40 - Daniel Schade and Gebiomized

What this episode covers

* 1:30 what's in a name? * 4:30 the history of Gebiomized * 8:00 how solutions find problems across industries * 9:00 the technical details of pressure mapping sensor mats  * 12:30 the value of having your fit protocol mimic true race conditions as closely as possible * 13:30 the path from pressure mapping to a fully-realized bike fitting equipment and methodology company * 15:30 the Gebiomized fit process explained * 21:00 the order of contact point assessment during the fit process. Plus the interplay between pressure data, kinematics, and kinetics * 24:00 the interaction between activity at the contact points and the change in biomechanics * 25:30 the value of subjective feedback remains * 28:00 The evolution of bike fit philosophy from fitting to angles to fitting to the interaction between the bike and rider at the contact points * 29:45 will pressure mapping ever move from the fit studio to the bike itself? * 33:00 the risk of too much information * 35:00 and of contaminating your test results * 37:30 the marriage of bike fit and aerodynamic testing with Cycling Canada * 39:00 the role of rider stability and comfort in aerodynamic decisions and the role of rider discipline in this consideration * 41:30 triathlon bike fit: the difficult topic of seat height  * 43:30 triathlon bike fit: front end height - lower is NOT  better * 44:00 comfortable IS fast * 47:30 it's all about head position! * 50:30 crank length: shorter IS better * 56:30 Gebiomized saddles - the transition from custom to mass-market saddles * 1:04:30 where can you get a Gebiomized fit and / or saddles * 1:07:30 don't ride on a worn-out saddle To learn more about Gebiomized, visit their website at the Secret Saddle Club [https://secretsaddle.com/line-up/].  Canadian vendors for their fit service include Intrinsi [https://intrinsi.ca/bike-fitting/]in Calgary and Speed River Cycle [https://www.speedriverbicycle.com/] in Guelph.
