[@wayneclement7201]

Anyone else addicted to these videos?

[@edwin_slager]

I bit yes

[@Deedeedee137]

Ya

[@malcontent_1]

This bike fit video brought to you by Sir Mix-a-Lot. 😏🙃 Fine work as always, James.

[@wandering_pete]

You had me cracking up there James, really like how self aware and self deprecating you are.

[@xkpm]

As a tall person it'd be great to see (and learn from) a tall person getting a bike fit. Hearing a lot about people riding bikes that are too big, but what if it's the opposite where people can't even find bikes big enough?

[@Bikefitjames]

In you come!

[@whootoobe]

I love these videos!

[@onlyonecjb001]

Really informative video, thank you.

[@h2obubbli]

Oh the part about cramping really caught my attention, I cramp alot on my quads & calf, and always thought it was due to electrolyte alone.. sounds like i need to revisit my saddle height too

[@IAAITKEN]

Interesting about the single muscle group. I plan to get a bike fit when I can. However always get a sore LHS lower back/side. Put it down to need to do sit ups or similar!

[@papis408]

Wish there were a bike fitter this dedicated in the mid-south US area

[@Bikefitjames]

✈️

[@lesio40000]

Now you need to bike fit the other cameraman:)

[@SteveLi123]

The berk saddle looks nose up in the end?

[@tengeribeteg]

where can you even get 155mm cranks? im in a similar boat, but i have trouble finding 160, let alone 155 (for a q factor my bike accepts, which is around 160. there are some great crank options for 140-150, like the la dixna otherwise)

[@Bikefitjames]

Rotor, croder, appleman…..

[@OGFORTNITEDAD]

How tall is he?

[@Local.hero.1983]

There's alot of Princess and the Pea going on in youtube bikefit vids.

[@Bikefitjames]

Are you the princess?

[@nicknick194]

How tall is Luke and what did his saddle height end up at? (Fellow short arse here)

[@0-60.tests.with.Passengers]

690mm saddle height

[@markusseppala6547]

Does G8 sell those arc pieces separately? Mine are over a year old.

[@ShadowzKiller]

This is one reason why it might be better to get a custom insoles, they generally last longer. G8 insoles are already around 140 euros. At some places, you can heat-molded insoles between 90 and 200 euros and they can at least last two years. Obviously, like James has said before, the person must know how to make them. James probably does not have the time to make custom insoles for each bike fit so it makes sense to use G8. I have heard of that arch piece breaking for stronger riders.

[@Paksusuoli95]

​​@@ShadowzKiller 90-200€ every two years is robbery.

[@markusseppala6547]

@@ShadowzKiller Yeah I found only one place selling replacement arch pieces but most of the sizes are sold out. It's crazy if G8 makes you buy the whole package again just to get a pair of plastic arch pieces.

[@nicknick194]

Mine sagged within a few months so I emailed G8 as I wanted them replaced. He told.me it didn't matter and they will still work the same (seriously) Makes no sense at all. He refused to acknowledge there was anything wrong with them. And being unable to buy replacements is just ridiculous

[@MookPanda]

The web store for Bicycle Richmond has the G8 arches for £12 for a pair and you can select different sizes per foot.

[@Deedeedee137]

17mm is so big lmao

[@aljaliah6868]

Question about the bike James, how is that yellow colour in real life (as opposed to seeing it online) ?

[@jamescarter26]

Does he get full price or employee price 😅?

[@Bikefitjames]

He gets special badger pricing

[@zbigniewnykiel]

Speedplays ha thu 😂

[@Bikefitjames]

I know 😪

[@zbigniewnykiel]

@Bikefitjames thanks to You I started using SLR Boost and ultegra +4mm. Thanks a lot!!!

[@dogxcd]

He looks like he’s propped up by his arms a bit

[@Bikefitjames]

Because he’s a massive (tiny) chopper
