I thought I was dialing in my new bike. I couldn't be further from the truth. I was making it smaller, when I needed to go bigger. Thankfully the guys at SPECIALIZED Ireland got me in and got me sorted. Chris was amazing at getting sorted on the bike, his passion for bike and fitting people is very obvious.So glad I got it done and will see if it needs tweaking over the next few weeks. There is nothing as worse when your cycling and you feel those niggles.

Got bike fit done with Chris myself a couple of weeks ago. Brilliant lad and a complete game changer. Don’t know why I never got it before.

@derekfeehan 3 месяца назад

He’s excellent is he! For the amount of time spent on the bike a bike fit is a no brainer but it’s the last thing we do 🤣

Had to laugh, you must have microphones in our house down here in Melbourne, discussing with the minster of finance , the beautiful wife, the need for a bike fit as I am getting a new gravel bike soon… this weeks piece did the job, thanks and ride safely

@derekfeehan 3 месяца назад

The minister of finance 🤣 I wish I’d got it sooner. Older worth doing if you’re getting a new bike. I wish my minister of finance would give the go ahead for a gravel bike 🤣

That's some setup to get your measurements right for the bike will you do a check list for yourself before you head out on the bike 😂 lovely to see you had the sun on you this week keep cycling 😊

Im a disaster Adrian 🤣 I take it on and off so many times and never about it till I’m rolling over something thinking I could get a flat here. Then it dawns on me I’ve left it at home again 🫣 I’m making a conscious effort from now to have it from now on 🤣

@br5380 3 месяца назад

I'm confused, did you already buy the bike, and then have a bike fit?

@derekfeehan 3 месяца назад

To answer the question, yes I got the bike before the fit but I’ve being a 56 since I started riding bikes. Some of the previous videos are where I’ve taken an SL8 ( size 56) home for awhile to try before I got my bike. I knew I wanted a 56, just need to get fitted properly 🤙

@br5380 3 месяца назад

@@derekfeehan I've always been XL/58 sized (due to a Yard of inseam, yet short bodied), but, after demo-ing a few bikes I realised that the best option was to work out what size/geometry I should be riding, and then look for a bike that fits my need - or go custom.

@derekfeehan 3 месяца назад

I had to do a bike fit just to go indoors and get out of the rain 🤣 the amount of rain I’m after getting I’m definitely due a good summer 🙏

@kennethsch2943 3 месяца назад

Hey Derek, how tall are you and which frame size did you get? :)

@derekfeehan 3 месяца назад

I’m 6ft 183cm and I’m on a 56. Chris did say to me I’m nearly at the upper limit for the 56 and with my flexibility not great, I should maybe consider a 58 for my next bike. It might give me a little bit more comfort and freedom.

@kennethsch2943 3 месяца назад

@@derekfeehan Thanks! I am 172cm on a 54 Specialized and I feel quite stretched even with a short reach setup (and I am not very flexible myself). Your position at the other end of the range looks more comfortable to me actually. I believe I would rather have the handlebar closer and leaning down a bit more than the other way around :)

@derekfeehan 3 месяца назад

It’s mad how it goes, it’s a complete individual thing. I thought I was going right and I won’t lie, I felt I was getting closer every time to the bike fitting perfect but when I saw a photo at the start I had a massive hunched back. At the end I was definitely much more open and felt better for it. I’ll give it a few wks now and see how it fairs out 🤙

@taxi9554 3 месяца назад

Need to offer more ice cream for subscribers (which Zoe is still not subscribed 😂) and zip tie a break down kit to the bike so you don’t forget it.

@Dcully Месяц назад

I used to get bike fits done until three different so called fitters gave dramatically different results on my last bike.

@derekfeehan Месяц назад

Yeah bit of a mad one, I don’t think it’s an exact science. All these machines can give you numbers but your body might say different. In fairness when the fit I did with Specialized was done I was told to do a few rides and see where I’m at. I could come back and make adjustments, I was even getting follow up calls to check everything was going good. Thankfully I’ve noticed a massive improvement since I got it done.

I made me fit the bike by yoga and stretching. Feel so comfortable on the bike now.

@derekfeehan 3 месяца назад

That’s something I need to do. I never stretch or cool down after a ride 🫣

@ketle369 3 месяца назад

@@derekfeehan Highly recommended. You get several benefits, one is you obviously get more aero. You also get less fatigue on the bike and can put down more power for longer. And balance on the bike too from the yoga.🧘
