Interesting stuff, Alex. How have you set your wattbike up? Does it transfer the position from your road/track bikes?
@ShadowzKiller Ай бұрын
Thanks for sharing. Bike fit James, Neill from down under and a whole host of bike fitters would not call this a proper bike fit. This guy is clearly over relying on technology, he barely looked at Alex when he was riding. Those numbers are references at best. Alex said he felt stretched, and that probably means something is wrong. The majority of people should stay away from this "marketing bike fit".

Disagree, Phil looked aplenty. On the ‘stretched’ aspect, everything is going to feel stretched or different from what you’re used to, doesn’t necessarily mean the initial starting point was optimal.

I am not a pro....not even close. I am just a 60 year old man who used to race track back as a teen and young adult who still rides a couple times a week. About 20 years ago, I engaged one of those expensive high profile bike fitters. He made minuscule changes to my seat and added 2 cm to my stem. I rode it that way for a couple weeks, and noticed increased strain and fatigue on my back. I changed things back and rode it that way since. About the only change I have made in 40 years is to raise the bar relative to the seat. Each new bike I setup a bit higher.

It's a shame that BT and Australian track team ended their partnership. It would have been cool to see what models they would have out now if they continued RnD working alongside the team. They haven't released a new model in ages, but they still hold up.

It must be about time that the Derny's get replaced with electric versions. How many watts are the 180 wheels saving over about 80's and why aren't they liked? There's not a real lot of wind to contend with on an indoor velodrome.
@Avantone Ай бұрын
This question is asked at lot. These derny's are well maintained and are run on a specialist Alkylate, low smoke, low hydrocarbon fuel, so fumes and environmental impact is reduced. Yes, eMotorcycles are used more and more now for Keirin pacing where only one Derny is required, but for other sessions and particularly Derny racing, you would be using as many as eight machines simultaneously. With eDerny costs of around £10,000 each, this is untenable, and this is before we consider the charging infrastructure to charge them simultaneously and safely. There are equally lots of riders and spectators that the love the spectacle and tradition of these machines.

I know this is an old video but, it's helpful for me. I've been riding a Canyon Aerroad this year. I love the bike, but it's just way too stiff in the seat tube and seat stays and with my back issues it's killing me. I'm getting back on Specialized though, as I just ordered an Sworks SL8. I swear I'm only doing it for my back 🤣.
@MrJaycobsen Ай бұрын
I'm curious about your crank choice, if I remember correctly you use 170mm cranks on road and 165mm on tt. Have you tried 165 on the road bike and if so how did you find it compared to 170? I recently made the switch to 170 and feel it's much better in aero position on road bike and I'm considering switching to 165 and probably will try it. I am about same height as you I believe 183 cm and ride with cleats pretty far back. Maybe something you could talk about in a future video.

@rattila13 Ай бұрын
I don't understand how the lengthy physical assessment tied into the fit. It might be helpful if you were trying to predict a person's position from scratch, but that wasn't the case here. The other thing I don't get is why not use the Retul bike? You can adjust anything in seconds without getting off the bike, and risking stripping hardware on the customer's bike.
@carlpentney290 Ай бұрын
You're obviously used to riding on the nose of the saddle but for us mere mortals, despite moving the saddle forward, it still looks a massive setback.
@StrategyPerformance Ай бұрын
Interesting video Alex: I am intrigued. Around 26 mins in Phil is recommending moving the Wove V8 forward so you are more 'in the saddle' rather than on the nose and over the BB. However everything I have heard from Wove is that you don't sit back on the saddle, but you are tipped forward in the long nose over the BB. Also there is a negative slope to the saddle of 3-6 degrees, and yours looks flat. Is this because you are more in a road position rather than a TT/Tri position? I am intrigued. I'd appreciate your thought on this please.

Funnily enough…I have been doing ‘bike fit’ for past 10 years…some decent results.Always more to learn…I raced in 1970’s,before ‘bike fit’ was a thing. Heel on centre of the pedal an excellent guide..starting point. I still get folk to do this sometimes after doing a fitting,also helps as a guide for leg length discrepancies.

Just here to read comments from internet bike fit experts with 250w FTPs provide opinions about how pro bike fits suck, as though the folks who spend their lives on a bike haven't figured out what works best for them.
@kimwrinkle100 Ай бұрын
Excellent video, Alex! Phil is very knowledgeable. As a person with admitted “trust” issues, I wonder if a different Retul bike fitter would suggest another adjustment in some area for you simply to “justify” their expertise and/or the cost of the bike fitting process. Thoughts?
@gregmorrison7320 Ай бұрын
Retul has their set of numbers that they set the rider up to, another system will have their set of numbers, who's to say which is correct, I've seen some real crap bike fits where the rider is still having problems, personally I think it's all bullshit.
@danielakerman8241 Ай бұрын
5 different bike fitters will give you 5 different bike fits, even if they all use the same tool. Retul helps with visualization and guidelines, but every bike fitter will have a different idea on the correct adjustments and compromises to make for the individual rider. Doesn’t make any of them wrong or right.

The bars with the chimney and positive stem look cartoonishly high, I was hoping there would be more talk about that. I'm 184 with long legs and considering buying a Chinese TT bike for lols, my main concern is around stack height and tilt and adjustability of the front end, so seeing a Frankenstein setup like that one scares me :)
