Tip of the week " Be Vain "

2012-01-30T00:16:00.000-05:00

Every one of us could do our own selves a big favour by riding our trainers in front of a mirror once in a while and watch ourselves ride. You will not believe what you can learn about your own position by simply looking in a mirror

For example, If you see that you have lateral shoulder movement (movement side to side) when you pedal, this could be a sign that you have tight psoas muscles that are causing your SI joints to move laterally in your hips. The poas muscle is a long thick muscle that is attached to the side of the lumbar region of your spine at one end and the top of your femur (lesser trochanter) on the other. This muscle contributes to flexion and external rotaion of your hip joint and is part of your hip flexors

Tightness in this muscle group can also cause lower back pain while cycling.

The movement in your shoulders is your body's way of counter balancing the unwanted movement in your hips, so if you see this in the mirror talk to your Physiotherapist and find out some good stretches for increasing the flexibility in your psoas muscles.

This will ultimately result in a quieter upper body on the bike, decrease lower back pain, save you energy and result in a smoother overall pedal stroke

So be vain... You'll be glad you did

TIP OF THE WEEK " OFF SEASON TRAINING "

2012-01-18T19:55:00.000-05:00

Although it has been a relatively mild winter so far here in Toronto, most of us have moved inside and will be spending the next 10 weeks or so on our trainers or rollers.

Ask yourself ... How am I feeling on my bike right now, Did I have anything that was bothering me during the race year. If the answer is yes, then maybe a bike fit is needed to address what ever issues you had.

So when should you get the bike fit done. The answer is NOW, not the Spring.

WHY?

Riding the trainer is a very static position and any flaws in your positioning or pedal stroke will be amplified versus being on the road.

Since your position is very static, muscle memory becomes very SPECIFIC to that static position on the bike.

This is fine as long as you are confident that your current bike position and pedal stroke are correct.

However, if you have doubts about your positioning and you wait till the Spring to address it, then you will be creating BAD muscle memory for the next 10 weeks.

Take advantage of the next 10 weeks inside and build muscle memory in the correct place by getting your bike fit now.

This becomes especially important if you have any key events or races early in the season.

If you have your bike fit done in the Spring, you will not get the full benefit of it until mid season and your entire 10 weeks of hard indoor training will have been mostly wasted.
Great Training!!

SADDLE FITTING " IS IT A SCIENCE OR JUST TRIAL AND ERROR "

2012-01-11T11:20:00.001-05:00

Finding the saddle that is comfortable for you is sometimes the most painful, frustrating and often very expensive part of cycling.

Is finding the right one a Science or just pure Trial and Error?

Well the answer is both, however Science plays the most important role

I have people coming to me regularly with issues associated with their saddles, perineal numbness, saddle sores, chafing, causing major PAIN and DISCOMFORT and literally ruining their enjoyment of the sport.

If you want to find the best saddle for you.... Here are the steps

1) Have the distance between your ischial tuberosities (sit bones) measured

Any good fitter or bike shop should have a measuring device. This will give you a good range indication of how wide your saddle should be to ensure proper sit bone support. Saddles usually come in 3 common width sizes 130mm, 143mm, 155mm or there abouts

Most commonly men are in the 130-143mm size, but not always

Women have a different hip structure and generally have wider sit bone distances 143-155mm,

Riding a saddle that is too wide for you can artificially spread your pelvis and cause you to ride with your knees splayed outward, resulting in poor knee tracking and potential knee injury

Riding a saddle that is too narrow can result in improper support of the pelvis causing slight collapse of the hips contributing to inward knee movement, affecting knee tracking and causing chafing of the inner thighs etc

2) Determine the right saddle profile for you

Look at the saddle from the back, you will notice that although several saddles may be the same width they all have a different profile ie one might be very flat across the back like a fizik Antares, or more rounded across the back like the fizik Arione. If you are a large person you may need the support of the wider profile and vice versa for the smaller rider.

Do I go with a saddle that has a cutout to relieve pressure on the nether regions?

This is a personal choice and if it feels more comfortable to you go for it, be aware though that cutouts can relieve pressure in one area and cause it in another.

