James needs his own channel! That man is a wealth of info and hilarious to boot.

James good to see him back, when I had my bike fit with him and he changed the bars from a 44 to 42 it was an instantly noticeable difference to comfort. Hope you both have a good Christmas.

I really like all the information shared quickly in these short videos regarding fitting.

On last day of Christmas my Francis gave to me... a video with Bikefit James T.
Happy holidays everyone!

[philellis]

Great to see bike fit Tuesday's are back. 🚴👍

[hugog]

Waiting patiently for vid comparing you road fit to Xc MTB. Merry Christmas ⛄🌲

Thanks for posting these videos, they're super, super helpful. It keeps me from standing around the local bike shop and asking annoying questions to the sales people all day long while they try to sell bikes

Running 38cm bars thanks to James. Way more comfortable than the 42s I was on before. It’s interesting how many snide comments I’ve gotten about them being too narrow. Works wonders during crits as well sneaking in spots.

I run my levers inward slightly as it helps me have a flatter forearm for aero gains. Dan Bigham is probably the best example of what a perfectly aggressive aero fit looks like. I’m sure you guys are familiar with him!

Spot on. Mr Bike Fit Tuesdays knows his onions and following his recommendations my bike is so much more comfortable. This vid really helped me sort my bars set up. Also really appreciate the snappy to the point delivery of points - good editing.

Simple man of the internet know that when we see bikefit James, we press like. Enjoy the christmas Eve Francis and James!

[Radishoo]

Oh bike fit Tuesdays, how I've missed you!
Waiting for my new bike to arrive so I'll be adjusting handlebars soon no doubt, Claris too so that's handy! Thanks guys.

[Jemaineu]

I have the new 105 in normal version and in short lever and both have reach adjustment. The adjustment screw is located on the outer part of the lever body.

Used to ride STI levers inwards as well to compensate for a wide handlebar. Downsized this year and trust me, the change was worth it. Purely from the feeling point of view on the bike. A lot better.

Just found my old fit data. Time to get the torque wrench out and make some changes. Thanks for this. Couple of useful points for me to take on board.

[JeronParry]

I adjusted my shifters at a diagonal (inward) and it relieved my hand of numbness. It also was so much more comfortable.

[dionysiak]

Thanks to James, my neck/shoulder pain’s gone. Merry Christmas to you guys! 🎄

[pjcaps]
