I was in Portales, New Mexico this weekend fitting a group of 11 riders from the area.
Here are the numbers on wedges and 20 mm pedal spacers used for these fits.
A total of 41 cleat spacers were used. 12 on the left and 29 on the right.
A total of 6 - 20 mm pedal spacers were used - 4 on the left and 2 on the right.
Two riders needed a leg length shim due to previous fractures of the hip.
One rider needed +1/2 speedplay zero pedals bilaterally.
Also, almost half the riders need shorter stems, although the actual number is much higher because many of the other riders had already gone to a shorter stem.
Also, 4 of the riders needed a compact handle bar so they could use the drop bar position comfortably.
Paul and Andrew have asked for posts on details about what is being used during fits so thought I would post some of my results from this group.

Training in Arkansas - Not just cold ...
Today BikeFit.com is kicking off their first blog entry from right here in Fayettville, AR. This weekend BikeFit Pro Eduction was hosted by Andres Angulo of Advanced Cycling. New BikeFit Pros as of today are Andres, Branton Moore both of Fayetteville and Michael Irwin from Kansas City, KS. Andrew Weber, Director of International Sales for BikeFit.com assisted with the training.
Here is the group pictured below.
The weekend was filled with continuous bike fits from 8am to 8pm. We had some of the most interesting and challenging fits during this week-end's instruction. A new record was achieved for BikeFit with Speedplay pedals. Six of the 7 cyclists fit this past weekend needed different spindle lengths. Pedal spindle length options are something ONLY Speedplay offers and is often the only option for cyclists needing increased or decreased stance width. If you are a fitter and you do not have the Speedplay Pedal kit you are missing something very special.
Topping the Speedplay odds was stem length needs/changes. ALL 7 cyclists left with shorter stems, making us wonder what the bike manufactures have in mind when they design and equip bikes.
The first day of training was such a success that on the second day Andres received many more requests from people hoping to get a bike fit. Word is spreading fast about the BikeFit Pros in Fayetteville. If you are in the area and would like a fit I feel you will be in very good hands with these BikeFit Pros. Look them up and schedule your fit today.