Next time you watch the Pros in the tour, check their saddles out, You won't see a lot of cut out saddles and these guys ride 30 - 40,000 km's a year

3) Determine the type of riding style you have

If you sit very upright on the saddle you are better with a slightly wider saddle, If you ride very aggresively then a saddle on the slightly narrower end of the range might be better

If you move around a lot on the saddle pick one that is flatter from front to back like a fizik Arione. If you have a tendency to stay in one place on the saddle all the time pick a saddle with more of an up sweep to the back of it to use as a back stop. The fizik Alliante or Specialized Romin are good examples

If you move around a lot and choose a saddle with an up swept back, you could over extend your legs at the bottom of the pedal stroke if you move back on the saddle when you climb, causing tenderness behind the knees at the hamstrings insertion points

Contrary to what you might think, the longer distances you ride and the more you ride, the more saddle support you need. This translates to the more you ride the less the padding you should have.Nothing will make you more uncomfortable on a long ride than a thickly padded saddle

3) Posture is critical

The angle of your sacrum is paramount to finding the right saddle, Most people to avoid crotch pain end up rocking their pelvis back ( slumping in the saddle, causing rounding in the back ) to relieve pressure.

SOUND FAMILIAR

Avoid doing this. for it drastically affects your performance and comfort on the bike, you want to keep your sacrum and your spine neutral

4) Saddle Angle

Saddles are designed to be ridden flat +/- 1 degree, measured from the centre of the saddle forward when your bike is level, A common error people make is to level their saddles from front to back with a construction level. This results in a saddle that is tilted up at the front causing crotch discomfort and forcing you into the wrong posture.

5) Be patient

Most saddles need to be broken in, ride them at least 4-5 times before you decide that the saddle is not for you

6) Get a professional bike fit which includes a saddle fitting

A saddle that feels comfortable when you are riding in the wrong position isn't doing much for your performance, so make sure you have a proper bike fit done. Quite often saddles that feel uncomfortable are a function of poor bike fit more than anything else. You can save a lot of time and money by trying all the saddles at your fit where a professional can help you.

Whats my final TIP ??

When you find the right saddle buy several of them and put them away, for they are like GOLD and manufacturers have a tendency to change things over time.You do not want to go through the procedure all over again when you go to replace the one you have, only to find out that it has been discontinued.

Here's to riding in comfort

Meet ANDREW BOLTON........ This guy is GOING PLACES

2011-12-29T12:13:00.001-05:00

I met Andrew about a year and a half ago when he showed up as a newbie to one of my cycling clubs weekly rides. Halfway in to the ride it was quite evident that Andrew had natural talent and an unwavering drive to succeed.

His bike position needed some improvement so we got him in to the studio and the rest is history.

Andrew started doing Triathlons in May of this year and quickly showed his affinity to this sport.

At the ripe old age of 19, he won't be 20 until Dec 31st ( Happy Birthday Andrew ) he is posting superb results and gets better with every outing

Here are some of his results for 2011

Subaru Milton Triathlon                                May 2011     2nd Age Cat      27th Overall out of 496

Subaru Muskoka Long Course Triathlon       June 2011     2nd Age Cat      24th Overall out of 270

Bala Triathlon                                              July 2011      2nd Age Cat        7th    Overall out of 332

Bracebridge Olympic Distance Triathlon      Aug 2011      2nd Age Cat      13th Overall out of 284

WEEKLY " FITT " TIP............... CRANK SIZE "THIS IS ONE INSTANCE WHERE SHORTER CAN BE BETTER "

2011-12-22T10:46:00.001-05:00

There has always been an ongoing debate on what size crank arm is best for you,

Some people have mathematical formulas so you can calculate crank length, some have charts,

I won't list them all here, since depending on which source you use you come up with a different size.

Not much help is it !!

Then you have the people that say that crank length should depend on what type of pedalling style you have.

If you are a faster cadence SPINNER, you should have smaller size cranks to help you spin faster using less energy and if you are a lower cadence MASHER you should have longer cranks to generate more leverage and therefore power.

In all honesty I have tried crank sizes from 170 mm to 175 mm and have a hard time distinguishing any difference in power generation or my ability to turn the pedals faster.

