Champion 34263 Chicago | Subject: RE: Dear Daughter... Originally posted by switch Originally posted by msteiner A FIST fit (on the BIKE) sounds like a good way to go. Reallt nice pics and helpful info. Thanks for the feedback and help Originally posted by switch Those pics are awesome. Did you just slowly lower yourself, or did you work with a bike person to work it out? Did you have a power meter to monitor power output with fit changes? Do you adjust your fit for different length races? I bought both my bikes from the same bike shop, and because of that, the shop's fitter, who is FIST certified (have fun with that one!), has worked with me in slowly getting more aggressive. My ultimate goal was to get into a position similar to Chris Lieto:
The first major position change came with the purchase of my time trial bike. The more aggressive geometry helped a lot. The last picture was from buying a slightly shorter stem with a -18 degree angle to get lower than the stock stem would allow. I would test the positions on a computrainer at the bike shop to make sure I can produce power, but I also do an interval ride to make sure my HR numbers were in line to similar efforts. I don't think I'd change my position for longer races. I'm pretty comfortable in it. Right now my focus is Olympic distance. One IM was enough fun for me! Ow. |

While we're heading down this road, so to speak... Chris Lieto has freaking awesome legs eta: I'm saying that as a 51 year old man who fantasizes that one day I will be the oldest rider in the TdF.
