Bike Fit.

Category: Rant

People, if you roll up to a bike shop or a cycling coach and they pull out the old “bikefitkit” measurement tools and pump the figures into the software don’t expect this to the natural fit for you. No two human bodies are the same, due to this simple fact you should seek the best solution to a bike fit. Being fitted correctly to your bike is a science not a software package that works out basic formulas and spits out a solution for your required position. In my experience I’d be asking a number of questions and reading as much information as you can before working on the bike fit. From personal experience as a tall rider I’ve found seeing my physiotherapist and ex-pro (a real pro with proof and experience) cyclist Leon Vogels was the answer. With one look and a proper anatomic assessment of my position I was putting the power with less effort.
