Client Records
Profiles, contact details, measurements, rider goals, symptoms, intake context, equipment notes, and follow-up status.
A practitioner-grade workflow for turning messy ride files into defensible before/after evidence. Import dual-sided pedal telemetry, validate the signal, compare interventions, and export clean client reports while keeping rider evidence local to the practitioner's browser.
Post-change file shows reduced L/R imbalance and stable torque effectiveness after telemetry cleaning.
Whether you are documenting a fit intervention, supporting a rehab-informed rider plan, or optimising mechanical work in a wind tunnel, DialedRide KineMetric translates raw sensor streams into studio-ready evidence.
Connect position changes to measurable rider response. Compare before/after sessions, spot asymmetries, and identify whether adjustments are improving comfort, consistency, and mechanical efficiency.
Monitor the mechanical efficiency of training positions over time. Track changes in torque effectiveness, pedalling smoothness, and L/R power balance to confirm that performance gains are biomechanically sustainable.
Validate telemetry before analysis. Screen for cadence spikes, sensor dropouts, outliers, and recording gaps so rider datasets remain clean, comparable, and research-ready..
DialedRide KineMetric does not compete with motion capture or video-analysis systems. It represents the crucial missing link in a professional practitioner's workflow: standardising the kinetic outcomes of kinematic adjustments.
Tools like Retül 3D infrared trackers, VeloFit AI video models, or pressure-mapping insoles are standard for studio geometry setup. They capture dynamic rider angles, knee extensions, reach parameters, and mechanical body alignments under controlled, brief indoor trials.
DialedRide KineMetric does not measure joint angles or record video. It analyses standard .fit files from rides recorded with power meters to validate telemetry quality, compare rider mechanics, and show whether position changes are reflected in cleaner, more symmetrical mechanical output.
The Professional Workflow Loop: First, use 3D Kinematics (like Retül or VeloFit) to establish the ideal rider joint geometry in the laboratory. Next, use DialedRide KineMetric to parse real-world telemetry logs and check whether the changes are associated with better symmetry, delayed fatigue markers, and more repeatable kinetic output.
DialedRide Kinemetric is fundamentally hardware-agnostic. The processing engine is built to read and analyse standard .fit files generated by any high-resolution, dual-sided power meter or head unit.
Following testing to ensure data accuracy and reliable file export, we have outlined a Recommended Hardware Ecosystem.
These hardware references are compatibility guidance only. DialedRide does not sell the products listed here; third-party supplier links will be added later.
Standard .fit activity files from high-resolution, dual-sided telemetry hardware.
DialedRide KineMetric runs directly in your web browser. No specialist desktop software, proprietary platforms, or developer setup is required.
Alternative off-road standards—such as Crankbrothers Eggbeaters—do not support dual-sided power spindles. For riders using these systems, the recommended protocol is a temporary pedal substitution using the rider's own shoes.
Because our recommended off-road option (Option C) uses the universal Shimano SPD cleat interface, a studio only needs to keep a standard set of loose two-bolt SPD cleats in a drawer. During an assessment, the client’s proprietary pedals are swapped for the dual-sided power pedals, and the standard SPD cleats are temporarily fitted to their existing shoes. This ensures that any recorded torque asymmetries are purely biomechanical rather than an artefact of mechanical pedal play.
We built DialedRide KineMetric to handle the actual frustrations of evidence-led bike fitting: inconsistent rider records, incomplete ride files, and the difficulty of showing whether a position change carried into cleaner mechanical output.
Real-world ride files vary in quality. DialedRide KineMetric scans incoming .fit files, checks that usable power, cadence, L/R balance, torque effectiveness, and pedal smoothness channels are present, filters impossible outliers, and logs validation warnings before the file is used for analysis.
KineMetric is not just a PDF generator. It is a local practitioner workspace for client records, source files, ride evidence, intervention notes, report assembly, archive export, and studio-branded outputs.
Profiles, contact details, measurements, rider goals, symptoms, intake context, equipment notes, and follow-up status.

Run the quality gate, assemble selected sections, and archive the studio-branded client output.
Back up the full local case package when the client record or source evidence needs to move devices.
