I would really recommend Jake at Precise Performance, I did a lot of research and settled on PP.

Jake is a really kind and caring professional who takes the time to understand you and what you need from your fit and fit to you, rather than looking at a set of numbers and trying to make them go green or imposing a belief system onto you that you should ride a certain way.

Very precise in getting everything set up from shoes and cleats and everything else. Extremely good value. Visiting Jake at PP is a must if you want to optimise your position and get comfortable on your bike whether it’s your first bike or you race competitively.

Jake was recommended to me (and rightly so) by a local bike mechanic and I would pass on that recommendation for anyone looking for a bike fit in a heartbeat. He was extremely thorough, clearly very knowledgeable, and talked me through what we were doing and why throughout the bike fit. He also went the extra mile and offered to pick me and my bikes up from the nearest train station to his Basingstoke studio as I don’t drive – not bad customer service! I feel more comfortable and more efficient than ever before when riding.

Jake did a detailed assessment of my joints, body and posture followed by a range of minor adjustments and changes which made a significant difference to my comfort on a long 5hr ride.

Met with Jake and had a bike fit here. It was very thorough and friendly. Lots of advice given and no pressure to buy what Jake has there in the business. But if you do want something, he’ll sort you out with good prices and no uplift.
The bike fit itself took about 3 hours, as described, and has worked a charm to make my two bikes feel really comfortable to ride. I wasn’t there for a race fit and got exactly what I needed.
Thanks Jake, the bikes feel great now. TC

I had an outstanding experience with Precise Performance, a top-tier bike fitting company. What truly stood out was Jake’s remarkable attentiveness to customer support. His prompt responses and genuine willingness to help made the whole process smooth and enjoyable. Precise Performance truly understands the importance of exceptional customer service, and Jake’s efforts are certainly a testament to that. Highly recommend!

The best bike fit I could ask for. 10/10 service, Jake is clearly knowledgeable and explained why he was doing everything he did. Got my original fit, follow up and fitted to my second bike. Can not fault, never been so comfy. Could not recommend more.

Absolutely top class service. Jake is a really knowledgeable bloke who knows everything there is and is extremely helpful in the whole process, tells you everything you need to know. After buying myself a new bike I was in two minds about getting a fit, but I am so glad I did because I have never felt more comfortable. Would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for a better ride on the bike.

Jake was recommended to me about 4 years ago. I time trial so a good aero fit that works for me physically is essential.
Jake is extremely knowledgeable and always explains why he makes a change to the position of something on my bikes. He’s always makes time to review a fit if it doesn’t feel right or we need to make changes for a specific competition eg adherence to UCI regulations. He’s flexible and has squeezed me in at 07.30!

I would highly recommend Precise Performance for a bike fit. I went on the recommendation of two friends following their bike fits. Jake is very professional and knowledgeable. He was very thorough with his assessment. There was no pressure to buy new kit, but rationale was given. My new seating position and peddle position is so much more comfortable. My hand position needs tweaking, but that’s what the free follow up appointment is for. I enjoyed 300k of bike packing after my fitting with no saddlesore and a more efficient peddle rotation. I also received a comprehensive report. Very happy customer!

Can’t recommend enough, comfort and efficiency have gone through the roof and Jake’s attention to detail was second to none. 9 months after buying a new bike I didn’t realise how much I was missing out on with subtle changes needed for the seat, handle bars and cleats with a prescribed stretching program. Will go back again!

Jake at Precise Performance is an outstanding bike fitter. He worked with me to make sure I had the perfect fit for my bike, and his attention to detail was second to none. He was extremely knowledgeable and patient, and he made sure I was comfortable throughout the entire process. His customer service is top notch and he went above and beyond to make sure I was happy with the results, including a follow up. I highly recommend Precise Performance for any bike fitting needs!

Jake’s professionalism goes beyond any expectations. I really enjoyed the 2 hours we spent discussing my cycling experiences and checking my position on the bike. His many little advices – from his semi- pro experience – combined with few tweaks on the saddle, seat post, handlebar and cleats were invaluable and made a huge difference in my riding experience.
Precise Performance fitting should be a must for any rider out there. Thanks Jake !

A very useful session for my first bike fit. A few “big” changes and a lot of smaller tweaks have made for a much more comfortable ride. Lots of good advice from Jake about how to improve training and post ride stretching. I’ll be back for a follow up in due course and when I upgrade my bike. Thank you

Jake knows his trade, no doubt. I had the best bike fitting experience ever. He pays attention to every detail. He doesn’t rush through to get to the next customer instead, he treats you as if you are the only customer he has. Since my bike fit, I have seen some improvements on my rides. I highly recommend him for the best experience and the best results.

Fantastic bike fit and a brilliant experience overall. Jake is incredibly knowledgeable, thorough, and asked all the right questions as well as analysing the data to find the perfect balance between performance and comfort – both of which were key factors for me. Absolutely love my new set up and would highly recommend Precise performance.

After over 30 years in competitive cycling thought it was about time I had a proper bikefit! Crashes, injury and old age have all taken their toll over the years. Jakes approach was thorough and over the three hours worked on all sorts of things I’d never thought of – the result? I’m riding pain free for the first time in 5+ years.
It’s probably the best cycling accessory I’ve ever bought.

I approached Precise Performance for a professional bike fit as I had been suffering with a hip issue whilst riding. From the outset I was very impressed with Jake’s meticulous approach with every aspect of the process – his attention to detail, professional approach and intimate knowledge of bike and rider performance were evident. The result of the bike fit was quite extraordinary, with the majority of my pain and discomfort addressed successfully. I am delighted with my experience and would thoroughly recommend using Precise Performance LTD for any bike fit issues, however small.

Having bought my dream bike I wanted to ensure I didn’t make the mistakes of old and get myself into a position that I thought was faster, but in reality was hard to hold for anything longer than 10 min efforts. I was introduced to Jake at PP LTD and immediately felt like he understood the issues I had and had clear concise thoughts about how to address these. The fit included a thorough questioning about goals and experience prior to checking flexibility and working through a myriad of positions (adjusting seat height, stem length, bar width, drop, Gear/Brake lever positioning, crank length and cleat positioning. All of this with Jake reviewing data transmitted live from the modules and data sensors attached to various parts of my body. From this we worked through various solutions to find one that satisfied stage 1. I took the bike and went off for a few weeks clocking up 600km, where we went through my feedback and where certain tweaks could be made (Jake implemented these at no extra cost). Ultimately I now have a bike that is as bespoke to me as possible and I’ve gone from a fast bike over 10 min efforts to a fast bike over 4 hours due to the comfort levels. Can only thank him for his service and for being a great guy to work with. Highly recommend.