It is just too much of a subtle differance for me to feel it.

Track sprinters of all sizes and heights with Quads like Godzilla sometimes use crank lengths in the 165mm range and are generating 1500 watts over short distances with a cadence in excess of 200 rpm's

Just as an aside, Sir Chris Hoy, one of Great Britain's best track sprinters of all time can leg press 631 kilograms 5 x in a row. Thats over 1388 lbs. Now you know what I mean by Godzilla quads.

Ever ask yourself... Why they aren't using longer cranks?

Most crank length formulas use a function of Inseam length in cm's as part of the calculation

For example :

crank length (mm) = Inseam (cm) X 1.25 + 65 ( Not my formula by the way )

For a person with an inseam of 81cm (typical of someone who is 5' 8" tall) the suggested crank length would be...

81 X 1.25 = 101.25 + 65 = 166.25 mm

Typically most people this height are using 172.5 mm cranks though

WHY?

Most people this tall, are usually riding bikes somewhere in the 52 - 54 cm frame size range and 172.5 mm cranks is the standard size cranks that come on these size bikes from every Manufacturer.

Why? Who knows

One important question rarely addressed however is....

How does crank length relate to an individuals leg anatomy ?

For arguments sake, lets take 2 people that both have an inseam length of 81 cm.

These people would typically be around 5' 8" - 5' 9"

One has a femur length (upper leg) of 42 cm and a tibia length (lower leg) of 39 cm
The other has a femur length of 40 cm and a tibia length of 41 cm

Should both these people be using the same size crank??

The answer is NO THEY SHOULDN'T

WHY?

The answer lies in the knee and hip angle at the top of the pedal stroke for both cyclists

Both these people having the same total leg length would have the same saddle heights to achieve equal extension at the bottom of the pedal stroke as long as they have approx. the same flexibility

Good extension at the bottom of the pedal stroke would result in a knee angle between 145 -148 degrees for most average cyclists. Can be up to 155 degrees for pros and elite cyclists.

Now lets come around to the top of the pedal stroke

Would both these cyclists have the same knee angle and hip angle at the top of the pedal stroke?

The answer is NO,

The person with the longer tibia will have a more acute (tighter) knee angle and hip angle than the person with the longer femur.

For good efficiency through the top of the pedal stroke, we typically need a minimum of 70 degrees of knee angle or more, preferably 74 - 75 degrees if possible for smooth transition over the top.

The person with the longer femur would typically have that.

The person with the longer tibia however may only have 65 degrees of knee angle at the top of the pedal stroke making transition through the top quite difficult resulting in having to raise the hip to bring the leg through,

IE Rocking in the saddle

We can't raise their saddle any more or they will be overextending, so what do we do

The answer lies in crank arm length

The person with the longer tibia would benefit greatly by having a shorter crank

WHY ?

A shorter crank would open up the riders knee angle and hip angle at the top of the pedal stroke making for a smoother transition.

Here is how it works

For every 2.5 mm shorter your crank length is you would have to raise your saddle height by the equivalent 2.5 mm to maintain the same extension at the bottom of the pedal stroke.

When you come around to the top of the pedal stroke, your foot is also 2.5 mm lower in relation to your hip than the longer crank would be.

To make a long storey short

For every 2.5 mm shorter your crank is you gain 5 mm of knee and hip room at the top of the pedal stroke..

This means that if the cyclist with the long tibia's uses cranks 5 mm shorter than the cyclist with the longer femurs he can achieve a 1 cm (approx. 4 degrees) less acute knee and hip angle at the top of the pedal stroke allowing for much better efficiency than with the longer cranks

This change would give the cyclist with the longer tibias (lower leg) a knee angle of 69 degrees instead of 65 degrees with the longer cranks.

Combine this with moving the cyclist with the longer tibia's' saddle forward a little more in relation to the cyclist with the longer femurs ( this further opens hip angle) and we will be able to match the knee and hip angle at the top of the pedal stroke for both riders

YOU SEE... SHORTER CAN BE BETTER,

Even if you have longer femurs than tibias, you may want to cosider slightly shorter cranks if you have trouble coming through the top of your pedal stroke efficiently.