KineMetric does not just summarise a ride average. It segments the file by cumulative workload and shows whether torque effectiveness, pedalling smoothness, L/R balance, asymmetry, and cadence remain stable as the rider moves deeper into the session.
The durability report gives practitioners a structured way to separate one-off ride noise from repeatable mechanical drift, then document the workload window where technique changes when a threshold crossing is present. RPM context helps show whether those changes coincide with a shift in pedalling rhythm.
First threshold crossing isolated on declining TE and rising ASI inside the terminal workload segment.
Cadence bands help practitioners identify where recorded technique quality was strongest, then review whether lower-cadence, higher-torque efforts are associated with TE or ASI decay.
Events are listed by time window, cumulative kJ range, duration, and peak z-score for practitioner review.
Explore a representative KineMetric comparison using cleaned .fit telemetry. Switch between baseline and follow-up files to see how the app reports data coverage, L/R balance, torque effectiveness, pedalling smoothness, and review-threshold evidence without prescribing a fit change or diagnosis.
Flagship Report: Coach Unified Report generated on 26/06/2026 from six road rides recorded between 31/05/2026 and 21/06/2026.
Comparability Status: High comparability. Terrain, ride type, and elevation load were broadly comparable across the selected road files.
Evidence Focus: The report tracks fatigue resistance, ASI shift, L/R balance, torque effectiveness, pedal smoothness, and workload-segment behaviour without making a diagnosis or prescribing a fit change.
When a rider's files are terrain-matched, KineMetric gives practitioners a cleaner view of mechanical progression. The comparison can stay focused on durability, symmetry, and technique markers rather than being distorted by mixed ride conditions.
Across six comparable road rides, the longitudinal page compares the earliest and latest sessions, then averages the full set to show which metrics improved, regressed, or stayed stable.
Fatigue Resistance increased from 96.3/100 to 99.4/100, while ASI shift reduced from 1.8% to 0.2%. Overall ASI stayed broadly stable, moving from 3.30% to 3.40% across the baseline and follow-up comparison.
Torque effectiveness remained stable overall, moving from 65.5% to 64.5%, while TE efficiency decay was the one regressed metric in the summary. That gives the practitioner a balanced record: durability and ASI shift improved, while one efficiency-decay marker remained flagged for review.
A second report including a gravel file produced a context-only comparison. The same mechanical channels remained useful, but KineMetric explicitly warned that speed, heart-rate, and power changes should be reviewed inside terrain-matched groups before making wider claims.
Together, the two reports show both sides of the product: strong progression evidence when files are comparable, and clear caveats when the rider archive is messier.
Adding the gravel file changed the same rider archive from high comparability to a context-only comparison. KineMetric still reported the mechanical channels, but clearly marked which trend claims needed terrain-matched review.
A fitter-facing reference for hardware choices, file quality, telemetry interpretation, rider privacy, and the assessment workflow. Hardware compatibility can change, so always check the current manufacturer guidance before buying or modifying equipment.
Rider records and imported activity data stay on the user's device, not on a DialedRide server.
For the strongest analysis, use a bike-mounted head unit that records standard .fit files, plus a dual-sided power meter that records cadence, power, L/R balance, and pedal dynamics where available. Our preferred options are the Favero Assioma and Garmin Rally ranges of pedals.
Single-sided power can still support workload, power, cadence, and general ride-context review. For L/R balance, asymmetry, torque effectiveness, pedal smoothness, and workload-linked durability analysis, use files recorded with true dual-sided data.
Pedal-based dual-sided systems usually provide the richest data because they measure force at the rider's contact point. The Favero Assioma and Garmin Rally ranges of pedals are good candidates as they export the required fields.
Yes, but with limits. These systems can provide useful total power and cadence data, and some provide left/right estimates. They usually do not provide the same pedal-stroke detail as dual-sided pedal systems.
No. KineMetric is designed around standard ride file telemetry rather than a single brand ecosystem. Garmin Cycling Dynamics-style fields are valuable when present because they add detail about left/right contribution and pedal stroke behaviour.
To analyze micro-level biomechanics, DialedRide KineMetric relies on a layer of data called Advanced Cycling Dynamics. Most dual-sided power meters provide standard power, cadence, and left/right balance, but not all broadcast the deeper telemetry required for detailed pedalling analysis.