Jake Yarranton is simply brilliant, and I could not recommend him more enthusiastically. I came to him for a bike fit with a view to paying a hefty deposit on a Pinarello Dogma F I could not try out or even see in advance, and which has a very different geometry compared to the bike I had been riding for some 25,000 km before that. It was not a simple matter of replicating the geometry I was used to; I was in the dark about sizing, and I had a doubt as to whether I could be comfortable on that type of bike at all, having only ridden road bikes of the ‘endurance’ variety previously.

Don’t be misled by Jake’s youthful looks – he is a very experienced bike fitter, with many years of practice at the high end of of bike racing and the bike market. His excellent judgment, methodical and patient approach, ability to utilise a range of available techniques and technologies without excessively privileging any single one, and indeed wealth of experience were in evidence right from the start. He conducted my physical assessment while clearly and interestingly explaining every stage and every observation. The main part of the process, the bike position, was enjoyable and informative in equal measures. Relying on a range of low and high-tech equipment to set the broad parameters, his primary tool for establishing the most precise results appeared to be his own observation. Carefully studying the implication of every little change of geometry, he established certain parameters quite quickly, and certain others through longer experimentation and some back-and-forth repetition. Throughout, he explained clearly what it is that he was looking for, and why. When something was clear, he moved on; when there was a doubt, he explained the nature of the doubt, and how he was going about dispelling it.

Once he arrived at a final conclusion, he was entirely confident about it. He established the precise frame geometry and component dimensions I required, and translated those into the sizing parameters of the particular bike I intended to order. And he did not try to sell me anything I don’t need. For example, having explained the options available in bespoke insoles and the advantages they offer, he assessed my feet and how they interact with the standard insoles of my current shoes off and on the bike, and said ‘it’s fine, you don’t need bespoke options’. The same when it came to shoes, pedals, saddle – he was not interested in changing anything that worked well, or to interest me in products that might offer very marginal improvement.

Some months later, the Pinarello I ordered arrived. Its geometry and dimensions were significantly different from anything I had ridden before, and my first ride on it could only take place after the purchase was completed – it was a bit unnerving. Jake made sure to be present at the store and free when I came to collect the bike, installed it on the turbo trainer and checked my fit on it, to establish that everything is indeed as he expected. It was a short process, and with his green light I took the bike away, still somewhat apprehensive about how it would fit.

The proof is in the pudding: I have now done over 400 km on the new bike, over some 10 days. I expected to suffer a bit at the start even inasmuch as the fit was correct, just because it is so different – in stack, reach, component dimensions, even crank length – from what I had been used to. Instead, it felt perfect from the first turn of the cranks, and remained so to date. To put it simply, I have never been more comfortable on a bike.

Unassuming, humorous and straight talking, Jake was a pleasure to interact and communicate with throughout. He was generous with his time, and made special efforts to be available at particular times – when I needed to place the order, when I came to collect – despite being extremely busy. He answered all my questions with great patience and care, not only during the fit but also subsequently. I could not be happier about my experience with him.

After making the decision to buy a new bike, a bike fit with Jake at Precise Performance was the first step.

I have been absolutely delighted with the attention to detail and time Jake spent helping me get a set up that would be most beneficial to me. From the initial measurements, to advising of correct sizing and going the extra mile to speak with the bike manufacturer to ensure my custom build was right for me.

Highly recommend.

I recently returned to road cycling and when I purchased my new bike, the shop recommended having a bike fit, so I booked an appointment at Precise Performance.

Jake took time to explain the fit process before asking about my cycling history, injuries and what were my goals and objectives.

Starting with the physical assessment, my flexibility was good but like most people, there was a strength imbalance between my left and right legs/hips. Jake recommended several exercises to help address this.

Before adjusting my cleat position, Jake commented my shoes were too narrow for my feet. This wasn’t a sales pitch but a recommendation that would improve my comfort and efficiency. After correcting my cleat position, Jake made changes to my saddle height, adjusted its fore & aft position and the tilt angle. My handlebar position was good but there was a 10mm difference between shifter heights which explained the previous discomfort in my shoulders.

After the adjustments, I not only feel more comfortable but more connected to the bike at the contact points, which has improved my pedalling effectiveness and left / right power balance.

I would highly recommend a fit with Jake to anyone looking to improve their comfort and performance.

Brian Williams

Was very impressed with the bike fit I had with Precise Performance. A lot more goes into it then I ever thought. The attention to detail to see how your body works and it’s restrictions before you head to the bike was educating to say the least. Every fit is different for each individual.

Jake’s knowledge of how the body works and reacts with the bike was amazing and by the end of the session I was amazed at how different I felt on the bike and have a much better understanding of why.

Will certainly recommend to others to have a consultation and will work with him again.

David Long

Working with Jake was very mind opening. With a mixture of holistic conversations and technical, precise measurements he made my bike fit so much better.

I really liked his willingness to share his knowledge so that I could understand what we were changing in my riding position and why. I highly recommend working with him

First time I have ever had a bike fit and I would highly recommend anyone to do it.
A lot of time and attention was taken to every aspect of the fit which includes not only the bike but also your own physical well being.
All in all, the results are excellent, bike / cleat positioning is now adjusted properly and the bike feels 100% better.
I would highly recommend Jake, great guy and very knowledgeable. Plus he takes the time to find out the issues.

Jonathan Giddens

First class experience from start to finish. Jake has dramatically improved my cycling with alternations to my bikes and more recently, a new pair of custom fitted Lake shoes.

Even as someone who works in the bike industry, there’s only so far you can get with geometry charts and tweaking before you need to enlist a pro with the right knowledge, experience and equipment to get the best from you and your bike.

Jake was one of the more expensive options locally, but the fastest to respond and his communication has been great all the way through. The final result of two visits and meails back and forth has been more than worth the hours and pounds spent with him. I couldn’t recommend him highly enough.

