New Fit for a New Year and a New Fit Machine!
For New Years my wife, dog and I made a whirlwind tour of New England. We drove up from Durham, NC to visit various family and friends and while we were in Providence, RI I made a stop by the Tri Fit Lab. Todd Kenyon has created a top secret new machine that will revolutionize the fit process and I was happy to be a guinea pig…I mean pioneer of this new method. This new machine is top secret (hence the blurred out picture below), however, I can say that it enabled Todd to independently change various proportions and fit dimensions of the bike I was riding, while I was riding a hard threshold set. We played around with various methods to determine the best way to determine the best fit with the best power production. At first I watched my power while Todd told me what changes he was making and I would try to figure out what felt better. However, I found it very difficult to be objective and honest with what position felt better or was more powerful. We then decided to try changing parameters while holding a constant power and without giving me any information. All I had to say was what felt better, “number 1, or number 2.” Much like the eye doctor asks you which lens lets you see better without giving you any prior information. I found this method very helpful and after some tweaks we got me into a great position where I was very comfortable and still able to produce optimal power. This never would have been possible without this new machine. It may sound cliche, but it is going to revolutionize the way that a rider if fit. You can find a little more information about this machine at here and find out more about Todd and his fit services at www.ttbikefit.com.
