    No mention at all of the most important thing when cycling on a road bike, and that is cadence. You want to spin at 90+ RPM to be the most efficient. When you pedal at 60 RPM then you exert too much force on the pedals and get tired, while at 90 RPM you exert less force so don't get tired out.

    The space is quite limited to explain how does it works, but I can show it with an easy experiment: take 2 coins with differen sizes; make them roll and you will find that the larger one is more stable even if you apply low energy. What you say about torque is also true, but torque can be modified by using different speeds or increasing the crankarm without affecting bicycle performance.

  • @MrGivmedew
    @MrGivmedew 10 лет назад +1

    I think this is why the best fitters charge so much. They know these guys exist.
    For starters cleat position is a school of thought. With the mainstream where this guy is. You can def be to far forward but not really to far back but since going backwards changes your position it could make her problem (too long top tube worse) so if I was trying to make her fit an oversized bike then yes that's a good cleat position.
    Willing to bet this guy set her saddle height a bit too high (5-10mm) common when using that horrible machine along with a poorly trained person.
    He is very correct in telling her not to try to mimick pros by going low.
    No bar width mentioned... They might have been fine or he doesn't know or care to check.
    Some bars have different distances to get to the drops which can help with some riders.

    I'm a newbie to bicycle but i don't think the size of you wheel have anything to do with momentum. What I think would be is you will get faster acceleration because lighter wheel and faster acceleration because less torque required to turn the wheel vs if you have a larger wheel you might have to apply more torque to turn the wheel. I think momentum = mass x velocity.

    • @souloftheage
      @souloftheage 10 лет назад

      This was a great video about bike fitting using a terribly bad bike frame for this woman-simply put he fit her to the bike NOT the bike to her. Cinnelli's have longish top tubes, as most European makers do have. Women tend to have shorter torsos. So what is she like on the bike from the BEGINNING?-STREEETCHED OUT!. Her arms BARELY reach the hoods from the get go!. And what he does is obvious-he moves her forward, shortens the stem, moves her forward, shortens the stem....until VOILA!..SHE FITS THE BIKE. But wait: Now she's all the way forward and her weight distribution and balance are all off on the bike. He has done her the supreme DIS service in cycling because now she'll HATE that she's been fitted to a bike when it's uncomfortable or she develops other problems. And she'll say "I guess cycling isn't for me because it's so uncomfortable and I even had a professional bike fit." For a proper turorial on bike fit consult Greg Lemond's notes on the topic or better yet the enlightened, though deseased, SHELDON BROWN.

    • @c-record
      @c-record 10 лет назад

      michael allen that frame model is a novice/women's model frame. it has the shorter top tube and appears to be the proper size for her. she is a novice/amatuer rider who would like to increase their power and efficiency (that means a more 'racer' type of position, leaned forward... which is the transition most noobs like you don't understand) and he is fitting her accordingly. he addresses her being stretched out at the end of the video. you can't address bar & stem positioning without first establishing proper saddle height and for/aft position over the cranks so that is why he started there. watch the whole video you nit

    • @c-record
      @c-record 10 лет назад

      ccrider i raced in the 80's and 90's and still use the LeMond positioning philosophy today, but it will not work for a lot of people, especially newbies. It takes years of riding to get accustomed to that slammed back high saddle position. the LeMond method and the S.Brown (comfortable but more upright for older guys) sizing method are two extremes. i can't believe that you would suggest that this woman try to duplicate a LeMond position??? are you kidding me??? this video is a good place to start for those trying to find that balance between the old guy upright comfort (but slow) position vs the lower more aero and powerful (faster) positioning.
