104: Five CORE CONCEPTS of Bike Fit You Need to Know

Welcome back to the podcast! This week we have a special condensed recording from a 2 hour workshop i recently ran with a local cycling club based in Regent’s Park in London, UK. The workshop covers 5 key fundamental concepts of bike fitting which I feel every cyclist can benefit from understanding.

Once you understand these universal concepts, they will give you greater clarity on what you are trying to achieve through your bike fit. We applied these principles with some live bike fitting on the day and as a bonus you see some of that fitting here on the video recording.

Take some of the methods we cover in the workshop and you can make meaningful changes to your bike position very easily, with just an Allen key.

103: Do You Need A Triathlon Bike?

This is a question we get asked ALOT. So in this episode we break down the pros and cons of owning a dedicated triathlon bike . i.e. When should you be using an aerodynamically optimised TT style bike for triathlon?

We cover not only the positional / bike fit requirements but also the practical elements you should consider such as how to travel with you tri but, servicing and disc brakes. We even discuss the social implications and pressures of owning a tri bike. Listen till the end to find out how you get EV to do his first triathlon!

102: “One Bike To Rule Them All” Is This Going To Be The 2025 Trend?

It’s no secret we are big fans of versatile bikes… This means bikes that are simple to adjust, adaptable, easy to maintain and have longevity. After the aero / integrated cockpit trends of late, are we seeing a return to bikes which are more versatile?

The crew returns for the first episode of 2025 to discuss their hopes, dreams and ambitions for 2025… And what do you need to consider if you want to have that one bike to rule them all. Geometry choice is just as important as tyre clearance choices.
