Remote bike positioning instructions
Remote bike positioning instructions
This is not an online bike fit, a bike fit is still far better getting done 1 to 1 with an experienced fitter, but this is an online video analysis of what I think maybe right or wrong with your position and bike set up. I will give advice on how far out you may be (or how spot on you are!), any equipment changes and set up that may help.
People will be required to take short video clips of them riding a turbo, with side, front and rear views, also of the bike without the rider on it, using either an iPad, iPhone, iTouch or similar. Email video here cadencesportbikefit@gmail.com .
Instructions.
1. Bike should be set up on a turbo in a well lit area.
2. You need to be wearing lycra shorts and a close fitting top, NO baggy tops, tights, ¾ leggings or track mitts and if possible short socks so I can see your ankles, if not no socks would be preferred.
3. I need one short clip, 10 to 15 sec of your bike from the side without you on it.
4. Take each video clip from 3 metre distance, from the side I need to be able to see just in front of the handlebars and just behind the saddle.
5. Before taking each video clip, ride for a couple of minutes to settle into your normal riding position.
7. I need side on clips from both sides.
8. Each side on clip take a 1min video clip, within each minute ride 15sec on the hoods, 15sec on the drops, 15sec on the hoods and then 15sec on the tops.
9. Front and rear views doing the same as above.
10. Send video clips to cadencesportbikefit@gmail.com
Please allow 7 to 10 days for analysis and feedback. Payment is due when analysis is done and ready to send out.

Saddle shuffling revelation and broken leg
Just a note this guy had broke his leg as a teenager, which had to be re broken as it had heal incorrectly and hadn't realised it had left his leg shorter.
Hi Adrian
Thanks for doing the bike fit last Thursday - finding out one leg was
shorter than the other was probably the most surprising outcome, but
the whole experience was excellent.
I finally got round to getting a decent ride in on Saturday, only 50k,
but I couldn't believe how different (and more enjoyable) the ride
was.
Unlike previous rides, it was comfortable to ride on the hoods and I
spent pretty much the entire ride, in and out of the saddle, with my
hands there - result! As we discussed on Thursday, I do think I need
to change the bars to compact, the extra padding you put under the
hoods helped a lot, but I can see how getting better bars will make
the riding experience even better.
The changes to the saddle position were also spot on - that moment
when I realised that I wasn't continually shuffling around o
saddle was a revelation.
Once again, thanks very much for sorting me out.
Cheers
