FMD…..did you mean FFMD?
This is the FMD next to our FFMD (Fore Foot Measuring Device by BikeFit).
First impression
Looks – Good
Feels- OK
Functions –Fine
They do feel different but instead of focusing on the difference I think it is more import to acknowledge, THEY DID IT! Congratulations to Specialized. We have always felt this is one of the MOST important tools in bike fitting.
There were times I never thought I would see the day. Maybe I wasn’t so crazy after all.

From one blog to another
Here us Julian talking .....Trek..... http://cyclefitlondon.blogspot.com/2010/11/trek-fit-ambassadors.html
Trek dealers in parts of Europe are lucky having Phil and Julian of CycleFit as instructors http://www.cyclefit.co.uk/. They have been customers of ours for years. We spent time over there many moons ago when they were in their infancy. Today one of their disciples Tony Corke who has relocated to the states is one of our instructors. Tony is the Bike Fitter at Tacoma Bike Shop in of all places Tacoma, WA. http://www.tacomabike.com/ .
Working with Tony the first time was almost like daja vu. It was like life had gone full circle. We were taking about the same things and looking at things similar but he said it all in a funny accent.
oh and one last FYI - Last I heard Phil and Julian have not taken up yoga. Lucky for these Euro dealers.

Back in the day
– Big Meat Cleat Wedges by A Gear Higher were often viewed as something no one needed….. and what was up with the crazy name. Well I guess it went with the crazy people at the time. Sort of seems like how a genius can be viewed as being a whack job and all of a sudden one day becomes accepted, admired and perhaps even changes the world.
Today most top fitters realize the Cleat Wedge is not only something almost every cyclists could use but actually NEEDS.
Wow! What a journey.
In the 1990s we launched the Cleat Wedges and In The Shoe Wedges – Big Meat and Sole Power. Today they are simply Cleat Wedges and ITS Wedges.
We actually pitched these products to a company by the name of Specialized. Although they did not go for it at the time it was the only large bicycle company that showed an interest. They actually saw past the crazy name and realized its worth. I am sure there will be more on this company later.
In the meantime here is a list of just a few companies that actually purchase products from us today.
Boulder Center for Sports – Dr Andy Pruitt
Serotta (they just featured one of our mutual dealers "Get A Grip" in their newsletter)
Retul
Fit Kit
CycleFit in the UK
And many many more.

I was just reading about David Wegner of Durata Training. David has not been a customer of ours for all the long, only a few years, but he has certainly taken his job seriously and is becoming noticed. He is also a Retul user who clearly shows us that it is his knowledge that allows him utilizes its benefits.
Both David and the company Retul are customers of BikeFit. We are proud to showcase BikeFit.com customers who themselves are getting a long list of happy customers using our products daily.
To all - please send us your stories and articles so we can share them with others.

222 22 22 - 20mm pedal spacers and world record
http://vanessablack.zenfolio.com/p953636325/h20471409#h2187d9cc George Hood did it - a new world record http://www.urbantrigear.com/
Bernie Conway a local fitter called us after George started on his quest. Lateral knee pain was the reason- add the 20m pedal spacer and the pain went away. Way to go Bernie for being on top of it and makeing sure George got the record.
