I was browsing around and ran into a great video from Chris Carmichael Training where Chris Carmichael and Brad Irwin talk about the importance of getting fitted in cycling. They particularly discuss Real-time 3D bike fitting, I am a big advocate of getting fitted. Even if you take all the tech out of it, the basic principles apply. You want to look for comfort in your fit, aerodynamics in your fit and finally maximum power output in your fitting. The balance of those three are key factors when getting fit for your bike and trust me the end result will have a huge impact on how you ride from here on out.
Elite cycling coach Chris Carmichael talks to Brady Irwin, a senior coach at Carmichael Training Systems, about the latest developments in bike-fitting, so cyclists get an optimal ride every time. With new infrared motion-capture technology, it's possible to plot the movement of several biometric markers in three dimensions as a cyclist pedals. From there, you can optimize your position on the bike against three important factors: comfort; aerodynamics, and power output. Finding the delicate balance between all of these is what will help you take your performance to the next level.
