See my previous review for a fuller description of my experience, but I just went back for a less comprehensive and more focused 'check up fit' almost a year after my first visit to see Nuno and wanted to review that session. This visit was about optimising and confirming my fit for a few very specific applications on two bikes that Nuno fitted late last year. I used the 'Check Up Fit' service which is new this year and made a whole lot of sense given that I was a returning customer and we'd previously looked at my fit on these bikes. It was an extremely efficient session and we were able to get straight into the details because I already knew my fit was pretty close, and I knew exactly what I wanted to achieve. Nuno was, as ever, knowledgeable, thorough, and really effective at helping me dial into my fit goals. Along the way he also diagnosed a couple of new physiological imbalances that I could never have perceived on my own, so we also addressed those partly in fitting and partly in prescribing some mobility exercises. I'll reiterate the conclusion from my previous review - Orbis Lab is the place to go if you want really solid biomechanical-research-backed support and want to be an active participant in your fitting journey. The addition of the Check Up Fit service now also makes it much more efficient and affordable to make return visits to update and fine tune your fit on a regular basis. It should come as no surprise with someone in the science/health/fitness realm, but Nuno's COVID safety is good too. He has been very careful and considered in deciding how and when to reopen post-lockdown, and though we didn't actually discuss any safety measures on the day, everything you'd expect was in place (both of us masked, etc.)

Nuno was professional and friendly from the moment I walked into the lab. Giving a detailed explanation of everything that he was doing, he made sure I was comfortable with all aspects of my examination and bike fit. What really impressed me was how honest he was and how knowledgable he was on how my specific injury affected the way I rode. In addition, Nuno didn’t seem to judge at the fact I was a novice to cycling and the fact I was female. I will definitely be back for his expertise! Thanks Nuno!

Took my son for a pre-buy fit to ensure he was getting the correct frame size, cranks, bars, stem & saddle. Nuno is so knowledgeable, professional, friendly and great at explaining everything. He’s clearly passionate about what he does, and my son thoroughly enjoyed the bike fitting. He’s so looking forward to coming back for the final fitting when the new bike arrives. Highly recommended. Thank you Nuno.

I went to see Nuno after a couple of solid recommendations to fix some issues that I have on the bike, very insightful and to my surprise the issues weren't what I thought they were! No inherent issues with my bike setup which his gadgets and saddle pressure mapping showed to be spot on but some valuable input into some previous injuries that are causing me to compensate and knocking me off a bit - the benefits of a PHD in Biomechanics I expect! Little tweak to my cleat position and solid advise on shoe sizing was great. Very chilled atmosphere and Nuno takes pride in his work taking the time to discuss and explain everything to you. Luckily I didn't need to trial any other saddles but he had several available if that had been the case, no pushy sales pitch here just a good experience to dial in on the bike. His motto was, enjoy the ride and leave the rest to him :)

Nuno was incredibly attentive throughout the bike fit and has a great eye for detail. His explanations on how to resolve issues were full of useful information and it was highly enjoyable as well. I would absolutely recommend his high quality service at a fantastic price.

Great service, well informed bike fit, good advice and a range of options to try out

Excellent service - goes above and beyond! Nuno is very knowledgeable and provides a world class service! Easy to get to his workplace and very professional.

I signed up for a1000 bike ride toMilan and bought a new bike.A pal put me onto Nuno at Orbis who has state of the art bike fit lab He advised on various adjustments to achieve the most comfortable ride position for the trip He examined me and gave me a list of exercises to prepare for the trip,advice on nutrition He helped me try various sample saddles over a long test period I can confirm that his advice was spot on Nuno thanks for your help Gerry

Exceptionally professional service and I also learned so much about my cycling physiology from from head to toe (literally!). Would highly recommend bike and saddle fitting service.

Nuno is an expert in his field. A very experienced rider, an athlete and a powerhouse of knowledge. Going for a bike fit with Nuno was just what I needed. His expertise covers everything from the type of exercises you should be doing to maintain your cycling and general fitness right down to the width of shoes, which is often overlooked in other, less thorough bike fits. Brilliant all round. Would highly recommend.

I was recommended to give Orbis Lab a visit for a cycle fitting as I was going to undertake a two week charity cycle tour to Europe. I found Nuno extremely helpful to my needs. He took all the time it needed to go through every aspect of my challenge and indeed I felt he was invested my comfort and safety. The time passed quickly thanks to Nuno’s engaging manner and although I required a good deal of kit there was no hint of any hard sell. To my untrained eyes all of the kit in the lab looked state of the art. I have no hesitation in recommending Nuno and Orbis Lab.

I can't recommend Orbis Lab enough! Very professional and everything is undertaken using an evidence based approach and you receive a full written report afterwards to keep and refer back to. Nuno is knowledgable, experienced, professional and friendly. I benefitted very much from a road bike fit with Orbis Lab last year and then I umm'd and ahh'd over whether I really needed either a shoe fit or a saddle fit because I figured I'd been managing for 3 years without. I decided to just try both as I spend so much time riding and comfort and efficiency for performance is essential to me. I'm still so glad that I did - Both services were incredibly extensive and I benefitted from them. I think all riders would benefit from having a shoe fit in particular. The shoe/foot assessment resulted in me moving my cleat position, using smaller width pedals and using a set of insoles which gives me more comfort, stops me bending my toes up and I feel better able to transfer power. I love the insoles. Fully recommend!

Nuno provides a very professional and welcoming service and puts a little bit of fun into bike fitting and other services he provides. Very knowledgeable and easy going experience. Very obvious that he loves his work and wants the customer to get the most out of it. Can’t recommend him highly enough.

Excellent service! Nuno is a passionate expert who is generous with his knowledge and gives excellent after sales service. I can't recommend him enough.

I had a bike fit, with cleat positioning/angles, and bike geometry, and a peak power test. Orbis is a very well equipped lab, with a range of different components to try and a computer-controlled fitting bike. Nuno, the owner, started measuring my bike, reproducing the exact geometry on the fitting bike, and starting from there. Nuno and his colleague are extremely professional and knowledgeable in both bike engineering and the biomechanics of the human body. Nuno is so passionate that was explaining me the effect of every change in geometry, which means I know more now and can also try small changes myself. Very pleasant experience and also informative. Would happily recommend.

I received an extremely thorough bike fit and performance test at the Orbis Lab. the facility is brilliant with access to advances testing technology and a massive range of saddles to test. The service is second to none. Nuno is friendly, honest and extremely informative.

My name is Paulo Conde and I am a triathlon coach. At Orbis-Lab and Dr. Nuno, I found what I had been looking for for many years. It met my questions and doubts. A scientifically based exhibition, with full availability, interest and impatience. Someone very interested and interesting. Tanks Dr. Nuno.

I contacted Orbis Lab during lockdown as I was having problems with my saddle, and Nuno helped me find my perfect saddle so that I can ride without pain! He's very knowledgeable and friendly overall, and I appreciated that he's always up to date on recent scientific studies. Biggest range of saddles in the UK as well, so no brand bias here!
