Dialing in the angles visible from the side is the easy part. Adjusting for asymmetries in the body and your flexibility/strength limitations here and there is what you're paying for in a professional bikefit
Thanks for the sharing, great video & info.
Ive been using this for the last 6 months, and it worked really well for me
That's actually pretty cool! For $35 and 2 weeks I wouldn't think twice - that gives you plenty of chances to get it dialed in. I think I'll try it with my mtn bikes and my stationary
Glad you got the fit dialed. I want to see a long-term review on that BH alu allroad bike.
couple more in the pipeline. 🤘
Balling on a budget! 😂🔥
Pretty interesting. Does look like a pretty good way to see if you're roughly in the right zone.
Good video
Very informative. Thank you for this.
I realize it barely contributed to your fit, but what saddle was that you put on?
I'd be curious what it would take to get the free version to show "out of range". For example, a much lower or higher saddle height? It would be interesting to see where the threshold is.
That would be an interesting experiment
Interesting 😎
FYI Short legs and a long torso (though not short arms) makes you a better candidate for a more "aggressive" looking position (more common body type of people with East Asian genetics, and one of the groups of people who ride at enthusiast level who can often fit low stack aggressive race bikes).
Low stack, but not a high saddle
What are your thoughts for using this for a MTB fit?
Nice tool. +- 25 deg. is in green zone
Cool
Hey, thanks for this video! Sounds like something I'll get soon. I'm wondering what do you do for cleat positioning? how do you combine it with this? Thanks
The app is limited in some areas. Cleat position, knee tracking (from front view), saddle angle, etc aren’t really supported and would be pro fit territory
pretty cool that this exists if i do say so myself
‘…if I do say so myself’ only makes sense if you were directly involved with the (making of the) product 🤓
hey, you couldve mentioned the upper tier cost and what it offered. also, one ride is not enough to judge it's value, you paid for 2 weeks, why didnt you ride for 2 weeks, with at least a century ride and let us know how the fit felt after that ? that wouldve given us a bit more meat to chew on.
Nice review...seems well worth the $35. I am curious ..you said you are using 165 mm cranks...I am curious how tall you are and what inseam? I have often wondered if a shorter crank would work well for me.
Short, 5’8”, 29-30” inseam
Now I just need to spend bucks to get a trainer then I can use the $35 for a bike fit!
😆

What is the handlebar ?
Ritchey Butano 42cm
thanks mate, i have the same @@TheBikeSauce
ok now where can I find an app like that to pirate it?
Every app is available for free via Google, but if the app requires logging into a private server you can't use it
Its false advertising to call an algorithm "A I"
Do you think you would get a better fit on professional?!?!
I don't think so!
I listened to all podcasts episodes the Bike Fit Podcast and only found out that everyone is for themselves, no standards and not even half a school of thought that you can say ok, these are the basics that everyone follows.
And let me say that interviewed every major bike fitter there is.
So not impressed with the expensive for nothing pro bike fit.
I will say though that the RUclips channel Bike Fit Adviser is amazing and that a learned a lot with that man, best of all he is not making it to be a super guru of the bike fit world with out of this world super stories like all the others!!!
By the way he has this type of bike fit with video a long time ago, with videos at 60fps, from both sides for his clients that very far away from him. He consider that headset length is very important In a good fit along many other things that he talks about/teaches that are interesting to know on bike fit universe.
So I welcome the AI based bike fit!
Thanks for sharing. Now I know this app is useless (to me) :D
If you have three budget do a follow up with an actual person to see the difference
That’s my plan, but will probably take some time
Probably a tool for :
A) Those you can't afford a bike fit.
B) Those you want a relatively good position and want to avoid wasting money on gross adjustments but rather work on refinements with a professional fitter.
Wow who would have thought dropping the seat height and raising the bars would be more comfortable. I am shocked.
sic burn 🔥
It's worth the money for some, but comparing with many other apps and services, $35 for two weeks' of use is extremely high. I've never heard of anything like that.
Maybe the right comparison isn't other apps, but to a professional bike fit which is what it aims to replace. $200-300+ for a proper fit is off putting for most, and is also a one shot deal. Being a cheap person I have never spent the money on a professional fit, but I am pretty sure I have burned through more than $35 on several bikes to try out different stems and shorter cranks and such to get things feeling right. For folks not interested in tinkering, and with less experience to figure it out themselves $35 starts looking pretty interesting. I also have 8 bikes in my garage, so I could see the novelty of seeing what it told me for the rest of my fleet. Well, the rest of the fleet that is also compatible with my trainer (i.e. QR rear ends unless I also spend $50 on a thru axle adapter).
@@123moof Yes, in that light, it's a good value.
@@tomreingold4024 And really, you don't need it for more than two weeks. New bike, tinker with it for a week and you should never really need to think about it again. It does one rider and one bike on that plan though, the $75 plan does multiple bikes, unlimited uploads, and one year. That's probably the sweet spot if you have a few bikes since you're not pressured to get it right (like ordering stems or whatnot).
@@matt.3.14 that makes sense. Thanks.
