BikeFit Pro Education class Dec 4-5

Notice the Specialized saddles near the bike – we showed several models of the saddles throughout the class using the "SWITCHIT" which will be available soon. In the meantime if you would like to see the SwitchIT in action now visit Woodinville Bicycle. Mike Rabas the owner of Woodinville Bicycle also visited the class for an hour to talk about bike shop relationships with clinicians. Woodinville Bicycle is a Specialized dealer.  

Lastly a big thanks to Superfeet who supplies us with the world’s greatest over the counter insoles for all shoes, especially cycling.

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!

An ITS Wedge story – skipping to question number 4

 from an ITS Story below 
4) I noticed on your website you endorsed the Specialized BG saddle. What do you think of the Specialized BG footbed insoles. Are they better than the cycling Superfeet. I use Superfeet in my shoes and sneakers. I like them. But I went with the BG insoles because of the metatarsal button thing.

Phil,
At BikeFit, we have had good luck with the BG saddles and often recommend them. I was able to consult on some saddle designs ten years ago. The company had some distractions, though, so you did not see a lot of them in the market. Some of the features I helped with input on at that time are similar to some of the things you see in the BG Saddles today. We really do like to let people know about products that work well in helping them find more comfort so you will hear us talk about Specialized saddles.

Our experience is not just limited to saddles. For example when it comes to foot beds/insoles we’ve also had good luck with other companies like Superfeet. Our ITS wedge is designed to fit perfectly with them. I have not had/seen any issues with the BG insoles. I have seen a few people switch but most have stayed with the BG insoles if they already had them. If they feel good, stick with ‘em.

Eric Atnip from Lexington recently took our one day class at SlowTwitch.com

Eric recently attended a F.I.S.T workshop and stayed an additional day for BikeFit’s education on the Foot/Pedal interface. Being F.I.S.T certified alone does not include cleat adjustments and assessment of the feet. Eric is one of the few to have both the F.I.S.T and BikeFit’s combined education. If you are in Kentucky this place offers a complete bike fit. Read about the new shop opening.

How do you mark your work?

If you are a dog you may lift your leg. If you are a BikeFit Pro you might leave a mark like this.

Remember Green and Red BikeFit Pros – let us know at your next order and we will include some BikeFit dots so you too can mark your work.



Cheers
