BG Saddles

Hey Paul, 
Noticed you mentioned a few times that the BG saddles from Specialized are often the saddle of choice for your fits. Are there any particular models that you like or seem to be using the most?
Thanks! Matt

Matt,
I have had luck with several models if not most of them. They simply offer many good fitting saddles in several varieties. It is rare we are not able to help someone gain comfort with the Specialized line of saddles. Sorry if that is not specific enough for you but it is what we experience.

Connection of Excellence – for the feet!

Super is right!  They aren’t the world-leading insole for nothing.  Their cycling insole has features beyond most people’s understanding.  Built into the design is more thought and energy than any insole on the market.  This includes a heel support with a slight varus tilt- perhaps the most overlooked part of the foot in bike fitting today.  Superfeet also had the insight to design their insoles to work perfectly with the world’s leading in-the-shoe wedge, BikeFit ITS.  Super indeed!

What can we say the Best working with the Best!

Nice FIT!

Connection of Excellence 2010 for brake levers goes to SRAM

Give SRAM a hand! This 2-time winner just can’t be out-done. Racers and riders alike spend the majority of time with their hands on the hoods of their brake levers. So why not make the hoods the most comfortable place for your hands to be anyway? Invented by SRAM, the adjustable reach feature allows riders of all sizes to adjust their brake and shift lever position. Thanks to SRAM for “making the leap.” SRAM- still the best.

Kind of like Wedges for your hands - Connection of Excellence for Serfas

Wedges for my hands?  Yes, kinda.  Serfas has done a great job of really attacking the issue with their ergonomic grips.  Just as Cleat Wedges brings the surface  up to meet your feet where there is a lack of support, Serfas has done the same with grips for hands.  Genius!  Congratulations to Serfas.  Keep up the handy work!

BikeFit 2010 – Connection of Excellence Awards - BG Saddles

Innovation:  The folks at Specialized aren’t sitting down on the job - the first saddle manufacturer to scientifically address concerns of health-related issues due to extended time on a saddle. 
 Specialized is clearly leading the industry down the path to healthy, comfortable cycling.  Padding in all the rights spots, a “V” cutout and window to relieve pressure and increase blood flow, AND multiple saddle widths make Specialized, special indeed!  Congratulations to this 2-time winner, making the most excellent connection with your posterior!

The Annual “Connection of Excellence” Awards presented by BikeFit Thursdayat 5pm in booth # 406 See the display tomorrow for who will win one of these coveted awards!

Good day at Interbike 2010 – Seems like just a few less attendees verses last year but no official word on that. Showed the SwithIT to a lot of people. Specialized provided us with plenty of demo saddles – big thanks to Specialized for that.

Pedros hooked us up with some cool tools. The EXiT bike was a draw.

The most questions today came from Rolf Dietrich of Rolf wheels. He hung out during one of our foot/pedal interface demos. Biggest surprise was Jan Bouland coming to our booth the pick up some cleat wedges she claimed were for a presentation she was doing in the Specialized booth…not sure what to think of that one.
