Ep 40: The Ten Pillars of Bike Fit - Part 1 of 10: Cleat Positioning Cycling Demystified - Bike Fit, Mechanics and Soft Issues

Welcome to a special series on the ten essential pillars of bike fitting.

We had such a good response from a recent webinar we did on this subject, and
received so many questions, that we thought we would dive deeper into the 10 pillars and bring you a podcast episode for each of the ten pillars...

We have dedicated an entire episode to each of the essential pillars, so that you can take the exact same proven methods we use in our bike fit sessions and apply them to your own bike fit.

Hopefully this will be particularly useful for those riders who can't make it over to our studio in London.

We will be releasing 2 episodes each week, one on Monday and one on Thursday.

Follow along in sequence and you will be able to build your bike fit up in the same order as we do in studio sessions. 

As always, if you have any questions off the back of this series, get in touch.

We want to hear from you, and help you find that amazing bike fit you've been looking for! 

So grab a seat, a cup of tea and tune in, so that we can share the knowledge we have accrued over 1000s and 1000s of bike fits

Part 1: cleat positioning:

This week Matt, Wei and Ev explore the first pillar of bike fitting: What you need to know about cleat positioning.

Your feet are your foundations upon which you can stack performance. So getting your cleat position right is the critical first step in building a strong and sustainable foundation.