My bike fit with Jake was only the 2nd I’ve ever had (10 years on from the first). Although I was happy with the level of service on my 1st fit, I wanted to try a more comprehensive process this time around and I was blown away by the level of detail Jake went into and all the factors that he was able to take into consideration when tuning the fit. Jake is very friendly and makes process both interesting and enjoyable. It was also very refreshing to have him review my initial assessment and recommend against spending more on an extra I had planned as he didn’t feel it would benefit me. I would highly recommend using Jake whether you be looking for extra watts, or just a more comfortable position.

Sandy Holford

I thoroughly enjoyed my bike fit. I suffered with sciatica and Jake has managed to improve my bike setup and riding style so that the pain has improved so that I can enjoy my cycling.

If you are going to spend many hundreds of pounds on a new bike then a bike fit will make sure you get the best possible setup for the bike. I will certainly be booking another setup on the next bike I buy.

Robert Smith

First time having a bike fit with Jake. A very knowledgeable guy who got straight to work with a physical assessment of me off the bike; explaining everything during the process. Once on the bike, my saddle was lowered quite a bit which surprised me but now I’ve been riding for some time in my new position, I feel more powerful, no lower back pain and can get more aero to. I cannot recommend Jake enough and I wished I’d gone to him sooner. I can’t believe I’ve been wasting watts from my position before Jake sorted me out. Top man.

Damon Payne

I’ve been working with Jake for a while now – as an older beginner cyclist it made sense to get a bit of help. After a lifetime of being really uncomfortable on a road bike I finally bit the bullet and did a bikefit session. It took a surprisingly long time – pretty comprehensive work. Jake isolated a couple of problems for me. I’m faster and more comfy now. Still a way to go but definitely on an improving path. Should have done it before. Will do it next time I get a new bike!

Gerrard Dale

I was extremely impressed with the service Jake provided for my bike fit. He is very professional and knowledgeable about his work, and took the time to explain the reasons behind the different aspects of the fitting process and to listen to my feedback. Prior to getting on the bike, Jake took me through a detailed analysis of my physical condition and flexibility as well as a discussion about what I am seeking to achieve on the bike, so that this could be factored into my optimum positioning on the bike.

The adjustments he made to the bike and cleat position have made immediate benefits to my power output and comfort enabling me to take on longer rides with less fatigue, and with the added confidence that my positioning on the bike is just right. Jake also gave me a few pointers on how to work on aspects of my physical conditioning to further enhance my stability and performance.

Jake is a friendly and engaging guy who is keen to pass on his knowledge to his clients, which made the entire experience very enjoyable. I would highly recommend him.

I would highly recommend a bike fit with Jake at Precise performance. I have had several bike fits with other people, but I was still suffering from issues in, let’s just say, the saddle area. It got so bad I only had to do a half an hour ride and I would be suffering. It had reached the point where I thought I was going to have to give up cycling. Then my son recommended Jake and what a difference the bike fit has made.  I can now do multi-day rides and long-distance rides without any problems. Just to make 100% sure I have left writing this review for 6 months or so and still no problems. Thanks so much Jake.

I got a bike fit with Jake in the summer and have been super impressed by both the fit of the bike and the general service.

Like any proper bike fit it’s not cheap but certainly consider it a sound investment and well worth it. Felt comfortable on the TT bike afterwards and Jake was hugely accommodating in getting the balance between comfort / aero – the full assessment given prior to actually getting on the bike was helpful and plenty of opportunity for questions.

The complimentary follow up was easy to organise, and again really helpful. Would feel confident to come back to Jake with any issues and be seen quickly.

Overall, would 100% recommend!

Jake’s triathlon bike fit was just excellent. Jake’s knowledge of physiology and cycling is impressive, and this resulted in a very detailed and tailored bike fit. Jake provides clear, objective and transparent advice which was much appreciated.

I had my first bike fit with Jake Yarranton who was incredibly thorough in his assessment and really listened to what I wanted to achieve out of it. He appears to be genuinely interested in helping you achieve your goals and by the  end he had made changes to my set up which have really improved my performance on the bike. I also really appreciated that, whilst he made suggestions about what additional parts might benefit me, there wasn’t a hard sell and I felt I had time to think about it before committing. He clearly knows his stuff and I would definitely recommend him.

I wanted to say thank you and let you know that I did a 320km ride across Wales on the weekend, with 6000 metres of climbing, on grippy Welsh roads on a stiff carbon bike, and honestly never felt better after a ride…. which is a huge endorsement of what you did for my position/fit given it was just over a week after the fit! So, nice one!

Charlie Stewart

The bike fit has worked well; I am very pleased to recommend Jake to anyone who is more than an occasional cyclist.  Combined with decent equipment, the bike fit has made for a more comfortable, stronger ride with a lower risk of niggles and injuries.  An added benefit is peace of mind: knowing that the bike and set-up are good, I can focus on the bits that aren’t.  Thank you Jake!

Marcus Watson

Thank you Jake for all your advice during my bike purchase and during my bike fitting appointment after taking delivery. Superb advice and a very enjoyable experience overall – I am already riding better and in greater comfort. Greatly appreciated.

Jake was very helpful through the process, he inquired about the history and the aim of what I wanted to get out of the process. Being a new road cyclist I found the whole process very informative.

Starting with the shoe adjustment to improve the connection to the pedal to the adjustment of the handle bars and seat he took his time to ensure that I felt comfortable with the changes.

In the last few weeks since the fitting I am already seeing the positive impact of adjustments have made.

Being relatively new to road bikes and becoming more serious about my cycling, I was never quite sure how I should feel on a road bike, which led me to seeking out a bike fit. I couldn’t be happier that I chose Jake and Precise Performance.

Jake put me at ease, was friendly and knowledgeable and easily explained the process, the details and reasoning behind what he was doing.

The assessment of my body / flexibility and the fitting process was very detailed and has resulted in a much more comfortable position, eliminating the neck pain I was getting. I feel like I’m far more efficient and able to put more power through the pedals now.

I’m very happy with my bike fit with Jake and couldn’t recommend him more.

David Levy

Fantastic bike fitting experience with Jake! Couldn’t be happier. Jake was very thorough and helped me understand my limitations on the bike and what needed to change. By tweaking cleat position, saddle and handlebar positions, height and tilt, and carrying out a full mobility assessment, Jake managed to improve my comfort level on the bike and power transfer by far! Very pleased with the whole experience and couldn’t recommend him more. Best bike fitter in London by far.

