Hey

So where did you go after that? Also had a fitting done with him, I was fine being low on a tri bike but he raised the handles and adjusted the seat and cleats.

It's been few months since, but still getting a sore ass after 120k and by 180 it can be quite a torture.

Thanks! Will check it out after bike is fixed.

It was his own house I think.

imo, aero is the way to go generally.

if you see cannondale's latest systemsix white paper / marketing literature, basically with their wheelset knox 64 on that aero bike is faster up hills up to 6% vs their lightweight supersix evo.

of coz power output and weight of rider & bike will change that %, but just an idea. it was 300w and 75kg rider weight in that white paper.

yes different stroke for different folks.

Had my tri bike adjusted twice.

As mentioned before, went for TF which lowered seat and raised the stem, still have sore sit bone and toe numbness.

Recently went for VO2max by Patrick. Very professional, a physio by training. Has 3D real time mapping for angles as well as bike measuring. saddle raised about 2cm, stem/cockpit dropped by 4cm, added wedges to shoe. Had seat pressure mapping as well, tried another wider ISM saddle (which he thought would suit me better), but shown empirically (by the pressure mapping) that the wider saddle was actually causing higher pressure despite being more centralised (on current saddle more pressure on left side).

At least things are backed up by real data. So ultimately had more confidence. Still have sore sit bones, but lesser, and toe numbness are a lesser occurrence <<< after 2 weeks of riding this new setup.

It is nice that after adding wedges, I still know from the 3D cameras that my knee is still tracking within the normal range etc. Yes RM750 is expensive, but I bit the bullet since I believe a good fit will help with being efficient and prevent injury.

My only comment is, I wish we could play around with adjustments by the millimeter to see if +2 mm or -2 mm is better or worse etc, you know, like at the optometrist. Until everything is dialed in perfect. Maybe i'm too demanding. But right now the stats show my angles etc being in normal range.
