Description

The must read, fully updated guide to Bike Fit.

Burning thighs and lungs aside, cycling shouldn't be a painful or uncomfortable experience. If you suffer from numb hands, hot-spots on your feet, back pain or saddle discomfort when you're riding, chances are something isn't right with your bike set-up, your body, or how they interact.

This updated edition includes added material on:

why almost all cyclists would benefit from shorter cranks
an in-depth look at saddle health, with special attention and advice for female cyclists
watt-saving advice for time trialists and triathletes
how to make indoor cycling more tolerable

Let Phil Burt guide you through your own Bike Fit, to ensure your bike and body work in harmony.