Luca Morrone

I have had bike fits before, but for questionable benefit.
The bike fit with Jake has genuinely transformed how I feel on my bike, efficiency, power and speed. I had accepted that some discomfort was a part of cycling, but Jake has dispelled that. I learnt a huge amount during the process and the attention to detail was so impressive

Jonathan Lawson

Precise Performance bike fitting service was top standard and Jake was super helpful in getting me an appointment quickly after I had experienced a knee injury. The bike fit was so insightful not just at my bike riding position but my overall body composition and highlighted some key areas which needed stretching and strengthening, all helped rehabilitate my knee and I am now riding pain free!
I couldn’t recommend this service enough. Jake has a wealth of knowledge and experience which is invaluable for bike fitting in finding the most efficient and comfortable positioning.

Precise Performance is a first class operation, Jake was very thorough and very professional. He takes the extra time and attention to detail in order to walk you through all the adjustments he’s making, tradeoffs and your own personal preferences into account. I’ve been very happy and very comfortable on my new bike as a result. Cannot recommend him highly enough and I am very confident you will be impressed as well.

Payton Dobbs

I planned for my follow up session with Jake but this got delayed due to the various Covid lockdowns and in the meantime I had bought a new bike. Also I had bought a smart trainer and throughout this period Jake always answered my queries on what to buy offering his extensive experience. Having booked my follow up I was very pleased again with the outcome and subsequent improvements, Jake making those mm changes to my new bike. I was very pleased to hear that Jake has opened up another studio in the Pinarello outlet in London which shows the professionalism and expertise he has in this field. 100% go to Jake for bike fit.

Adrian Saunders

I really enjoyed my bike fit with Jake. It was both informative and collaborative experience. I was able to ask Jake quite a few questions and discussed things like crank length, saddle height ,what axle length should be on my pedals and even what shoes would he recommend for people with wide feet. If you going to buy any road bike I would recommend Jake so you don’t buying a bike that is not set correctly for you. It was great experience.

Robert Melton

Jake has transformed my riding experience.

I went in to get a bike fit and enquire about measurements for a new bike. However after a number of small adjustments, including the bar and stem, Jake has made my current bike more comfortable and me a better rider.

I had a number of small niggles including back pain and numb hands, which he rectified after an iterative process.

Will Heaton

Excellent experience with Jake!
I’ve been struggling with numb fingers after longer rides, due to the wrong posture on the bike. So numb I even had mornings I couldn’t hold my toothbrush properly nor eat my cereals, and that was super scaring, since I use my hands alot for my work!
But after 2000km this summer and many frustrating situations, I’ve decided to consult the professionals! So now, with a narrower handlebar, adjusted headtube & saddle, and customized insoles & adjusted cleats for shoes, I feel I could go for another 2000km till the end of this season! I am so glad I’ve contacted Jake and put all my trust in his work! I am so grateful now and I would recommend him anytime!

Jake’s knowledge on bike fitting is a real eye opener! His experience and the investment in his equipment is testimony to how much he cares about riding in comfort. Learnt much, and got a good understanding what I need to build my next bike. I will be back to see him soon.

I took my TT bike in for a bike fit with Jake. Really great communication and explanation the whole way through the process. Made changes customised to my flexibility which made a huge change to the power and comfort and I could achieve on the bike. Had a big PB at my local club 10 soon after, very happy with the service, thanks!

I cant recommend Jake and Precise Performance more highly. Had the most incredible experience getting my bike fit and setup. Jake went through several bike options that would work for my geometry and style of riding. Once we found the bike Jake arranged to swop out the components I needed in my correct size. I can honestly say the bike setup is absolutely perfect. I came off a period of not cycling for 3 months and was thrown straight into a 1000km challenge with 18 days to complete. I cycled 16 out of the 18days and never experienced any discomfort/injuries at all, also my neck shoulder pain I was . Also all of my averages, power, speed have all increased despite the time off, I can only put this down to the fit being perfect for my body geometry. Jake also went above and beyond arranging components to be delivered and returned (when there were delivery issues), All round just an incredible experience and I cant recommend getting a bike fit done with Precise Performance, it has vastly improved my cycling. Thanks Jake, much appreciated, couldn’t be happier with the bike!

From the initial enquiry Jakes knowledge and professionalism shone through. This was my first bike fit and Jake made me feel relaxed throughout the whole process allowing for a thorough and in depth bike fit. I was not sure what bike i was going to purchase and Jake was more than happy to check the geometry of various options and set the Retuel system to replicate.

The follow up to set up my newly purchased bike was equally as professional and attention to detail second to none. I would have no hesitation in recommending using Jake for any of the services Precise Performance offer.

Had my bike fit with Jake a couple of weeks ago through a recommendation. Great service and a great bloke!

Jake is very welcoming and we started by going through a number of questions for Jake to understand both the individual and cyclist, and ultimately to understand what I was hoping to achieve from the bike fit. I’ve never had a bike fit and only due to lockdown has the sport become an obsession. Give my newness to the sport, I was worried the wool would be pulled over my eyes but Jake was very honest with his views and opinions, he also explained everything down to the last detail, which I greatly appreciated.

The main issues were that I was experiencing some lower back issues, as I’d slipped a disc a few years back, as well some pain in my shoulders/back and feet. Through a thorough analysis of my body and riding style, Jake applied a few changes. The difference is night and day! I’m cycling much more efficiently and most importantly, comfortably than ever – the niggles have disappeared completely and I feel faster and stronger for it. Thanks Jake.

I had a bike fit with Jake a few weeks ago after a recommendation. Was the travel from MK worth it… Absolutely. First up Jake is a top bloke and his experience was really evident in a very professional studio. We made a number of changes over my previous bike fit (eg bar change which was never highlighted previously) and the changes were night and day.

I am not lying when I say that I have gained 2 kph average!

Highly recommended.

Being relatively new to road cycling, 2 years, a 29er for years, I realised that I was getting more uncomfortable as I increased my training during the lockdown period(2020). Hand numbness, shoulders/neck and lower back soreness during and post ride. A bike fit appeared to be part of the way forward, having done some research online I choose Jake@Precise-Performance, mainly based on the reviews on his website. Upon arrival Jake greeted me in the farmyard and helped me with my bike into the studio. . After the physical examination I jumped on my bike for the initial assessment. The problems were highlighted, changes made to the bike, a new saddle and handlebars, inserts into the shoes, the changes were noticeable straightaway. One change to happen is to reduce the stem length which Jake is helping me source. After 3 weeks with the changes made my riding has become much more controlled, improvements in all aspects of the physical discomforts and getting better each ride. Jake was very thorough in his questioning, professional in the approach and the equipment was first class. I would thoroughly recommend Jake for a bike fit.

