How many wedges are you using?

I had a conversation the other day with Steve Hogg (the man, the myth from down under)

He asked me what was the average number of Wedges I use in a bike fit. I actualy had to look thru my notes a bit - but the average is just about 2 per foot. Again this is an average.

So I asked Steve what is his average use of wedges in a bike fit and here is his reply.

" I've been doing a bit of research for my own purposes and at this stage this indicates that -"
98.75% of riders need wedging under one or both feet
90.00% need wedges on the left side
96.87% need wedges on the right side
Average number of wedges per rider under the left foot is 3.12
Average number of wedges per rider under the right foot is 2.67

Since we drive on the correct side of the road here perhaps the right/left ratio may differ in the states- I would love to hear from others

Since we had a few phone calls and e-mails I thought I should share a little information for clarification.

Life Fitness has filed a lawsuit against LeMond Fitness.
As many of you know I designed the original RevMaster and did a lot of work building the LeMond Fitness Company. The bike in question is not the bike I designed. This is a bike released after I left.I was proud of the work I did there before I left. I like most of the people there and most of the products.

WSSC - what?


What is WSSC? This is short for World Spinning and Sport Conference.

Remember Spinners are also potential customers and there may be more Spinners than you might expect.





Andrew and I adjusted over 250 sets of shoes in 3.5 days. This is by far a world record.
