| TRI BIKE FITTING A good tri bike fit is essential when you put aero bars on your bike, whether you have a standard-geometry road bike or a steep-angled triathlon specific bike frame. Body position is, by far, the most important consideration when it comes to reducing aerodynamic drag, so you want to ensure you are fit correctly to maximize the benefits of an aero position. At the same time, it is crucial to maintain power output and comfort, especially for longer events. As triathletes, we also have the need to run strong off the bike and scientific studies have shown that proper positioning, utilizing a tri bike fit, will facilitate a faster triathlon run leg. Every athlete will be interviewed to determine his or her custom needs for their fit. Tri bike fits always take into consideration the athlete's goals, riding and racing distances planned, ability level, and flexibility. Your bike fit will be conducted using a custom made Ves Mandaric fit bike and confirmed with a Computrainer® . We carefully explain every angle that is measured and why it is important. You will be able to see yourself on the computer screen as adjustments are made so you are fully aware of all changes being made. Using the Computrainer® you will also be able see changes in your power output and your pedaling technique as your position changes. After your bike fit, you will receive a document that summarizes your fit session and all measurements before and after adjustments for your records. Two follow-up sessions are included, if necessary. Cost $150 Marty is a certified F.I.S.T. tri bike fitter.
