My First Professional Bike Fit EVER - Retül Bike Fit 

this is a great video and you have a great story. i have been riding 40+ years and you reminded how important a pro bike fit is, i scheduled it the next day and saw improvements right away. I'm not a zwift guy, but excited to see your progress (i was the same, out of shape as a youth, went on to do Ironman). Can't wait to hear your TdF recaps, I'm so sad Roglic isn't there, want him to win so bad! Best of luck, its a great channel

my gripe with this video is the sit bones measurement. 90 degrees torso angle is not the typical riding position, the sit bones are going to be closer together the more you rotate the pelvis forward, resulting in a smaller measurement for saddle width. As long as he's comfortable on it i'm good, but that test is recommending a saddle for leisure city riding instead of proper road riding.

Great vid Benji…loving your journey on the bike

This is awesome stuff Benji! Great content. Really enjoyed the video. Your best so far, I'd say!

amazing video Benji! Both informative and entertaining. I've been thinking about getting a bikefit as well, might just make that call right now! Have fun riding

Benji is doing great. I have not been on Lanterne in some time and all I can say is keep it up!

Awesome video!!! The one thing I wish I would've done earlier in my cycling journey is a bike fit. I only did it after almost 4 years of cycling and I immediately beat all my PBs at local climbs. And as feedback; I really enjoyed how you got someone else to do the "serious talk" and you made funny comments like when he asked where's the discomfort? and you say everywhere hahah

Good video once again!

Awesome benji makes me realise i should get one too, its way more involved than i thought

Mate, I had the worst time in a retul adjusted position. mad saddle sores when i increased my average volume from 8 to my current 14-16hs/week. I don't want to be negative on your promo things and, by all means, do your thing, but after I had my fit with James Thomas (yes, the guy in the francis cade videos) I became really comfortable on the bike and am able to push myself harder esp in 12%+ inclines.

Just like golf club fittings, I love watching these

Benji you legend!

Wow - your first EVER! First EVER EVER EVER?

I have had a few 'standard' bike fit sessions, this past year, with a new bike, I had my first bike fit using the ReTul system. The ReTul system was an absolute game-changer. My biggest issue last year was some significant 'hot foot' on longer rides, this is completely gone. Additionally, I do not have any specific post-ride discomfort issues no matter the length of the ride. Highly recommend the ReTul system!

He seemed good fitter

Really interesting to see this.

Benji this irl content has been fantastic, informative and you’ve really come along cycling wise but will we see an end to the Tudor career or new pcm content soon?

I would like to stress that the most important part of a bike fit is often the time spent before actually changing the fit of the bike itslef..really nice to see that in this video, the most important measurements are taken on your body to understand potential asymmetries, unfortunately most of bike fits are software only and fit you inside a predetermined "box" which is deemed optimal for a prototype human being..last but not the least, bike fit should be incremental, with small modifications leading to the optimal position, avoiding the risk of a massive and thus traumatic change in your riding position..great to see all these elements in this video! power should not be massively influence, unless your initial bike fit was total garbage...however, you might feel a better "endurance" as the load should be well balanced between hamstrings and quads..once you find your "optimal" position, you should be able to ride more, so eventually, it is an improvement in performance

I go to the fitter once a year to make sure everything is tip top. Wise choice Benji.

You're so lucky to be able to get this fit and see saddles in stock, I got a romin evo 155m saddle last year and they haven't been restocked since in my country :(

Nice one Benji 👍

amazing video! Mega Content

Awesome vid! Keep this type of content coming. A lot of the foundations of cycling are skipped like having a proper fit. I went for a retul fit and afterwards, I no longer had back pain and went from only being able to ride for an hour or two to being able to be in the saddle all day. Also noticed that my efforts in terms of power were improved and more consistent after the fit.

Nice video thank you for the insights! Do you mind sharing the stretches you did?

Another fully “indoor/zero road” bike fit! With new saddle, footbeds etc. $800usd? I’ve been riding since the late-80s and if I had a dollar for every time I’ve ridden with someone who got a fit and within 2-weeks was fiddling with saddle height/angle; I’d almost have enough to buy a Cervelo :). Benji you should ask some real pros how they REALLY fit…even dudes who set up in wind tunnels carry tools.

good shit Benji

ahahah that belly looking at me from bibs))

I am very impressed with your sprint power. I have been riding for a while now and I still don't have it

What I would like to see is how much variation there is between different bike fitters, because I have heard a lot of different recommendations

Great video Benji, your wahoo mount is designed to be positioned on the other side of your stem btw 🤗

Was there any discussion around stem length, handlebar width, handlebar height? Or was it focus solely on seat and pedals?

That was really interesting! Great to do that early on in the journey to avoid injuries :) I wonder though, how often does one have to repeat this to stay on top of it? Once per season or so?

Often wondered if I should have a Retul fit, sounds like its a bit meh, and at £200 for the fit, £125 for the footbeds if needed, and possibly a saddle at £150. From the UK you can have a long weekend in Mallorca for the same money!

When does the review of pcm2023 come out

Well good vid mate, great narration and you're as wonky as me! No idea you were so tall. Also, without being rude, losing a bit of timber will do you a world of comfort. You cant cheat the physics. Us guys at 100kg sitting on the same mobile carbon vasectomy machine as someone of 50kg.... yeh. It's going to be different.

Benji, when you went to have the bike fit did the fitter and yourself go out on a ride together so he can see what your like pre-fit. That's the 6 million dollar question.

When will PCM return ?😢

What is the into track name?

is the BTWIN / TRIBAN now only for the shelf ?

Nice video! What is price range for a fitting like that?

Béni great your channel came up in my feed. Latern listener since b4 you joined.

No adjustments to handlebar width, shifter position, stem length or forward/backwards saddle positioning is interesting, must have been pretty close beforehand

Benji, do you feel the same temptation I do, to purchase a new bike whenever you go into the bike shop? feels like a candy store to me.

Ok 2 min in i call bs and not watching 😂😂

i have same footbeds, because i also was a fatass. it sucks for 5-10 hours and then it's top notch and u never want to miss them again 🥰🥰

Is MAAP kit big in Europe? Nice to see Aussie brands out there!

But did it take away the leg-hurt?

Those old cleats were fine....

Haha, someone is getting 'SKINNY' and one day . . . unrecognizable

That pillow you sit on the measure how your weight is distributed makes no sense. You aren't in a riding position when you sit on it like that, the angles are completely wrong.

This sitbone width stuff is nonsense, you’re not sitting upright on a road bike saddle so your sitbones as measured are nowhere near the saddle.

Be very careful about bike fitting/ers, it is a very smudgy grey area in the bike industry. The best way to look at it is, it's a rule of thumb. I have been looked at 4 time and they all got it completely wrong, 100% Fact.

The feet part was interesting (not that I am the type of person to Google "Celebrity Name Feet") and the quick turn around of the custom footbeds.