For the cyclist with the long tibia's it is IMPERATIVE, for the cyclist with the long femurs it's a BONUS

These are some of the important subtleties of a professional bike fit.

FOOT BEDS FOR CYCLISTS " WHY ARE THEY IMPORTANT "

2011-12-13T15:16:00.001-05:00

Our feet are the most forgotten and neglected part of our bodies as Cyclists. We shove them into often ill-fitting cycling shoes, fix them onto pedals and proceed to pound away.

On an average 3 hr ride we turn the pedals 16,200 times (based on a cadence of 90 rpm's) . As a consequence numbness, hot-foot, pain, cramps, instability and power-loss are all too common.

We all have very distinctive feet, consisting of 28 bones (our feet have 25% of the entire body's bones in them) and 27 muscles controlling all types of mobility. Some of us pronate (ankles fall inward under load) and some of us supinate (ankles fall outward under load) Some of our feet get longer and wider under load and our lontitudinal and metatarsal arches collapse as a result of sprains, rolled ankles and wearing improperly fitted shoes for years... RING A BELL

Whatever is happening in our shoes, has a massive chain-reaction all the way up our bodies. How we walk, sit, stand and therefore pedal starts with our feet. A large portion of lower back pain can be generated from the feet.

It is virtually impossible to achieve a powerful and efficient interface with the bike until the feet are stable and comfortable. Our feet are the foundation of posture, whether good or bad.

Your feet can fatigue very quickly if not supported correctly, resulting in poor pedal technique which can have big effects on your enjoyment or performance.

Triahletes take note, A stable and comfortable cycling foot will also make you faster on your RUN

If taking your cycling shoes off at the end of a long ride, gives you the same feeling of relief that taking your downhill ski boots off after a day on the slopes does then consider footbeds

WHAT IS THE SOLUTION !!

eFit Semi Customizable Footbeds by eSoles

The eFit SUPPORTIVE model is designed specifically for activities featuring rigid footwear including Cycling.

The eFit SUPPORTIVE model features neutral alignment for maximum energy transfer needed in the activities featuring enhanced stabilization through the footwear.

The Supportive arch component is covered by a specific EVA foam to provide comfort and control.

Other than Cycling, these same insoles (SUPPORTIVE model) can be transferred to your hockey or figure skates, or your downhill ski boots with the same benefits,

Oher models are available for running, golf, hiking etc.

Patented Interchangeable Arch System:

The eFit footbed is supplied with four arch supports to customise the footbed to provide the correct amount of support under the medial arch. The Efit footbed stabilises the foot and reduces pronation. Pressure is spread more evenly under the foot helping to relieve hotspots and the extra support reduces pronation and improves knee tracking and power output.

Highly developed materials designed to provide controlled flex and adapt to the characteristics of your foot under normal body heat.

Top Sheet:Moisture wicking perforated polyester (also washable)

Insole:Premium EVA Material - Impact Absorption

eFit Technology:

Metatarsal Pad:Reduces forefoot tingling, numbness and hotspots

Advanced Design Footbed:Premium EVA Material - Impact absorption

Arch Contour Technology:Activated by body heat, the arch system adjusts to match your individual arch length and contour.

Energy Return System:Dissipates shock and returns energy lost from specific activity.

Dynamic Arch Stabilization:Increased comfort, balance and overall performance. Ensures proper alignment.

2011-10-29T10:09:00.000-04:00

WattsUp is proud to partner with FITT 1ST.

FITT 1ST has been servicing our athletes' bike fitting needs since 2010, with tremendous success. Over 80% of fitted athletes highly recommend FITT 1ST's services, and 0% have expressed being disappointed with their fitting experience.

We firmly believe that to perform well and remain healthy in cycling, you must be riding in a proper set up on your bike. Cycling is such a repetitious sport, that a slightly improper bike fit will undoubtedly lead to problems. We recommend all of our athletes get fit by FITT 1ST on their current bike/s. And if/when shopping for a new bike, to consult FITT 1ST about which type and size frame to purchase.

That is, we recommend our athletes shop for bikes by fit, as opposed to by brand or by popular consensus.

CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR ATHLETES !!!!

