So, Ive been hearing a lot of hype about bike fits being the secret to unlocking ultimate cycling efficiency, but Im calling foul. Can someone explain to me how a bike fit can magically transform my pedaling style, increase my power output, and shave precious seconds off my sprint times? I mean, come on, its just a bike, right?
Ive seen pros with optimized fits struggling to keep up with the peloton, and Ive seen Cat 3 riders on ill-fitting bikes crushing it on the local circuit. Whats the real deal here? Is it all just a bunch of snake oil and marketing fluff, or is there some actual science backing up these claims?
And dont even get me started on the so-called experts who claim to be able to dialed in a bike fit in an hour-long session. Please, if it were that easy, wouldnt we all be riding like pros by now?
So, serious question: can a bike fit really make a tangible difference in my cycling efficiency, or is it all just a bunch of hooey?
