from Auburn - more re-cap

This in from one of the fits in Auburn - Jeff also joined us on our pre "Has Been" day ride. Jeff was a tough fit and ended up with 2 LLshims and a single stack on one side in addition to his Cleat Wedges.

Paul

Thanks so much for taking the time to do a fit on me. I really enjoyed the time spent while you were doing the “fit” and the ride with you and the other guys at the shop afterwards. I rode 62 miles Saturday, 35 miles Sunday and another 35 on Monday, the fit feels great. Saturday I tried to make myself sit forward on the seat (you had said I sit way back off the seat) and by the time I got home from the ride it felt more natural, so Sunday and Monday it really felt good! Also I’m able to ride in the drops and on the hoods with a lot more comfort, and no aches or twinges from the knees either; I even noticed my cruising speed seemed faster.

Thanks again.

4 Bike Fits Auburn AL - October 8th

Average # of wedges required was just over 2 per foot.

Left 2 varus Cleat Wedges - 1 single stack
Right 2 varus Cleat Wedges
Left foot lined up wider than right

Left   2 Varus Cleat Wedges –
Right 3 Varus Cleat Wedges, 2 LL shims (3mm) and 1 single stack
Left foot lined up wider than right

Arrived with 2 BG shims per foot
Left   2 ITS Wedges
Right 2 ITS Wedges
Compared BG shims and ITS wedges back and forth – cyclist preferred the feeling of the ITS Wedges.
Need to add a Cleat Wedge or two (if two then reduce the ITS by one). Cyclist was using Crank Brothers cleats and pedals and we did not have a shoe shield to be able to put a Cleat Wedges under the sheild.
Stance width was about equal

Left  2  Varus Cleat Wedges
Right 2 Varus Cleat Wedges
Slightly wider left stance

3 of 4 cyclists displayed wider left stance
ITS was preferred in back and forth comparison.
2 cyclists required a shim

Do your fits compare to this?