2011-10-25T09:31:00.000-04:00

The RACING season is starting to wrap up in this part of Canada, and over the next several weeks we would like to recognize some of the accomplishments of the athletes that have trusted FITT 1ST to be their fitting partner.

Meet Meg Thorburn

I’m recently home from the 2011 World Duathlon Championships in Gijon, Spain. Team Canada had about 55 members, most (including myself) in the International Distance Age Group races.

The weather was perfect, with lots of enthusiastic spectators. The runs (10km at the start and 5 km at the end) consisted of 2.5 loops, starting and ending in the stadium where the transition area was located. Other than one nasty cobblestone section, it was a fast flat run.

The very fun bike course (two 19.2 km laps) was, on the other hand was quite hilly - a flat start, then a 5 km climb and a 5 km descent, before ending on a flat stretch along the ocean promenade.

I did much better in this event than I expected and had a blast! I came out of the 1st run in 5th place (out of 22 in my AG) and held that position on my bike. I came off the bike feeling great and passed a woman in my AG 1 km from the end (gaining a full minute on her) to finish 4th in my AG.

I saw Scott a few weeks before the race, because I had been having major problems with foot pain while riding in duathlons.

Scott performed a full foot assessment on me and set me up with E-soles and wedges, which have really helped to alleviate the pain (and transfer more power to the pedals).

He also tweaked a few other things in my fit and pointed out a few problems in my riding style and posture.

Two days after I saw Scott, I posted my fastest ever bike split. But most remarkable, I think, was my 5 km run at the Worlds. I had a solid bike split, then came off to run a PB on my 5k - not something one expects in a duathlon, as it is usually so hard to recover from the bike.

However I felt so good during and after my bike leg that I ran stronger!

Cheers
Meg

A big CONGRATULATIONS again to Meg for her excellent finish at Worlds this year

Tour De Blue Charity ride helps net $445.000.00 for Markham Stouffville Hospital

2011-08-31T15:32:00.000-04:00

Recently I had the pleasure of joining some of the Who's who in Canadian business and special guests, George Hincapie (BMC Racing), Steve Bauer (Owner Spidertech powered by C10 Pro Continental Cycling Team) and Chris Carmichael (Owner Carmichael Training Systems & Lance Armstrongs' coach) on a Charity ride to raise funds for the Markham Stouffville Hospital Expansion,

Many thanks to AVID cyclist Peter Gilgan President and Founder of Mattamy Homes ( far right in picture ) for inviting me. Peter also happens to be a FITT 1ST client.

One of the highlights of my weekend was when George Hincapie rode by me and said "So how does my position look Scott ".

I'd say his position was pretty good considering he went on to win Stage 2 ( the Queen"s stage), and finish 5th overall on GC at the US Pro Cycling Challenge in Colorado last week.

Steve Bauer showed a little of his Yellow Jersey winning form as well.

ANOTHER FITT 1ST CYCLIST REINSPIRED AND OFF TO CHINA!!!

2011-08-31T15:17:00.000-04:00

Hi Scott,

I can't believe I've been riding in pain for years. After my bike fitting, I still had some stiffness in my neck and shoulders but nowhere near what it was. I think I'm just working out the kinks that have been there for many years. Today I went out and although not 100% (maybe 95%), my pain is a million times better that it has been. I have more power on inclines and my position on the bike it totally different and way more comfortable. My arms don't hurt and more importantly, my neck and shoulders don't hurt.. I just have to keep remembering to tilt my pelvis to flatten out my back which I try to do constantly. I am deeply indebted to you for what you've accomplished for me in just 3 and a half short hours. It was well worth it and I no longer dread my 3 hour bike rides. I'm off to China next week. I'll let you know if I think I need any "tweeking" when I get back on Sept. 17th.

Thanks again for all you've done. You're a genius!!!

Best Regards

Hartley

CLIENTS FEEDBACK FROM RECENT FITS

2011-05-01T12:05:00.000-04:00

Here are a few comments from clients who have had fits in the last few weeks

Hi Scott,

That whole experience was quite something – I can’t thank you enough!! My back problems have significantly declined, almost immediately, and I logged a lot of hours in the saddle over the long weekend as well. I feel like a whole different rider. I will be sure to be passing your name on to anyone I come across. I only wish I had come to you sooner.

