Proper Bike-Fits

Knowing how important a proper bike fitting session is and the difference it can make, I had intended to make sure Adams bike was set-up properly once he'd got his first few outings on it under his belt.

We both had a 2hour session each at Bicycl e Repairman/CYCLEART in Prudhoe, Northumberland.

Extremely thorough, starting off on a Wattbike confirming, surprisingly, we both have a good smooth pedalling technique with nice even power delivery. Laser-alignments for the settings f rom the Wattbike onto our own bike and a whole host of adjustments made as Chris spent the time to check pretty-much everything that could possibly be adjusted, and optimised it for each of us on our respective bikes. We'll see the what effects the changes have made on the next ride out, hopefully at the weekend.

Adam starting his bike-fitting session. Hmmm, what's that thin electrical cable in the background. So THAT explains the pace up the hills of Northumberland on only your first few outings....

"Vader, Vader (that's Flemish for father - fooling nobody Paco)...how do I do that look again? You know the one where Lance looks across at Jan Ulrich as if to say 'your ass is grass and I'm the lawn mower from hell' and then he leaves Ulrich standing. I want to do that to Stretch on our next big climb. Do you think I've got it? Do you think I look smug enough?"
That's the gist of the conversation that took place when this snap was taken. The only way you'll ever give me that look, Paco, is if that white cable in the background actually does connect up to a battery/motor combo. Dream on Mule Boy! And no, it looks nothing like the look brother Lance gave to that Bratwurst munching East German cheat. I'll show you what that really looks like the next time you dare to come out to play.....