Thank you for the very thorough bike fit!
It’s only been a few weeks into the new bike fit and I already feel the difference!
Thank you for being so responsive to all my follow up questions.

I contacted Jake following a recommendation from my colleague who was amazed by the difference a proper bike fit made to his riding. I have to admit I wasn’t sure how much benefit it would be but with pain in my arms, wrists, back and backside I thought it was worth a go. I found Jake to be very warm and happy to explain the whole process, when he made changes to the bike he did so having explained why and what the effect would be. As it happens, I didn’t need any major components such as the stem or saddle changing and there was absolutely no pressure from Jake for me to change things unnecessarily. He did offer some great advice on bib shorts which I’ve always avoided…why didn’t I change to them earlier?

With several prolapsed discs in my back, arthritis in my foot and a Quad strain I rode yesterday, with strong headwinds and was faster, more comfortable and carried on to 90km. I wish I had done this several years ago and I wouldn’t have any hesitation in suggesting you go to Jake and get your bike set up professionally for your body…you won’t regret it!

I contacted Jake with regards to a coaching inquiry and over a year later my cycling has drastically improved as a result. A few weeks ago I completed a full Retul bike fit including insoles to now allow me to ride more efficiently in comfort for longer.

The coaching, bike fit and insoles have changed the way I ride for the better and if you are considering any of these services I wouldn’t hesitate in getting them done.

Jake’s professionalism, knowledge and attention to detail at Precise Performance is excellent and I would highly recommend any of the services offered.

I had a bike fit with Jake last week. unbelievable difference, after a 4 hour ride aching in my neck and traps don’t exist which was frequent prior to the fitting. the bike rides completely differently as well, so much more enjoyable! Highly recommend working with Jake he knows his stuff!

Jake has been amazing, get myself, my bike and my shoes set up for some incredible races. He has set me up with custom insoles, this combined with the bike fit have been a game changer for the ultra distances I’m cycling. Would highly recommend Jake to anyone looking to be more efficient and powerful on the bike.

From the offset Jake was professional, his first poet of call was asking of any issues I had on the bike and started with an assessment of my flexibility. Obviously limited, unlike a lot of bike fitters he uses the tools to guide him to make the right choices not just doing what the computer says. I quite confidently say Instantly felt more comfortable on the bike after the changes and know what I need to do to help myself. One thing I particular appreciated was I never felt I was pressured to but anything I had already before the bike fit decided that insoles may be a good option, Jake talked me through all the information regard insoles spacers etc. At no point did I feel pressured to buy and he would work around me.

I have suggested him to numerous people. I think word of mouth is the best form of advertisement and I wouldn’t recommend someone unless I thought they were spot on.

It has to be said that before meeting Jake, I was a ‘reluctant’ cyclist. I started cycling a few years ago when I injured myself (I am a serious runner). I then decided to up my game and bought a decent road bike and mtb but was getting worse and worse neck and shoulder pain.

I then met Jake..he was incredibly thorough, went through all my issues with both running and cycling. Did an incredibly detailed assessment and the result is incredible. I now LOVE cycling, my running fitness is through the roof and I have had NO neck or shoulder pain at all and feel the fittest I have been in years.  Jake is now my ‘goto’ Person for cycling advice and I will be upgrading the road bike soon..as you do! I won’t be buying a bike without his guidance and without him setting it up for me.

For anyone considering him, just do it. It’s really changed how I cycle and my fitness so much for the better. He knows what he is doing and is a pleasure to work with.

Jake is brilliant. Attention to detail is right up there, nothing is overlooked. He did a fit on my TT and road bike. Both needed adjusting. Having had fits elsewhere before I was super impressed that he looked at my flexibility and strength before touching the bike – there’s no point in being in a fast position if you can’t walk or run when you get off it! He also re-aligned my cleats and sorted me out with a saddle. Don’t delay, book a spot your body will thank you for it.

I had a bike fit by Jake after many years not really feeling part of my bike. He set it up specifically for bike packing ultra’s. The first ride I felt very comfortable and the usual niggles went away. Good job Jake!

Clearly very knowledgeable, helpful, clear and friendly. From the off I was made to feel everything was being done for my benefit, and worked together to discuss what the best options would be. The Retül system is phenomenal but its the operator that makes it such a great experience and massively recommended investment.

I went to Jake to fit my road bike and tri bike, he was brilliant. His attention to detail was amazing and he made sure everything was set up perfectly. Both bikes have been great I noticed the difference in my comfort and performance straight away. I would definitely recommend this fitting to other cyclists/triathletes.

I would highly recommend the bike fit service that Jake provides. Jake is friendly, helpful and an expert in bike fits. The fit focused on what was right for me and not just the best ‘on paper’ set up which is often offered by other bike fit services. It has helped me recover from an injury plus given me the knowledge to make further adjustments my self. The attention to detail was superb and at no point did I feel I was being rushed – the focus was on getting it right. Thanks Jake.

Jake is a professional. Absolutely thorough bike check and fit which I cannot fault and thank him enough. Adjustments took pressure off my knees immediately. I will be recommending him to my Tri Club as this sort of high quality service is in demand and very hard to find. Thank you Jake – looking forward to much more comfortable and injury prevention rides!

Jake is an all-round great guy and bike fit wizard.

Like most people, I have some discrepancies and injuries that means I need a bike fit. My main concern is with my hip that has mobility issues due to injury and arthritis.

I was also looking at purchasing a new bike and was debating on geometry, size and make. I was looking across a number of different manufacturers but couldn’t find a bike to test, luckily Jake was able to help. Using his bike jig we were able to test a few different models to see what frame size and geometry worked with my hip issue and what felt best for me. This was very reassuring knowing that I could be confident that I was going to buy a bike that would fit and be suitable and on purchase know I could have a fit. I booked and Jake tackled the fit which was probably an interesting challenge as my hip is stiff and unstable. The good news is what use to cause my pain whilst cycling and prevent me from spending time on the bike is now a non-issue. I don’t suffer from pain or discomfort thanks to Jake’s wizardry.

