V V 1 Cleats - just a glimpse of the future...well some of the future is actually now

Great combo cycling/body pump class this morning before my trek to Vegas. Deanna’s class at Woodinville Golds rocks! I am loving my VV1 cleats on my indoor cycling shoes. If you have not seen the VV1 cleats yet now you can in person at Interbike booth #406. If I must say so my self these are innovative and it is the future of bike fitting.

Everyone wants to see and hear more about the SwitchIT but here is another little secret. In 2012 we are toying with the idea of launching a class on customizing your cleats. If you have 1, 2 or 3 wedges or whatever perhaps this will eventually be build right into your cleats – all one piece. Also if you have a leg length issues and you would like to add a few mm or more to one cleat – yes that will be build in as well. Again all in one cleat. Funny how most people think bike fit about the bike….ummm last time I check it is about the connection points.

Only one more spot available for foot/pedal interface demos at our booth - e-mail Brian@bikefit.com

Giving a shout to Cory who is somewhere between Seattle and Vegas in a gray minivan!

Bike Fit - SPD cleats and pedals.

I think I echo the sentiment of others by saying that I prefer to work with almost any other cleat and pedal when it comes to bike fit. But I think when it comes to really trying to improve what we do - we must learn to embrace our weakness or area we like the least.

I personally took this challenge and one of the results was the new V V 1 cleat, perhaps the most advance cycling cleat in the world. Here are some of the considerations for taking this challenge.

Market size and share - The SPD market is the largest market of pedals in the world. I will restate that as there are more people (A LOT MORE) riding some sort of SPD or SPD knock off than any other cleat and pedal. This is a huge and relatively untapped market. It really is ours for the taking.

Mtn bike fits and control - When it comes to so called mtn bike fits I often hear people say bike fit is not as important as a road bike. This could not be further from the truth. What controls a mtn bike more, than lets say seat height or position, is the foot/pedal interface. Your feet control the bike and are far more important for control of the bike than they are on a road bike.

The kicker – in spite of the fact that the connection is more important the platform size is small and not as stable. – The relative contact surface of an SPD cleat to the bottom of the shoe is so minimal. Often efforts we put into working with this cleat have been tough. Even when we get a desired adjustment it can be difficult to make sure everything maintains its setting. One less variable (incorporating a wedge into the cleat) eliminates one of the adjustments we need to control when working with SPD cleats. In other words it should be easier to address by eliminating one of the reasons we may tend to shy away from SPD type fits.

Here is a link to some early success with the V V 1 cleats. I hope you too will enjoy this type of success soon. http://hypercatcycling.wordpress.com/

New Patent Pending V V 1 mtn cleat/spd compatible – Hypercat Racing

Feedback: Andrew dropped off a set of the new V V 1 SPD cleats to try, ironically I had a follow-up client that night and in the end with a 1mm spacer on each pedal, 1 ITS per shoe, the V V 1 cleats and some playing around with position, her legs tracked as nice as any of the road systems I have seen. That is very close to a first. Generally I feel I have to call it at close enough, but in the end it was perfect and she felt "connected" to the pedals. I think those little puppies were the icing on the cake and a many times better than the small little SPD Cleat Wedges, especially when making the small adjustments. I am ordering up a few
V V 1 sets to have for some upcoming charity riders I will be fitting.

Thanks again