We group dual-sided systems into three practical compatibility levels:
| Compatibility Level | What Data We Can Extract | Common Examples |
|---|---|---|
| Full Dynamics Gold Standard | Total power, cadence, L/R balance, power phase start/end/peak, seated/standing tracking, and platform center offset (PCO). | Garmin Rally series, Favero Assioma PRO line (MX / RS / RL). |
| Partial Dynamics Legacy High-Tier | Total power, cadence, L/R balance, power phase, and seated/standing tracking without PCO. | Favero Assioma Duo / Duo-Shi legacy pod versions. |
| Basic Dual-Side Minimalist | Total power, cadence, and L/R balance only. No advanced biomechanics. | Wahoo POWRLINK ZERO, Stages Power L/R, 4iiii Precision PRO. |
If your hardware is in the full or partial dynamics group but the advanced data fields are empty, the issue is usually in pairing or recording rather than the pedals themselves.
Garmin Edge units are the safest recommendation because they are widely used with pedal dynamics hardware and produce detailed .fit files. Other head units may work if they preserve power, cadence, left/right balance, torque effectiveness, and pedal smoothness fields.
Often, yes, if the exported .fit file contains the required telemetry fields. Hammerhead Karoo 2 files have been tested extensively with KineMetric: the data is accurate and comprehensive, although the .fit file needs to be downloaded from the Hammerhead dashboard. For Wahoo, Bryton, and smartphone apps, check that the export preserves the channels KineMetric needs.
Yes. Indoor files can be useful for controlled repeat testing. Smart trainer power is useful for workload and effort review, but it is not a substitute for dual-sided pedal data because it does not measure force contribution at each pedal.
No, not as a recommended or supported configuration. Favero Assioma DUO-Shi is designed for compatible Shimano SPD-SL road pedal bodies, not Shimano SPD MTB pedal bodies. Favero's off-road SPD option is the Assioma PRO MX range, with the PRO MX-2 providing dual-sided measurement.
Yes, but only with the compatible Shimano SPD-SL road pedal bodies specified by Favero. Commonly listed bodies include Shimano PD-R8000, PD-R7000, PD-6800, PD-R550, and PD-R540. Do not assume every Shimano pedal body will fit.
Yes. Standard Favero Assioma DUO pedals use a Look Keo-style cleat interface. They are not Shimano SPD or SPD-SL pedal bodies.
Yes. Favero Assioma PRO MX is the cleaner Favero option for SPD-style gravel and MTB use. For KineMetric work, the dual-sided PRO MX-2 is the more complete choice.
Yes. Temporarily substitute a known dual-sided power pedal system while keeping the rider on their own bike and, where possible, their own shoes or equivalent shoe setup. Document the substitution so the report is clear.
It can. Stack height, stance width, cleat position, float, and shoe interface can all influence how the rider moves. Replicate the normal setup as closely as possible and note any unavoidable differences.
Inspect contact points before testing. Replace badly worn cleats, check that pedals spin normally, confirm there is no excessive bearing play, and make sure the cleat engages securely.
KineMetric is primarily designed around .fit files because they can contain detailed power, cadence, and pedal dynamics telemetry. .gpx files may be useful for route context but usually do not contain the same power-meter detail.
A valid file can be parsed. A useful for studio decisions file contains enough clean, active pedalling data to support the interpretation being made. A file can be technically valid but still too sparse, noisy, or incomplete for strong conclusions.
Common reasons include missing power data, missing cadence data, absent left/right fields, no pedal dynamics channels, excessive sensor gaps, or insufficient active pedalling samples.
KineMetric applies validation and filtering logic before interpretation. The goal is not to rewrite the ride, but to prevent obvious sensor artefacts from driving the analysis.
KineMetric detects and filters these periods before calculating pedal-stroke summaries. Pauses, coasting intervals, zero-cadence sections, and other inactive samples are treated separately from active pedalling so they do not skew torque effectiveness, pedal smoothness, asymmetry, or workload-based interpretation.
Yes, but control the context as much as possible. Terrain, fatigue, wind, equipment, shoes, cleats, rider intent, and ride duration can all affect the comparison.