The other bonus is Jake is always available on email to help answer questions and concerns which I find incredibly valuable, giving his cycling career and knowledge around bike fit. I couldn’t recommend. him highly enough

Massive thank you to Jake at Precise Performance for getting me set up on my first TT bike. A very worthy investment for anyone looking to sit on a bike for hours on end! Especially if you plan to run immediately after that! Highly recommend first getting the sizing fit if you haven’t yet purchased a bike – really was invaluable and stopped me buying a bike that was the wrong size – the little spent up front was definitely worth avoiding a mistake worth thousands of pounds. After purchasing the bike, Jake was very thorough in accessing my positioning and physical capability to make sure I was comfortable on the bike and able to be aero for hours as well as run off the bike. Highly recommend a fit with Jake to make sure he catches all the tiny details that otherwise could be missed!

I will certainly be using Jake in the future for further bike fits and tweaks to my position.

A big thank you to Jake at Precise Performance for conducting such a thorough Retul bike fit for me. I had been experiencing lower back pain and knee pain, but on my rides since the fit the pains have subsided and my power has actually increased. I am returning to get a second fit, but this time on my TT bike (that he recommended to me based on my prior assessment). He is a really nice guy who definitely knows his stuff- and took the time to explain to me what he was doing and why he was doing it. I have found my experience with Jake very helpful and would recommend to anyone.

Having been a world tour rider I have had numerous bike fits over the years – I believe it is an integral part of man and machine synergy, purpose; improved efficiency. It is my ‘office’ ‘cockpit’ where many hours are devoted, so best to feel good. I had a bike fit with Jake in preparation for the year ahead racing professionally. Jake’s knowledge gives confidence, everything he says resonates with my description of how I feel on the bike. I explained my discomforts I had been experiencing for years on my bike, particularly my right leg. Jake made masterful alterations to the insoles, cleat position, handlebar width, saddle width, stem length, saddle height to name a few changes, we are talking subtle changes and not so subtle. Combined the effect coalesce bike and rider, feels like magic on the bike. I tell you, I went for a ride after these were made and I can say the effect is improved comfort, power transfer, stability supporting the feet and overall greater efficiency. I look forward to meeting with Jake again.

Just had some Retul footbeds made for me by Jake. He really knows his stuff and I highly recommend him.
I work in the bike trade and he is by far the best bike fit and bike performance specialist in the 3 counties.

Big thank you to Jake @ Precise-Performance for a really thorough and knowledgeable assessment of my new cycling position after being hit by a car. Jake did a great job working out what position I am now able to ride comfortably in so that the set-up of my new bike works for me.

Thoroughly recommend such a bike fit and coaching session.

Matthew Clifton

I had a bike fit (mtb) with Precise Performance as I was getting knee pain during and after longer rides. Jake made several small changes to my bike and shoes, showing me the difference each one made on the TV whilst I rode on the trainer.

I have ridden several times since and found I am climbing stronger and riding longer but have NO knee pain. Couldn’t be happier!

Jake took the time to use his obvious knowledge and skills and the excellent equipment to make the changes I had not realised I needed. If you have never had a bike fit before just book one with Jake now. You won’t regret it.

David Richards

I haven’t had a bike fit for 5 years and the changes we have made have been incredible. For anyone thinking about having a bike fit…do it, it really does make such a difference. Jake is fantastic, friendly and makes you feel completely at ease, I would highly recommend.

If you want a professional, efficient and valuable education that improves your cycle position, optimises your efficiency and most important mitigates your risk of injury – look no further! I’d never met Jake before and he was quick to identify my needs and worked with professionalism and efficiency that made the whole experience exceptionally valuable.

I got the bike fit for a specific ride which 400km in 2 days. I. I had only ever been 100km so it was a very daunting challenge. The bike fit made a monumental difference in both my comfort and speed. I don’t think I would have been able to do the ride if I had not done the bike fit.

Jake provided a first class fitting service. His knowledge, expertise, commitment and attention to detail plus a genuine interest in each client were all apparent from the start of my fitting. He has a relaxed yet professional approach to the whole process and takes as much time as is required; very much bespoke to each client. Equally importantly, the fitting has made an obvious difference to my road cycling and I am now more comfortable and, therefore relaxed in the ride.

Alasdair Cameron

I’ve experienced a bike fit before but that doesn’t even come close to expertise and analysis that you get from Jake. Starting with adjusting my cleat positions and making some foot beds to eliminate the pain I used to get on longer rides. Finishing with making adjustments to my position on the bike; seat height , handlebar reach and even the hoods! Instantly I felt more relaxed and comfortable. Thanks Jake. Can’t recommend enough.

Guy Rowson

Having a history of lower back/glute issues, its safe to say after a month of riding in my new position these are becoming less and less of a problem. Jake not only addressed this issue but also followed up to ensure I was satisfied with my new position and suggested some very minor adjustments to fully ‘bed me in’. Jake is professional and friendly and gives excellent feedback throughout the session. The adjustments have made me feel like I am no longer fighting for comfort. This now comes naturally and I cannot wait start racing this year. Thanks Jake!

Superb bike fit with Jake – unrushed, thorough & excellent value for money. All aspects chatted through so I was also educated! No unnecessary alterations – follow up included to ensure excellent after care service.

Too old for a bike fit?

I thought I was but when my son overtook me and said, “You ride lopsided, your left knee kicks out and your right knee kicks in, you should get a fit”. It made me think, I am quite happy to buy a carbon bike with Di2 and upgrade to carbon wheels, so maybe it’s worth investing in a bike fit?

So, nothing ventured, nothing gained, I visited Jake at Precise Performance. I was quite apprehensive having cycled for 50 years, could this young guy make a difference, was I to set in my ways to change? Jake’s friendly greeting immediately puts you at ease and you quickly realise he has good technical expertise in body and biometrics, not just measuring and positioning on the bike.

So from my session, what did I learn? A in-balance in my pelvis, one leg slightly longer, one leg takes a different path under load. I was also pleased to know my flexibility was good! I came away with some adjustments to my cleat position, insoles for my shoes, saddle height raised and a narrower handlebar. It was good to know that I was using the correct saddle and naturally sitting in the correct position.

So how was I riding after the adjustments? The most notable adjustment were the insoles to help correct my “lopsided” riding style. The saddle height felt right, and I have a feeling of confidence that I know things are as right as they can be.

