Have you had a bike fit and did you find it useful? Let us know!

[EricAbbottTri]

I want to see a TT at your before and after fit just to see how much you saved

[marcelveldhuizen]

Did a bike fit a couple of years ago since i got neck problems on my longer rides. The bike fit found the issue and ever since i enjoyed the rides again, absolutely worth it....

[gregvassilakos]

Thank you for the video. You have inspired me to try moving outward the elbow pads on my bike.

[jonathanzappala]

This is me, I don’t have any pain and generally have a lot of success. I have a self selected fit. I guess I have to go get fit now this winter...

[ethansmith]

I love you guys keep up the great work

[triathlonlen]

You could have made a lot more from this session. Way too short. Just gets going then it’s finished.

[JayB-lzyd]

FLEE SPEED?? haha! i love how he rolls the "r" sometimes like a spanish.

[robertkisby]

Had a bike fit at Matt's place a couple of weeks back but can't ride due to broken ribs - frustrated!
I'd be really interested in both your subjective impressions of feel and your objective speed metrics Fraser. My pedal stroke instantly felt more fluid 🙂

[charliesmith-khaira]

I would do anything for this level of quality bike fit!

[karstenmeinders]

I have had bike fittings for my road bike, cross bike and TT bike. No issues while training for and participating in bike and triathlon races of 80 to 100 km. I just noticed during my last middle distance that I moved quite Forward.Next year I will have my first long distance competition. I feel I need to undergo another fitting to optimise aerodynamics and comfort.

Did he just pull out his bike from the trunk with BOTH wheels on? sorcery is this!!?

[markus]

Thanks!! What about the crank length? Do longer athletes need longer cranks?

[goop]

Graeme Obree's position is still legal in USAT triathlons. Anyone wanna try a bike fit for that?

[Choedron]

I love the religion of bikefit - "But my bike fitter says...." - "That might be very well, but you constantly have a pain in your knees...So maybe your bike fitter is not that good".

[HumaneNewt]

Would a bikefit be recommended for a complete beginner? Someone only doing about 50-80km/week. After a knee injury it has left me reluctant to get clipless shoes/pedals incase i get injured again. Any advice welcome.

[DaanHoogland]

I really wonder why this clip has some dislikes. this is useful or irrelevant for you, but how can there be any reason to dislike? I have had bikes fitted and still contains info that is nice to get.

[petefry]

Hi Fraser, Having watched this Bike fit video and the Celtman I was wondering what your thoughts are on the fit.Matt touched on the Tension You get in your back/shoulders.Did the Fit solve this?Having followed your progress since Your Wimbleball days when You would fly past Me on the hills Im really interested in Your feedback.As an Age-grouper Im thinking perhaps I should invest in a proper fit as well.

I have the same BMC, where can I purchase those risers to get that angle on the elbow pads ?

[spodbw]

What did he do to your saddle to stop the rocking?