GC

Hi Scott,

New position feels great! Had an awesome ride yesterday.

Miranda

Hi Scott,

I've been really happy with your fit. My riding and power have improved

Eddie

Hi Scott

Hope you got out for a ride today. Rode yesterday with no neck pain for the first time EVER!

Tricia

“I tend to be one of those independent types that thinks I can control my environment, training, workload, etc. A father of four, I run my own business, and dream of trying to keep up with my brother, a professional rider – so I need all the help I can get. Despite being told on numerous occasions to get a proper bike fitting, it was admittedly some back pain that forced the decision. Scott came highly recommended from a number of high calibre riding buddies. My experience with Scott was beyond anything I could have anticipated – after a thorough discussion of my past and present health, fitness and sporting activities, we launched into a battery of fittings, tests and measurements that went literally from head to toe. The changes to my bike and posture that resulted were truly mind-blowing to me. And the result – instant relief of back pain, instant incremental power to my pedals with proper use of my body and muscles, and now even greater enjoyment of the sport. My only regret – not getting into see Scott sooner. A proper bike fitting should be a mandatory exercise, and I cannot thank Scott enough for his time, insightfulness and the immediate improvements he has made to my cycling.”

Greg

TAKE A BOW SCOTT

Bike feels amazing.

I did my time trial last night. My mid zone four was usually 180 watts and Pete told me to start at that number. I couldn't. I couldn't go that SLOW!!. Over twenty minutes, I slowly built up my power and ended up with 228 watts.

GREAT STUFF.

FITT 1ST helps Vitess Bicycle Corporation Build a Riding Experience

2011-02-22T19:46:00.000-05:00

A couple of weeks ago I had the pleasure of personally taking Rob Jones, Canadian Cyclist's Publisher and Editor-in-Chief through the fitting experience involved when purchasing a Vitess high end carbon road bike.

The session took place at Vitess' Toronto showroom.

Rob was accompanied by Editoress Tracy Harkness and they were there to report on how Julien Papon is changing the way we look at buying a bicycle. And a very important part of that process as quoted by Rob Jones was the professional bike fit provided by FITT 1ST.

Here is what Adam Johnston and Peter Oyler had to say about why WattsUp Cycling decided to Partner with FITT 1ST

2010-10-25T09:46:00.000-04:00

WattsUp Cycling is pleased to partner with Scott Judges and FITT 1ST to provide professional bike fitting services to our clientele.

Anyone who takes their cycling as seriously as the typical WattsUp Cycling athlete does needs to be comfortable, powerful, and aerodynamic on their bike.

Realizing that there is a considerable process to being properly fit on one's bike, we decided to out-source our bike fits to a professional.

It was imperative that this fit professional display the following:

INDEPENDENT:
We believe a true bike fit professional ought to be independent of any particular bike shop, bike brand, bike fitting system, training club, etc. At present, the vast majority of Toronto's bike fitters do not have independent status.

Scott at FITT 1ST does.

CERTIFICATION / PROFESSIONAL ACCREDITATION:
There are a number of bike-fitting certifications available. And each system has their merits. We feel it's important that a bike fitter be trained in at least one system, and willing to flex their fit philosophy to consider the ideas/philosophies of other systems. Scott displays this, being a SICI certified PROFESSIONAL fitter, and intending to examine other bike fit systems.

TECHNOLOGY:
We believe technology plays an important role in bike fitting. But at the same time, we feel that some bike fitters hide behind the technology rather than standing up and taking ownership of the fitting process. Scott implements a judicious use of technology and human science in his bike fits.

PERSONAL EXPERIENCE:
Scott is an avid, long time, serious cyclist. He knows the nuances of cycling. and understands athletes' passion for their bikes and the importance of how good they feel on them. Scott communicates with the athlete, discussing not only what he is doing but why he is doing it to ensure the athlete understands the reason for the changes. This allows the athlete to better understand their own body morphology and how it translates to their position on the bike.

In this way the athlete can provide more constructive feedback as they get stronger.