My visit to Precise Performance was an interesting and enjoyable experience that I would recommend to anyone that has a passion for cycling. It’s a shame I didn’t do it 50 years ago.

Jake was professional, extremely knowledgeable and friendly. He has managed to change my bike so that I no longer have shoulder and neck ache when cycling and just feel far stronger on the bike. Wouldn’t hesitate recommending Jake to any cyclist.

Jake is a nice guy and very thorough with the bike fit. I definitely noticed a difference (for the better) on my next ride after the fitting.

As a runner beginning training for my first full distance triathlon I have limited bike knowledge and experience. Jake was positive, professional, and patient, giving great advice and support throughout the fit. There has been a marked improvement in my riding with reduced aches/soreness, and I feel more connected and in control of the bike with what feels like increased power up the hills. I have recommended Jake’s service to friends.

I was very impressed with the attention to detail in my bike fit with Jake – he is clearly very experienced and able to spot the areas that make the biggest difference in fit and performance. It’s also good to work with someone who is not looking to sell additional kit but who will get the best from what you already have. In my case he made some significant adjustments to the saddle and bar height – I was slightly concerned as I went on a cycling trip to Majorca 2 days later but the fit clearly worked as after over 500km of cycling I was more comfortable on my bike than I have been for years.Highly Recommended!

After many trips to the physio and putting up with months of discomfort on the bike due to hip/lower back issues I decided that it was time to get a bike fit as it had been a fair few years since my last one. A number of riders I know have been to see Jake and having checked out his website I thought he would be the best person based on his experience and the Retul technology he uses. It was easy to get booked in at a convenient time thanks to the range of times on offer and Jake was great at explaining everything he was doing so you get an in depth understanding of what changes were being made and why.  The result for me was a change in saddle, a big change in saddle height and some tweaks to my bar height and width as well as some cleat adjustments. By the end of the fit I felt much more comfortable on the bike and it has only got better in the weeks that have followed.

I highly recommend Jake if you are looking for a professional and knowledgeable bike fitter who takes the time to make sure you are kept informed of each step in the process.

I came to see Jake after experiencing some knee pain and deciding that I wanted to assess my position on the bike in case this was contributing. He came highly recommended by two friends. I work long hours and was immediately impressed by how easy it was for me to make an appointment to fit around my schedule. I was able to book a bike fit within a week of making contact. Jake was very thorough and professional. I felt confident that he knew exactly what he was talking about and had the equipment to get my position on the bike accurately set up. He did not have the kit to make Retul insoles at the time I went for my bike fit, but contacted my when he did and I was able to get these made up very quickly.

Since seeing Jake my knee has started to improve and I feel a lot more comfortable on the bike. My feet also feel much better supported with a new set of insoles!

Getting a bike fit was on my list of things to do for about a year. After attending a very interesting and well presented talk on the subject by Jake at my local club night I decided to get on with it and stop delaying. As someone who races, I went along to the fit with mainly one thing in mind, get into as an aggressive position as my body would allow, also, i’ve always had issues with being uncomfortable on my saddle. Jake asked me about my goals, previous injuries and my history as a cyclist, amongst other things. He answered all of my questions along the way, he was very thorough. So, a few changes and a new saddle later, i’m more comfortable, more aggressive and my saddle issues are a distant memory. I absolutely love my new position. Jake is an absolute pleasure to work with, he really listens to you, is very friendly, and has a great sense of humour, all this lead to a very enjoyable experience, I must say. If you’re umming and ahing over getting a bike fit, stop now, and go and get one done.

I thought bike fits were only for serious riders but after 10 years of social riding I purchased a new bike and was advised by fellow cyclists that a bike fit would be worthwhile. I first met Jake when he gave a presentation to my local club and was very impressed.
The process was as thorough as Jake had described checking all aspects of my riding position and flexibility, firstly visually and then with the aid of the Retul technology. The result was a change to the saddle I was using and raising its height, the handlebars were lowered and the position of my cleats adjusted. Overall, I was very impressed and consider the cost, which includes a 1hour follow up, to be money well spent.

With the race season approaching and never having had a bike fit, I decided to get one with Jake at Precise Performance. Jake went through my cycling history and my goals moving forward in order that the fit could be tailored for my aims and goals. Jake explained every exercise we were doing and the reasons/benefit of them. The whole bike fit felt very personal to my needs and the changes which have been made to me and my bike during the session have transferred comfortably and easily onto the road. I would highly recommend Precise Performance and I look forward to my 6 week follow-up session.

Having only discovered the joys of road cycling last year I have spent the winter with excruciating arm pain needing steroid injections linked to spending a lot of time in the saddle. After spending a lot of time and money on physio/ massage appointments someone recommended that I make an appointment with Jake. He was so attentive and every aspect of my riding position was addressed and in my case altered!! My first ride out after the bike fit was incredible- no arm pain and a month later and numerous rides later all my pain and discomfort have disappeared- Thank you!

I would highly recommend Jake as he has truly transformed my cycling experience.

I have been riding for nearly 20 years and never had a proper bike fit. Jake came to my house, took measurements, wired me up to the computer and then made various adjustments to the bike and my shoes. He was a pleasure to work with, fun and clearly very knowledgeable about bikes. The whole experience was an absolute dream. The real test came afterwards…I’ve now ridden my bike twice since the fit and what a positive difference. I’ve always enjoyed riding but now it’s so much more pleasurable. Don’t make the mistake i made, book a bike fit with Jake now, the benefits are amazing.

Having had my last bike fit three years ago I was starting to feel some discomfort and suffering a little bit from saddle sores, decided to book an hour-long Basic Bike fit with Jake in November 18. Jake was extremely helpful with the booking I ended up messaging him on Instagram and he was extremely helpful and organised an appointment for me.

When I turned up, he was really welcoming set my bike up on the turbo for me while I got changed. Sat me on the retul saddle tool which recommended a few saddles that may suit me. Started pedaling and slowly adjusted saddle height, saddle set back and angle and the saddle itself which made an unbelievable difference to comfort. He had noticed from the way I was sitting on the saddle that there was a leg discrepancy from a cleat stack from a previous fit that wasn’t required. Once this was removed and adjustments made to the front end of the position felt like a dream pedaling.

Over the following weeks of long winter training and discomfort had disappeared and the bike felt like a dream to ride. This resulted in me going back to Jake in the February for him to transfer the position onto my summer bike. The saddle he fitted was that comfortable that I went and bought another one for my summer bike.

