Some Truths about bike fitting

• We can't fit everyone into the same box. Some individuals will need to be “out of range” for some dynamic measurements due to each person’s unique biomechanical needs

• Almost no one sits squarely on their saddle. And this is okay…usually.

• Many times, bike fit changes that are successful are only made in very small increments

• Saddle discomfort is rarely caused exclusively by the saddle itself

• Best practice is to make modest changes with good data to back them up and then have the rider spend a few weeks settling to their new position before reassessing for further changes.

• Any change at one area is going to affect the movement at all other areas of the body in a bike fit. For instance, changing grip or hand position can affect ankle or knee mechanics — and vice versa