PERSONAL SKILLS:
Some bike fit experiences end up feeling like a sales pitch...either for a number of new parts/accessories for one's bike, or for a new bike altogether. Scott at FITT 1ST is not like that. There are times when a part or two needs replacing on an athlete's bike. Rather than force sales on the athlete, Scott simply presents the facts, explains what a new part would do for the athlete's fit, and ultimately lets the athlete make their own decision.

ATHLETE INPUT:
While Scott follows tried and true fit rules, he takes into account how the athlete is feeling during the fit process. The athlete's comfort on the bike is paramount. Scott will not force an athlete into an uncomfortable position. He works together with the athlete to determine the best overall position for them, with their specific disciplines and overall goals in mind.

We are certain that Scott and FITT 1ST will help improve our riders' overall comfort, power, aerodynamics and safety.

Welcome to WattsUp Cycling, Scott!

Here's what Sandro Scarsellone Owner of Spinkicks had to say about his fit at FITT 1ST

2010-07-29T08:51:00.000-04:00

Hello Cliff,

Give Scott a call. He is mobile & can visit you! He is very good! Check out his website at http://fitt1stbikefit.blogspot.com/

After Scott re fit me on my road bike, it was like night & day. What a difference. He spent almost 3-4 hrs measuring everything on me & the bike!

I was thinking to myself this was a waste of money at the time.

In the end it was the best decision I have ever made.

Sometimes its not the bike but how you are setup on the bike!

I totally recommend him for anyone addicted to cycling!

Sandro Scarsellone,

VELOREVIEWS REVIEWS FITT 1ST FITTING EXPERIENCE OF NEW VITESS OWNER

2010-06-08T08:28:00.000-04:00

Here are the highlights.... for the full article and review go to

http://www.veloreviews.com/profiles/blogs/review-my-vitess-bicycle

A few weeks later my bike arrived and we scheduled my fitting session – a three-hour intensive session conducted by Fitt 1st at the Vitess showroom – where every part of the bike is adjusted and tweaked to ensure the perfect fit. During my session it was discovered that I need a narrower handlebar than originally thought, and than what I ordered. Not a problem! Julien swapped out the ordered bar with a bar of the correct width and ordered in the carbon bar I originally ordered at the correct size. The next week I returned and we made the swap again – adjusting the fit perfectly before sending me on my way.

The fit is perfect. I’ve had my previous bikes fit to me but not like this. My comfort level is much higher than I thought possible on a high performance bike – and my endurance is better as my body doesn’t fatigue from holding a position.

MORE ENERGIZED FITT 1ST CLIENTS

2010-05-11T09:01:00.000-04:00

Hi Scott,

Oh man I owe you a big long email!

First off...the bike has been great and I have never felt more comfortable and confident on my bike than the way I do this year...thank you!

I've been riding outside ever since the end of March and I've been loving it. We went away to Arizona with Mark, Judy , Joyce and Christina and it was incredible riding. We did some crazy hill climbs through Mt Lemmon, Kitt's Peak, Gate's pass and some great long desert stretches. All the riding in the garage really prepared me for riding outdoors this year. The Ironman training is going really well and I'm feeling very strong. I'm really looking forward to the race.

The esoles have been a huge help as well..I haven't had anymore numbness in my feet since I started using them. I'm not using the metatarsal supports, only the arch supports but that seems to be all I really need.

I have heard nothing but raving reviews from my friend Chris who went for a fit with you. Thanks for helping him out so much. Not sure if he told you his whole story but he has transformed himself into a great athlete this year!

Thanks Again

Annette

Hi Scott

So, I did my first 'official' training ride yesterday. 65k in the
wind, cold and even a bit of snow. It felt amazing. I feel really
natural and connected on the bike, and my legs are enjoying the
outcome of having pedal spacers. The arch supports have also helped
a lot. I felt like I had a very powerful ride.... 65k in just about
2:20. Not bad for a guy who used to weigh over 400 pounds 2 years ago!
The fit has made a tremendous difference, and I feel very confident
on the bike.

All is good.
Thanks for your help!
Chris

The FITT 1ST FIT … WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT!!

