Episode Synopsis

Welcome to a special series on the ten essential pillars of bike fitting.
We had such a good response from a recent ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠webinar⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ we did on this subject, and received so many questions, that we thought we would dive deeper into the 10 pillars and bring you a podcast episode for each of the ten pillars...
We have dedicated an entire episode to each of the essential pillars, so that you can take the exact same proven methods we use in our bike fit sessions and apply them to your own bike fit.
Hopefully this will be particularly useful for those riders who can't make it over to our studio in London.
We will be releasing 2 episodes each week, one on Monday and one on Thursday.
Follow along in sequence and you will be able to build your bike fit up in the same order as we do in studio sessions.
As always, if you have any questions off the back of this series, ⁠⁠⁠⁠get in touch⁠⁠⁠⁠.
We want to hear from you, and help you find that amazing bike fit you've been looking for!
So grab a seat, a cup of tea and tune in, so that we can share the knowledge we have accrued over 1000s and 1000s of bike fits
Part 9: How to Choose a Saddle...
Got a crate of saddles that didn't work? Feeling like your saddle is holding you back? Struggling to settle or constantly shifting in the saddle? Dealing with persistent sores or pressure points?
If you're happy that the rest of your bike position is in the right ranges, then it's time to choose the right saddle for you!
Listen in to find out what parameters you should be testing, how to decide when a saddle is comfortable enough and how to pick a saddle from the hundreds of designs out on the market.
