. Great value for money - if anybody is on the edge wondering if they should do it or go elsewhere ... I would go back to Wei next time no questions!
J. A.
A really great experience! Wei was professional and very knowledgeable. I could feel the benefits of the adjustment immediately. Thanks again for a great service!

A great day working with Wei, completely stripped my bike and built it around me!

Absolutely brilliant attention to detail. Didn't think 1 mm here and 3mm there could make such a difference. Thanks, Wei for being such a perfectionist!
В. О.
Professional company. It' s what I was looking for. You don't need to come to their office. They will come to your home. Great job. Thanks Wei
J. L.
Great experience with Wei! Thank you. Highly recommended.

Highly recommended. Wei is very knowledgeable and patient in explaining things and answering questions. The insights provided within the package received at the end go beyond settings and measurements. I will definitely use all recommendations to improve, also off the bike. Very happy with the experience!
