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.

 
6. Ride at about 80 to 90 rpm.

 
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.
