WHO THIS IS FOR
IS THIS YOU?
The rider with interacting fit variables
Saddle, cleats and cockpit cannot be assessed as isolated tweaks.
The rider with a specialised position
Handling, aerodynamics and event duration need to be tested together.
THE ROADMAN VIEW
The Roadman view
The deliverable is a documented, testable position—not a promise that expensive equipment finds free power.
A credible fitter explains uncertainty and knows when the problem belongs with a mechanic or clinician.
