Through the years, watching BFT and now your channel, I've made many fit changes to my bikes -- went down a size, lowered my saddle, added G8s, pulled in my reach... Even w/o traveling to London you've made my daily bike rides vastly better. Grazie Mille!

@Frostbiker Ай бұрын

The more bike fitting videos you watch, the easier it is to spot that tons of people suffer from a bad fit. And given how expensive some bike parts are, it makes a ton of sense to get a fit first so that you don't have to replace half of the bike later on.

The main problem is that you have to find from trial and error a good fitter, that's rare though

Thanks for these videos. I appreciate the time and effort that goes into making them and the more bike fit videos I watch the more curious I am to get one. Having said that I'm 49 and have ridden bikes my whole life and never gotten a bike fit. If I took any of my bikes to a bike fitter they would most probably think my setup is wrong if my main goal was to be more comfortable on the bike, but that's just the thing, if I want a comfy bike I'd probably buy an endurance bike, or hell I'd sell all my road bikes and buy a mountain bike. I'm a car guy too, and if a bike fitter had a go at my race car they'd most likely rip out my fixed bucket seat, raise the suspension, soften the dampers, replace my harness with a normal seatbelt and fit smaller wheels with taller tyres all for more comfort (at that point I might as well have left the car dead stock).

Thanks for that video! I see you recommend smaller bike sizes oftentimes. Or at least thats the conclusion i'm drawing from your videos. You say yourself that you ride a 52cm toptube canyon yourself. Wouldnt the stack height be way too low when going with these smaller sizes?

@michael1 Ай бұрын

Well his pet thing is low saddle so that's going to be a smaller frame than most other bike fitters and fitting systems will recommend simply because they are assuming a saddle height range for, say, someone who is 5'11" that is much higher. He puts smaller cranks on to offset the crunched up feeling you'd have at the top of the stroke with the low saddle height. The downside is, of course that no one sells bikes like this so you can't buy one, but of course the upside for this guy is - he knows everyone coming into his store will have a saddle height he can say is too high and cranks that are too long and he'll convince you that your shoes don't fit. So, already you need a different frame, new shoes, new cranks. Kerching, kerching, kerching. It's easy money (not the least because everyone on a road bike is uncomfortable) e.g I had a pre bike fit, bought the bike they said, changed the bars and stem like they said, went back to have that fitted and it sucks - and I've got a L frame and 175mm cranks, so I'm screwed according to the theory of this bike fitter. Screwed by the bike fitter and the bike industry - getting fit first just meant I paid more for the bike and the bike fitter on top. The question is how many times you're prepared to get screwed over buying new bikes with someone putting their pet theory on saddle height, crank length or whatever else before you run out of money or just give up? IME if you end up with a comfortable bike you can pedal (because a comfortable bike you can't pedal is pretty easy - the low saddle does that) you'll be very lucky. Most people visiting a bike fitter get a different fit, a few different parts but they're still uncomfortable.

More women’s bikes + more demand?

Bike sizing really is a massive head scratcher. I've been looking at frame options and have found a fair number of frames that differ as little as 5-7mm in reach between sizes. One example ranges in reach between 369 and 393.5mm for XS-L for a supposed heights of 162mm to 186mm (mid range of suggestion), so a 6.6% reach range for a 14.8% height range. It is almost as bad as cranks that only vary 6% over the commercially available range despite leg length varying a few times as much between a -1 sigma female to a +1sigma male (statistics are pretty hard to come by).

@Bikefit James Can you make a video on fitting for climbing vs flat? I often find the bike is either too short on the flat, or too long on the climb. Is a long reach handlebar a solution? Then I can climb on the tops, and stretch out to the hoods on the flat.

@starlitshadows Ай бұрын

Watching enough bike fitting videos and messing around with my position on the bike. I realized a earlier this year exactly what you said about saddle height and reach being based on your ability to sit at the back of the saddle. I usually start a bit low and gradually raise it till I start feeling myself moving forward on the saddle. Along with it perennial discomfort, upper back discomfort and more pressure on the hands. I just keep it right at the highest point before that occurs. Oddly though it can feel a touch low and a bit slower than being higher up. Knee discomfort sometimes under load as well. I think switching to the 165's I have might solve that problem after watching this.

I don't have an independent bike fitter close by and wanted to hat new bike and was hesitating to go outside canyons recommended size range now I'm happy that I went for XS and not S even though I'm 2 cm taller then recommended for XS. For me it would have halpful in the sense to show how much of manufacturers recommendations can be. And I'm mostly interested in the frame size because that's the most important tho get right in the beginning. Other parts can be optimized woe the line...

Thanks James. Been watching for years on Frances’s channel. Quick question what do you recommend when buying kids bikes in terms of getting a fit. My son (9yrs old) is finishing up his second season of CX and we are looking to purchase our first new frame. There are even less options for kids frames that aren’t hybrid style bikes. Would you recommend a fit even though he will likely grow 2-3 inches every year over the next few years. I’m leaning towards buying the frame (sz 42-46) and then using the components to adjust fit as he grows. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Maybe a video on sizing kids too.

Hi James. I often get my bib short pad stitches cut from the inside so it gets unraveled. (outside seems intact). It's always around pubic bone are and both right and left sides get this issue.

I'm 5'2 with shorter torso longer legs and have a Canyon in size 2XS. I got the fit first and bought after. I was lucky to get a heavily discounted bike fit and the bike fitter recommended the 2XS, but I still wonder if I should have gotten the 3XS. I still get some lower back pain but not as much as on my previous bike which was way too big. I am glad I went for a Canyon bike though, I like having the smaller wheels. It would be odd to me if I was riding the same size wheels as my brother who is 6ft? I also went into a bike shop (I think it was Sigma) and they tried to fit me on one of their women's bikes but we couldn't get to a setup which was right for me.

You've often mentioned how riding in the same position as pros is a bad idea (Q factor for a 20 year old 60kg rider pedalling through a corner and all that), and talked about how a weaker cyclist would benefit more from a fit. Do you get many weaker cyclists through the door? I think it would be interesting to see a fit video for the middle aged heavier riders you'd brought up before, to understand the differences between fit requirements for them and your usual guests.

For larger people riding bikes, is it just a given that they're going to feel pain and discomfort no matter what because they're heavier? Like without any knowledge I can see how just having more mass on a person can cause things like numb hands or painful wrists from the weight on them, or back in pain because it has to keep a heavier torso suspended, and most obviously something like a sore bum or numbness in that region again just because there's a lot more weight and pressure there. I've seen a lot of videos where fitters say something like riders should be able to balance without their hands touching the bars but just leaning over but when I've asked bigger riders to do this it's simply impossible unless sitting upright

Shoes... This is such a difficult topic to discuss because most people have been wearing shoes throughout their entire lives that have caused their foot bones to be compressed. When you start wearing wide toe box shoes those bones start to reform and widen. Her comment about buying larger shoes speaks to this. The larger size likely gives more room and makes the squishing effect be less pronounced. Cycling shoes are terrible for this problem, they are never shaped correctly for optimal foot spread. Lake is the only company I'm aware of that publishes the actual width of their cycling shoes and offers a wide option even though I'm not convinced the shape is exactly right.