A traditional fit often measures body position, joint angles, and equipment geometry. KineMetric looks at kinetic outcomes: how the rider applies force over time, under load, and under fatigue.
Kinematics describes movement and position. Kinetics describes force and workload. KineMetric helps validate whether a positional change improved force production, symmetry, and durability.
Torque effectiveness measures how much of the pedal stroke contributes positive driving torque. Pedal smoothness describes how evenly force is applied through the stroke. Both should be interpreted alongside power, cadence, fatigue, and rider context.
It shows how power or force contribution differs between sides. Small asymmetries are common. Persistent, worsening, or fatigue-linked asymmetry may be more meaningful, especially when it matches rider symptoms or fit observations.
It can help provide evidence. If before-and-after files are comparable, KineMetric can show whether symmetry, efficiency, or fatigue resistance improved after an intervention.
No. KineMetric can support biomechanical observation and professional reasoning, but it is not a diagnostic or medical decision-making tool. Injury diagnosis and treatment decisions should stay with appropriately qualified professionals.
Start with a clear question, record the rider's current equipment setup, import a clean baseline ride, review data quality, make any fit or equipment intervention, then compare with a follow-up file under similar conditions.
Yes, if the rider can record compatible files and provide clear equipment notes. Remote work depends heavily on clean data capture and careful documentation.
Reports can include rider details, assessment context, data quality notes, selected ride evidence, key metrics, intervention notes, and a practitioner-facing summary. The current workspace also supports Physio, Coach, and Durability report modes, component presets, quality gates, and studio-branded PDF headers.
Yes. The same ride evidence can be framed differently depending on audience. A coach may care most about fatigue, power, and repeatability. A practitioner may care more about asymmetry, symptom context, and load tolerance.
Rider evidence is stored locally on the user's device, not in a hosted DialedRide rider database. Rider records, imported FIT/GPX files, external PDFs, and generated reports remain in local browser/device storage unless the user exports a package or shares a report separately.
Yes. Activity files and external PDFs are processed and archived locally. Practitioner account access, beta licensing, subscription checks, and Stripe billing are hosted services, but they are separate from rider evidence storage.
KineMetric is for studios, fitters, coaches, and practitioners who need repeatable assessments, rider records, telemetry validation, and report generation.
Favero's published Assioma guidance lists DUO-Shi compatibility for specific Shimano SPD-SL road pedal bodies and positions the Assioma PRO MX range as SPD power meter pedals for mountain biking and gravel. Check the latest Favero documentation before publishing fixed compatibility lists or buying hardware.
DialedRide KineMetric is an independent UK-built telemetry and forensic synthesis engine. It is data-neutral and retrospective: the workflow reads recorded FIT parameters such as cumulative crank revolutions, power, cadence, balance, torque effectiveness, and pedal smoothness rather than predicting outcomes with a black-box model.
Rider evidence is processed in the browser workspace. DialedRide does not operate a hosted rider telemetry database, and the analysis engine is designed so the practitioner keeps exclusive custody of athlete files, imported PDFs, generated reports, and exported packages. Practitioner sign-in, beta access, subscription checks, billing, and optional remote upload links are separate from the evidence analysis boundary.
KineMetric works as an objective evidence mirror for recorded ride files. It reviews mechanical decay, technical fatigue breakpoints, workload drift, and macro-to-micro triage signals from the telemetry already captured by the rider's sensors.
Client records, FIT/GPX files, imported PDFs, generated reports, and archive packages live in local browser storage on the practitioner's device unless the practitioner deliberately exports, restores, or imports evidence through their own workflow.
The platform isolates technical markers; it does not diagnose, prescribe, or replace a fitter, clinician, or coach. Clinical interpretation, coaching decisions, and rider recommendations remain with the qualified professional using the evidence.
When a practitioner uses the Clinic Portal to collect a client-submitted file, that upload is part of the practitioner's evidence intake workflow. KineMetric still treats the received file as practitioner-held evidence for local review, reporting, and archive export rather than as DialedRide-owned athlete telemetry.
Take the guesswork out of biomechanics. Start importing .fit sensor streams, validating telemetry integrity, and printing studio-branded before/after reports from a local evidence workspace. Practitioner access is sign-in and subscription gated during beta.