I have already recommended the services to a friend of mine who also had the same great experience and would continue to recommend Jake to everyone. Easy to talk to and very knowledgeable.

Jake provided me with a great bike fit, very professional service using the cutting edge retul technology available. Jakes experience and practical application of this data resulted in me feeling the best and most comfortable on the bike I have in years. I would recommend Jake to anyone looking for a fit.

I have had a bike fit with Jake, he was absolutely lovely and made me feel relaxed as I was a little nervous. We spent some time chatting and he then did a physical assessment which took longer than I expected and was very thorough. We then moved onto the bike and made several changes. It has made a huge difference to my riding and how I feel on the bike.

I can highly recommend Jake!

Having raced and ridden a fair bit over the last 15 years, with several bike fits through that time, I thought I was pretty much dialled with regards position on the bike. As expected, most things were on point, but Jake’s keen eye and expertise found some minors adjustments that have had positive results. Changing saddles was the biggest difference, something never recognised in all other fittings, but the comfort is immeasurable (ahem). With minor tweaks to cleat positioning and saddle height, I feel more comfortable and more powerful on the bike. Jake has given me the best fit I’ve experienced. It’s a shame he wasn’t around in 2005!

Jake is a great professional with a lot of knowledge and experience in cycling and bike fitting. He helped me optimise my position on the bike and I’ve already started seeing a positive difference when riding. Jake’s very friendly and approachable and I’d recommend Precise-Performance to anyone who’s looking to benefit from a bike fit.

My first visit to Precise Performance and definitely not my last, a very relaxing and professional atmosphere and Jake is very knowledgeable fitter. Clear explanations as to why one position is more beneficial than the other. A real understanding of rider feedback and adjusting to get the best all round fit.

Jacob Hennessy, Mitchelton-SCOTT

For some reason a bike is something you feel you can just get on and ride. You don’t necessarily think about shoe position, seat height, type of saddle or arm reach. Luckily Jake does think about those things. In a few fun filled hours Jake had fitted me properly on my three babies, two road bikes and one watt bike and the difference is incredible. I feel so comfortable on the bike now that even indicating left is no longer an issue (and no I don’t mean on the watt bike!). Thanks Jake – money and time well spent!

Craig Fisher

Had a fit with Jake and have instantly felt the difference. His depth of knowledge and experience meant he was able to make sensible adjustments to meet my needs and body. Now feeling more confident going forward to this years training and race season knowing my bike is dialed in to suit me!!
Do not hesitate to book your fit!!

I went to see Jake as I hadn’t had a bike fit in years. Over time I’d lost the original fit position I had due to changing and tweaking things here and there so I was intrigued as to how far off my position was. I chose Jake because I like to spend my money on local business when I can, I also took into account Jake’s reputation within the local cycling scene, so it made perfect sense to choose Precise Performance. Jake went in to detail on every aspect of the fit and I walked away very happy and feeling like it was money well spent. Most of the adjustments made were to do with my cleat set up and insoles, an area I had never considered before. I felt the difference from the first ride and would recommend him to anyone.

Ryan Hawkins

It’s fair to say this guy nailed my position. The night before leaving for Mallorca for 2.5wks Jake squeezed me in. With a load of tweaks incl. a decent raise & a change of saddle, dropped bars, cleat wedges & sole inserts all of my niggles have gone & after 1200 miles I am seriously comfortable & feeling pretty rapido.

When I got some power-meter pedals a couple of years ago, I discovered a massive left-right leg imbalance: sometimes as little as 34% of my power was coming from my left leg, and as much as 66% from my right. I’d tried my own adjustments: saddle up to alleviate cramp, saddle down to alleviate back ache, saddle in just the right place to get backache and cramp at the same time!

Just before Christmas, I headed to meet Jake at his studio. We spent the first hour talking about my aims for the year and measuring my basic body structure and flexibility. On a first spin on the bike, Jake immediately realised I’d make a model patient! Lots of things to adjust. The Retul system that Jake uses is quite sophisticated. It uses sensors placed on feet, knees, thighs and so on, to track movement using 3D cameras. Jake can then adjust, to get everything in balance and tracking properly. My saddle was too narrow, so I was tilting to one side – this would probably account for some of the imbalance. My saddle was too low, my handlebars too high. These are all the more coarse adjustments. We then moved onto finer adjustments like foot contact and rotation on the pedal. Some well-placed shims inside and outside my shoes ensured that my legs tracked evenly up and down.

I’ve done some easy and hard sessions on the turbo. I went out for 42-mile ride and my power trace when I got back home said 49-51%. I went out for a 66-mile out and back ride, spinning hard on the way out and powering back. The trace this time was 47-53%.

A couple of years ago I took a very worthwhile trip to see Jake Yarranton for a comprehensive bike fit. I had a fantastic experience as Jake is very knowledgeable, took the time to thoroughly assess all relevant factors, and cared to provide me with the most optimal bike fit possible. I had been wanting a bike fit like this for awhile as I had always had some funky asymmetries on the bike. It was really great to have these issues properly addressed and sorted out! Jake is very kind, cares to help, and does an excellent job. It was such a positive experience and I highly recommend Jake to anyone looking for a thorough and optimal bike fit!

My bike fit with Jake was money extremely well spent. Going into the session I wasn’t aware of any issues with my setup, but I was impressed with Jake’s knowledge and the way that he explained in detail why he was suggesting every change that he made to my fit. Now I feel more comfortable and relaxed on the bike, and I find it easier to put more power down when climbing. I’m a club social rider, and I would highly recommend Precise Performance’s services to anyone who rides.

Many thanks to Jake at Precise Performance for conducting a very thorough and professional Retul bike fit for me; absolutely outstanding service! I have been having a few imbalances on/off the bike for some time now so decided to see Jake. I cannot praise him enough; really nice guy who knows his stuff.I am looking forward to witnessing the changes and improvements going into next season

An eye-opening bike fit session which was exceptionally professional and identified and fixed, multiple issues with my set up. I’m now looking forward to a new riding experience and my follow up session.

Jake was excellent throughout (once you find the right building). I can’t recommend this highly enough.

I thought I had dialed in my ride pretty well from my own adjustments. It wasn’t until Jake made further adjustments that I realised how much better it was – I was much more comfortable riding for longer and my average pace increased also. I would highly recommend a fit with Jake to anyone!
