What Riders Are Saying

Before my fitting with Tyler, I rode the bike once and made a few minor adjustments on my own. After Tyler completed the fit, the bike was completely transformed. I rode later that same day, and the difference between my first ride and my post-fit ride was remarkable. The bike felt more comfortable, efficient, and confidence-inspiring in every way.
Most comprehensive fit I have ever had! As a newer (and shorter) mtn biker, I just wasn’t feeling comfortable on my Pivot, despite having one fit elsewhere. I knew I needed to make some changes and upgrades. Heard that Tyler was THE guy to go for a mtn bike fit and that was 100% accurate. In addition to all measurements, he checked my flexibility, mobility and asked a lot of questions about how I ride and my goals. He spent a lot of time explaining, testing different saddles and adjustments and checking in with me every step of the way on my comfort. New insoles, grips, dropper, saddle, shortened bars and cockpit adjustments. It feels like a new bike! Everything feels more compact and in control where it felt clunky and awkward before. I have way more power climbing and knee pain solved! I finally feel at one with this bike and it’s already gaining me HUGE confidence on the trails. Highly recommend regardless of your level. I’ll be bringing my road bike in next. Staff at Guru were friendly, the shop is super well stocked. Goodest shop doggos too!
I took my gravel bike in for a fitting and had a great experience with Tyler. He checked my mobility and made sure the adjustments were based on my specific needs. After my fit, my bike was significantly more comfortable to ride. Tyler encourages you to bring your bike back for any micro adjustments needed after your fit. All around excellent service!
Tyler does an amazing bike fit. I used the Retul software. Fit, ride a week or so, Fit and then saw 8 of my best power numbers of all time. Very happy with the results!

I was looking for a bike fit for my new agro gravel rig and Tyler came highly recommended from the Head Coach of OVMTB.
The process was really efficient.
1. Call to schedule and discuss my bike, setup, style of riding etc.
2. Initial fit session.
3. Final tune fit session.
Tyler is truly an expert at what he does. I was looking for something relatively niche based on my gravel bike set up and my style of riding, which is a hybrid of XC and aggressive gravel. Fortunately, Tyler has both personal experience with this riding style as well as the actually fitting of riders looking to push the limits in gravel. We collaborated to dial in the fit and the right components, e.g. stem, saddle, fork, dropper.
I would definitely recommend Tyler and his Vandruff Fit Solutions!
Next up is getting both of my kids a fit for the upcoming Arizona Cycling Association season (as they continue to grow... and need updated bike fitting).
Yesterday, Tyler did a pro fit for me and I love this bike even more now! So comfortable! I'm very short (5'0) and have ridden bikes that were just too large for me. No more.
If you need a really great bike fit, Tyler will get you dialed-in. I couldn’t be happier with my bike fit!
Fantastic! Tyler fitted our new Pivot mountain bikes perfectly. He is an expert bike fitter and has a great personality and demeanor to help people. Thank you Tyler. Benjamin the phone, computer do all around the store guy made our bike purchases easy. We needed to order one bike from Pivot and he took care of everything. He also arranged for my wife's bike to have special brakes installed and that was completed before we arrived at the store for our bike fitting. This is the place to go to in Tucson if you want a new bike or if you need work done on your bike. Great experience, great bike store. I really appreciate the nice experience we had and will be a lifetime customer of Guru Bikes.
I had a bike fit done on my gravel bike by Tyler last week. It made a huge difference! I was able to push more power comfortably all day. He is very knowledgeable and gave me a few things to work on. I will definitely be taking my other bikes in for adjustments.
I have also recently come in for some adjustments on my road bike and I’m a lot more comfortable and can hold a higher power which was super helpful at US pro road nationals.

Tyler Vandruff with Guru Bikes worked with my wife and myself setting up our bike fit.
The process was thorough and complete starting with spending time to figure what style of riding we will be doing and our physical limitations.
The time he spent walking us thru the different part options and adjustments was definitely worthwhile, taking time to consider several things like performance, comfort and cost.
Our time and money was well spent with our bike fittings at Guru Bikes. Tyler has made our riding experience with our bikes much better.
Great service. Really knowledgeable. Mountain bike fitting is a must. I had no idea how much needed to go into getting fit for a bike. I've been riding on the wrong fit for two years. They teach you along the way and have an open discussion about things. Couldn't recommend more
Tyler did a great job fitting my wife`s road bike. It was a big comprehensive change in position that was a bit scary but worked out perfectly. Super Friendly shop that is also road friendly, not just MTB.
These guys are awesome! I had no idea how much went in to properly fitting a bike, and Tyler went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. It was obvious he had a ton of experience and knowledge and I was so impressed with what he picked up on. Super friendly and helpful shop. Everyone there is an expert in what they do!

Tyler and Dane are fantastic! They’ve helped me with mountain and road. Whether it’s having all of my suspension rebuilt on my enduro or getting my fit dialed in on my road bike, they’ve always had me covered. 100% recommend this place.
Guru was recommended to me for mountain bike fitting to alleviate neck pain and hand numbness. The bike fitter Tyler Vandruff was amazing! My riding position was analyzed from all 4 sides during the process. The seat was raised, handlebars cut/narrowed, new taller handlebar stem, new bicycle grips, new Superfeet footbeds, new pedals, front shocks and rear shocks adjusted and rebuilt on my 2022 Giant Trance 29er. My bike feels like a different bike! The riding position improved in every way for uphill and downhill - cornering, suspension, foot stability, eyou name it! The most significant improvement is the efficiency of the bike ride - i expend less energy riding. This is a game changer and I give Guru and Tyler 5 stars!!
Ok so I now officially have over 300 miles on the new Scott road bike with a top notch fit from Tyler Vandruff at Guru Suspension, AKA Guru Bikes on 1st. Ave. I have several hard training rides along with some easy paced rides and one race. Pain free and feeling good.
I highy recommended Tyler at Guru for a fit whether you just need some simple sizing or a full blown computerized Retül fit.
Regardless of age or fitness level, whether you ride a $14,000 race bike or a $900 commuter, a good solid fit is key to a comfortable ride and not winding up with any long term joint or muscle pains. Even if you currently have some sort of issue when you ride, a good fit can with out a doubt, help with it.
So go see the guys at Guru Bikes.
Tyler, and of course, Dane rock, the owners. My wife and I had a fitting done with Tyler. Blown away. In a VERY good way. Thanks Tyler.

Serious and seriously fun profesh TT bike fit with Tyler Vandruff at Guru Bikes. Comfort and power are up! Highly recommend!!
I went to Tyler for a challenging bike fitting. He took his time and listened carefully to my needs as the owner of an aging physique. Together we got the right fit and my bike is comfortable again.
Great shop and knowledgable staff throughout for support. Tyler’s Bike Fit was amazing and with a few minor adjustments, I was able to ride with a new saddle, adjusted cleat placement and have zero pain or issues. We’ll worth the money and the time spent was more than I had anticipated it total be. Thanks to all at the shop!
