151 Factor ONE Hyperbike Launch - The End Of Bike Fitting As We Know It?

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

This week Wei & Mat are joined by Dan Pells, co-owner of Bespoke Cycling, to discuss the launch of the new Factor ONE hyper aero bike and it's implications for bike shops, mechanics and fitters. Is this new hyperbike making aero cool again? Dan certainly thinks so, but Mat has other ideas (of course!) And how will the new geometry affect the decisions that bike fitter make for their riders. The team dive into aesthetics, mathematics, biomechanics, responsibility, trends and whether or not shops & fitters are ready for this next evolution of road bikes...Join us for a highly opinionated discussion ;)Show Links:1.
