from Cycling Demystified - Bike Fit, Mechanics and Soft Issues · host Cycling Demystified - Bike Fit, Mechanics and Soft Issues

This week Mat & Wei return to answer your bike fit questions which leads them down a discussion about the most important aspects of bike geometry for your fit + how to make informed decisions about your next bike purchase based around this knowledge. Unfortunately sometimes confusion arises when there is a lack of information particularly when bike shops / manufacturers become blinded by their priorities to sell a product rather than do what is right for a rider. Listen in to find out the 3 critical numbers your need from bike geometry. The maths don't lie. Show links:🟢121: The Truth - You've Been Buying Bikes The Wrong Way...