2010-04-12T10:26:00.000-04:00

"Tell me and I’ll forget. Show me and I’ll remember. Involve me and I’ll understand”

Confucius

We at FITT 1ST want you to understand your bike fit, thats why we take the extra time to actively involve you in all aspects of the procedure. This way we establish quality communication and feedback.

Our fitting process was developed by the leaders and pioneers in this industry, taught at the SICI Institute to the TOP FITTERS IN THE WORLD. Although our system uses well established scientific criteria as its base we add a very “Rider Centric “ component to our fit procedure by establishing a thorough personalized profile of the rider themselves.

There are no “quick fixes” if a bike fit is done correctly, and that is why our fits are very comprehensive.

Whether you are a pro athlete or a daily commuter, the process remains the same and is equally important for all.

By the time your fit is complete you should not only feel totally satisfied with your new position, you will also have a much greater knowledge and better understanding of how your body and your bicycle work together.

You and the bicycle become one. This is how the cycling experience is maximized.

Full FITT Procedure

Step 1: Interview
The fit begins with an extensive interview to establish a personal blueprint
of the uniqueness you bring to the bike.

We will gather information about your life off the bike that relates
directly to your comfort, efficiency and power on the bike.

Lifestyle, fitness level, riding experience, prior injuries, surgeries and current
physical concerns all play an important role in determining your ideal position.

Step 2: Foot Assessment

This is a very important aspect of the bike fit and absolutely essential for any rider
who uses a clipped in pedal system. The interface between the foot, shoe, cleat
and pedal is where it all begins. This is where all your power and efficiency originates.

This is also the source for the majority of foot and knee issues we encounter.

Foot size and shape, degree of pronation, arch type, length and height, forefoot varus and valgas and metatarsal support are all evaluated here.

Step 3: Flexibility and Postural Assessment

Everyone has a unique body structure, determined by genetics, how we live our lives,
and even what we do for a living. A person who sits in front of a computer all day will
have a much different range of motion and flexibility than the fitness trainer, even if
they were born identical twins and chances are they would not be comfortable in the
same position on the bike.

Postural alignment, leg length differences, pelvic asymmetries, spinal flexibility,
hamstring flexibility, and hip flexion range of motion will all be assessed

Step 4: On Bike Assessment

Everything we do on the bike is to ensure that the bike fits you. It makes more sense to
change a stem, saddle position or handle bar position than to force one's body into a
position that is unnatural. This process will result in a position that accommodates all of
your natural bio mechanics removing excess pressure at all your joints.

Foot stability, cleat alignment, ankling pattern, knee tracking, pelvic angle, upper
body alignment, arm and hand positions will all be optimized to ensure that you will be
riding safely and comfortably for your current skill and fitness level. We will be asking
for your feedback continually through this phase.

Step 5: Evaluation and Recommendations

We will do our best to adapt your existing equipment to you. However there may be
changes that we will recommend to you. A new handlebar with shallower reach and
drop to accommodate your arm and hand position, a different seat that fits your body
and riding style better or something as small as adding a wedge to one of your cleats.

Any one of these small changes can make a world of difference in your ability to enjoy
and perform well and safely on the bike.

If the bike is just the wrong size for you, we will tell you so and give you advice on
what manufacturers makes, models and size would be a much better fit for you and
your style of riding.

All of your data will be recorded, so that you will have a permanent record of all the key
bike measurements. These can be used to help duplicate your new position on
another bike.

FIRST FITT'S COMPLETED FOR VITESS BICYCLES

2010-04-05T15:58:00.000-04:00

The first fits for Vitess bicycles were completed last week and one of the new Vitess owners got back to us after putting in some good miles on the Easter weekend.

Here's what he had to say

Hello Scott,

The fit is great. I especially appreciate the narrower handlebars - it really felt good, and I felt strong and fast.

When the fitting session started with an interview I knew that this was something different. Something much more involved and in-depth than what I'd experienced at the local bike shop with the purchase of my previous road bike. I could almost see Scott forming a picture of how I ride, and what I need to make me faster and my bicycle more comfortable. Once I got on the bike he made a series of adjustments that seemed minor to me, but resulted in major changes in how the bike felt under me. This translated into more power, more energy and more comfort on the road.

Thanks Scott!
