Do A Pro Bike Fit At Home (For Free)

Very insightful! Thank you very much for the tips.
I would love to have a bike fit done by Dan but I live in Flanders, Belgium. Could you perhaps recommend a good bike fitter in the broader region of Antwerp?

Pro vid mate

Hi there, I've a shoulder width of 42, but I ride with a 42 on the drops but 36 on the hoods & feels extremely comfortable, I'd that normal?

Very good ACTUALLY useful video!

I’d book a bike / saddle fit but it looks like you’re in Matlock? Too far from the south east unfortunately. But useful guidance in this video, thanks.

Great but what is a bike FET

You can't get fitter than a bike fit fitter!

Thanks great video, fabulous info and the best part is the full explanation.

This is a great video. I agree that bikefitting is an art, and bodies change over time so you if you do lots of miles, you'll probably need to tweak things here and there as you go.

Does matching width of bars to shoulders stand the same for flat bars, cheers

Excellent intro and really helpful for those of us who just don’t have access to a bike fit. Thank you!

Good video! Now an awesome video would show the difference for an XC/flat bar bike. Basically non-existent content on the internet. 😅

Thanks!

Great video

That is very interesting that you suggest locating only the fifth metatarsal and then moving the cleat slightly forward from there. Steve Hoggs and Shimano would suggest putting the cleat in between the first and fifth metatarsal as a starting point. Some bike fitters still suggest setting the cleat slightly behind the first metatarsal and some, unfortunately, say directly under the metatarsal.

THANK YOU for this🫡🫡🫡

KOPS and far too far forward clear position. I would not trust this bike fitter.

Love it. Meaty and to the point.

Always a numbness in my hand on my roadie. Be good to see possible remedies or issues causing it.

Thanks you for putting his succently for us layman.

I feel my handlebars too far, and the pedals too near like going in the middle of my feet. I don't know what to do.

Great, straight to the point! Thanks for sharing

incredible quality and content!

How about something for us older folks who arent bikers but want to start riding for health, now I gotta go buy specific shoes to go around the block? lol Im kidding, but for real, I just want my hands to stop hurting when I ride 2 or more blocks

this is all given that your bike frame is the right size for you

As much as I appreciate these videos, nothing can take the place of a good bike fit... Spend the money the first time to get a proper bike fit! You won't regret it!

Bike fits are to expensive period

what is the threee o clock position? in the freeze frame his femur is not in the three oclick position. It would be helfpful to put the 12, 3, 6, and 9 on the screen to illustrate where the clock is and where the pivot point is for the clock hands.

wondafowl bake feyting mate!

1, The piece of carboard is not stable. When taking measurement you want all surfaces to be stable other wise can lead to incorrect measurements.
2, He explained everything very well (apart from the cardboard) and I would highly recommend UK Bike Fit over a charlatan like "Phil Burt" and that's that.
3, Well Done
4, Peace

can you put some light on MTB ?

Excellent explanation appreciated 🙏

Hi there! What if I use SPD cleats? Does the position change?

Wow! I thought this was Mitch Boyer for a second!😂

Thank you for this. Can't really afford to bike fit yet but I'll get there 🙏

Super cool! Any tips for using flats? Thanks!

Good demonstration and straight to the point thx!

Please does anyone know the name of the tool that was used to adjust the saddle height?

Thanks for this video 👍👍

I'd love someone to go to 5 different bike-fitters 5 days in row, what the hell would happen? Fitters 2,3,4 & 5 should say "you're spot on" but bet they wouldn't, and if fitters 2,3,4 & 5 move you about then it's clown world.

I did mine at home, but it wasn't free. 2 seatposts, 3 or 4 handlebars, and 5 or 6 stems later and it's feeling pretty good, next to perfect. Have some more test rides to do and things to consider, but very close I think. And now I have a lot greater understanding of how everything works together and also the equipment to repeat the process with any bike.

Just where have you been Dave Zabreiske?

Thanks for this video, the advice and explanation make total sense.
I'll be trying out some of these.
Been having saddle sore and quite painful hands after 1 year of not cycling. Was never the biggest cyclist but it wasn't this bad before. (I had a bikefit just before I stopped riding).
I gained quite a bit of weight during that time so I believe that also plays a part in my discomfort. Before shelling out a few 100 euros for a proper bikefit I want to try these techniques!

One bikefitter tells us to put the cleats all the way back, another tells us to put it right behind the mark of the ball of the foot and now they tell us to put it just in front. In my opinion in front of this mark = numb thoes for the rest of your life.

Superb

I just bought my first gravel (and first drop handle bar) bike. I can't reach the breaks when holding the drop and I have no ideal how to fix this...
