Specialized gets a Connection of Excellence Award


Yes we have very good luck with their saddles.
Look for other products we have had luck with as well soon.
Congrats to Specialized getting a BikeFit award for 2009 in the saddle category.
Remember bike fit is about the connections. We work with any brand of bike but only adjust the areas where we connect.

from one of the 7 fits

seat post
stem
bars
pedal spacers (20mm)
cleat wedges

..... the bike fit... AMAZING!!! The bike feels great and I'm excited for my long ride this weekend. That was the most thorough, complete, and best bike fit experience I have ever had (was my 4th). A huge sigh of relief came when the spacers got put in and I stopped feeling the pedal stroke in my lower back. Seriously, I'm a little giddy for Saturday's long ride :) Jacob


7 Bike Fits – seat posts

Seat posts – why would we suggest a new/different seat post.

In one case we needed to get the saddle back further then the post allowed - we needed the offset to be further back. There was a history of a recent knee surgery so getting the seat height up was one goal but also moving it back (aft) was another to protect the knee as much as possible. As you know the more forward you position a saddle the more accute the angle at the knee and the more stress on the joint.

The other seat post was recommended simply because we could not get the tilt in a comfortable setting. This seat post was “notched” and one position the nose was pointed up and the other it was pointed down. We ended up recommending a more of a micro adjust seat post.

We are just reporting what we found in these 7 bike fits. Your experience may very quite a bit. We hope to do this more in the future so and hopefully we can all learn from this

He's back online - easy to find....

Steve Hogg, an Australian bike fitter with prolific writing capabilities and producer of BikeFit.com's Leg Length Shims for 3-hole, 2-hole pedal systems, is back to his online forum at Cyclingnews.com.

BikeFit is excited at this news, as his Q & A stuff on BikeFit problems and solutions has helped so many to find answers -- and moreover it has let others start the process to think about their own comfort and performance on the bike.
