Bike fit for Costa Mesa riders, with Ed at Veloaded Cyclery

Why Costa Mesa riders book a fit

Costa Mesa sits a few miles from the Back Bay and the coast, and the Santa Ana River Trail runs down the city's west side past Fairview Park. Newport Coast Drive is the nearby climb when you want hills. Riders here tend to stack up a lot of short, frequent rides, which is where a small fit problem turns into a nagging one.

The shop is just over the city line, so this is the easiest fit to follow up on: if something needs a small change after a week or two of riding, you're a short trip up Fairview from home.

Getting to the shop from Costa Mesa

Veloaded Cyclery is one shop, in Santa Ana at 3420 W MacArthur Blvd Suite B, Santa Ana, CA 92704: about 3.1 road miles from Costa Mesa City Hall, roughly 10–20 min off-peak (approximate, from OpenStreetMap routing; rush-hour traffic on the 405, 5 and 55 can add a lot).

From Costa Mesa City Hall (77 Fair Dr), go north on Fairview Rd and cross over the 405; Fairview becomes S Fairview St at the Santa Ana line. Turn left (west) on W MacArthur Blvd; the shop is about half a mile along, in Suite B. From the South Coast Plaza area, take Bristol St or Fairview north to MacArthur and head west.

What the fit with Ed includes

• A conversation first: how and where you ride, anything that hurts or goes numb, old injuries, and what you want to change
• On your own bike, while you pedal: changes are made one at a time and checked with you
• Contact points: saddle height, setback and tilt; reach and drop; brake lever and shifter position; cleat position
• Road, triathlon, gravel and mountain bikes of any brand, wherever you bought them
• Parts quoted first: if the fit calls for a different stem, bar or saddle, you hear why and the price before anything is ordered

It's the same full fit described on our bike fit Orange County and bike fit Santa Ana pages, at the same shop. Fit prices aren't published online; the price and time are confirmed with you when you book.

Repairs, frames and wheels on the same trip

• Repair and service, any brand: bike repair for Costa Mesa riders, tune-ups, brake bleeds, Di2 and AXS, tubeless and wheel truing and builds
• Bikes and frames: authorized dealer for Colnago and Pinarello, plus Cervélo and Bianchi. Ed can size you before a bike or frame is ordered, and custom builds start from the frame you choose. Request a bike quote.
• Shipped bikes, frames and wheels accepted: if dropping off doesn't suit you, call (657) 744-9442 or email veloadedcyclery@gmail.com first to arrange it and get a service ticket, then ship to the shop and ask about return shipping details (ship your bike).
