YOUR RIDING, YOUR STARTING POINT
Online TT and triathlon bike fitting
Review the position you can sustain on the forearm pads, then consider the practical limits of the bike and event.
Start with the setup you ride
Begin with your riding details and equipment. With a compatible indoor trainer, you can record a clear side-on view and compare repeatable observations. Without a trainer, choose the basic setup route and record what you can check.
Keep your original measurements and recordings before any adjustment. If the guidance supports a change, make one within the component instructions and repeat the same check.
What to record
- Record forearm-pad stack, reach, width and tilt where known.
- Check a sustainable position, forward view and the transition to the brakes.
- Confirm the manufacturer’s pad adjustment chart before using a frame-size shortlist.
Keep the result in context
A camera view does not measure drag or prove your position meets race rules. The lowest front end is not automatically your best position.
Uncertain checks can stay uncertain. The next step may be an individual assessment rather than an adjustment. Your follow-up ride adds context that a stationary camera cannot provide.
