Thanks for the video!

Hi, I fully agree that the sattle tilt adjustment is a pain in the a.. -> you mentioned, that a good mechanic could solve the issue. As I am sure you are one of the top mechanics, could you please give me a hint how to adjust? My problem is, that with correct saddle height and horizontal saddle, I get a lot of pressure on my "soft tissue" but just 1 step down is kind of a skiing slope for my butt... cheers from Austria (the one w/o the kangaroos ;-))

The problem is you didn't explain anything in the video

Michael are these compatable with a standard Giant Trinity TT bar setup ?

Ouch. This doesn't look to have aged well, but information like this never can. We also shouldn't believe that today's (late 2024) "modern" opinions about where your elbows and hands should be should be taken any more seriously than this was/is. It just goes to show you that bike fitters can only have an opinion and can't have the only right answer. Everything is 'of its time'. Influencers and manufacturers can shift positioning and fit trends. Then everything will come full circle so they can sell you something you don't have that will make you go faster.

Really helpful video because it’s great hearing the perspective on this bike from someone who does a lot of fits on it! Do you have a similar video for the Quintanna Roo V-PRI? I’m considering that bike or this new Gen 3 Speed Concept.

Hello. What i must buy to have it?

The Problem With ISM Saddles is the title of this video.

Hi im riding a QR prfive di2, and im haing a hard time handling the bike when holding the wing 10a basebar, its too slipery and my wrist keeps mooving. Im considering changing to a dropbar and sti, can uou please give me some advice for better handling?

Hey, just saw this set up and was exactly what I wanted to install. Unfortunately both bolts attaching the trek aero bars to the original mono riser sheared off completely during a 70.3 and caused me to hit the road at 60km/h. After googling this problem a lot of others have had the same bolts snap on them, so I’d highly recommend you replace the original bolts you used here to attach the adaptor plate to the mono riser with something denser perhaps. Ends up being such a large amount of side to side leverage placed on two weak bolts. Frustratingly I just found a large crack in the carbon top tube, so not even sure if mine is repairable yet!

I am 5' 6" tall (170cm) and have 29" leg length. I experimented and modified my crank arms to 155mm with GREAT success. It's as simple at this: Why would I use an arm fitted for someone with 33-35" legs (or longer)? The range of available road bike arms are (generally) limited to 1.0 cm. (165-175) A sampling range of 6" leg length differences is 14cm !!!! Well, I learned. My Zwift output went up about 10watts and the fluidity which I ride with is perfect FOR ME. Good awareness. Thank you.

While riding my road bike I feel the need to periodically move my bum back in the saddle. I find that over the course of my ride, my bum tends to move forward and I then have to keep repositioning it further back. I feel the need to do this because I am uncomfortable closer to the nose of the saddle and I feel my legs aren’t extending enough as I paddle. Can you explain why this is happening and what I need to do?

What about the cleat placement more foward or back? Thanks.

Is the garmin mount can be removed from this system and I can still use it?

I’ve lost my “clip” that attaches to the hydration system. Basically came loose and fell off during a ride…where can I buy the clip? Is it included with the purchase of the hydration system or included with the faceplate or sold separately? Worried I won’t be able to find another “clip”

Hi where you located?

Hi, i had aero bars on my old 25,8 diameter handlebar. My new bar beeing 31,8 doesn't fit anymore for the aerobars. Its eightee way to big or to thin firther to the sides. Any suggestions? Can i use soacers to make the handlebar bigger towars the ends?

I'm having some hip impingement since my last bike fit. Would moving the saddle more forward open up the hip?

Can i rotate the bracket 180 degrees so that the computer holder is facing forward?

royal waste of time. thanks sir

This has been my favorite episode so far. I love how the coach talks about being mindful during every session to get the most out of it and to then be more relaxed after the session has finished.

Is there any way at all to use the FastTT plate along with the Trek mono plug in? I bought the plate thinking it was installed on top of the mono plug-in similar to how the original trek "bridge" is installed. Plan was to use the fasttt plate so that I could use 51 Speedshop cups & wedges

Cool honest review 👌🏻 I'm a giant trinity & propel owner. But also a specialized fan boy tbh. But same I went with the Trinity and propel, vs. The venge and transition at the time... because of price; because the spec version of similar bikes were 2,500 to 3,000 $ more in price but the transition when observed had a faulty fork/headset design that rubbed itself to crumble on its proprietary edges when turning the fork all the way to left/right for car fitment. Which seemed like a design fail on specs part. So I got the Trinity and never looked back. Upgraded from a Kestrel Talon TT bike, been happy ever since. wba. I don't feel the NEED to upgrade it, since everything I ride it, people say "nice NEW bike". And they are surprised when I tell them it's like 5 or 6 years old, really. It is at the higher echelon of tt tech IMHO, so I'm staying w it for many a year. Done.

Is the first one the diamond black / iris color? What a whippet!

Hi I liked the ISM Reef but it kept breaking and the leather came away after 6 mths. They think it's because I'm riding on the nose too much, but I don't actually, I'm quite central. So I've ordered the PN4.1 hoping that it'll be a bit more robust, do you think it'll be okay?

I used this but could never figure out how to remove the container to wash it.

Thanks for the video. Very helpful. Could you tell me which extensions exactly you're using for the second option? My Trinity has the Giant flatter extensions but I'd like to try the ones you have fitted.

Im looking at buying a Ism for my road bike. Anywhere between 20-60 miles in 1 go. What ism would you recommend

Great video!!

Can you put 28c tires?

that just sold it for me!! Thanks for that video!!!

Thanks for the review. I'll look into your TT fit information. I can use all the help I can get in the 70+ Masters Men TT races. :-)

Use them with Fizik shoes to get a true mid foot position

can i clamp these aero bars on a carbon hadnlebars?

Awesome vid but wow, that Retul bike though 😍

I doubt you're still helping with fits 5 years later, but I just wanted to mention that I've been riding a pn3.1 40 for about four years now and I can never ride for more than an hour before my sit bones are on fire. I'm going through some videos today to see if there are any adjustments I can make to help with that. Height, fore and aft, tilt etc. I will say that ISM has amazing customer service. If you call, odds are the owner or his wife will answer the phone, this is the guy who designed these saddles and he's more than willing to spend some time aking sure you choose the right saddle for your needs and if there is an issue they'll take care of it. I just wish I could find a way to make this saddle comfortable for long rides.

I have a Specialized Shiv and it’s very true that the arm rest tend to flex on the side. Will the profile design ergo or revolvers fit if I intend to switch the arm rest?

This looks nice..... my question is.... the mono riser, going to a double riser, is this more aero ?? ive pre ordered a trek speed concept slr9 SRAM Red axs, and I am looking at a different cockpit for when it arrives, or just after ... not sure yet if I should just get fitted ride it see how I feel or change the cockpit. do you have these attachments already for this bike. disc brake version.

I saw this bike in Noosa. Loved the cock pit set up...googled it!

Price for this setup? Cheers

Exactly what I was looking for,. Thanks so much for the video!

I have the same bike i just placed a spacer on the upper arm rest to tilt it a bit and modified an arm resr copying the tririg scoops. It all worked for me, not just so praying mantis like this but it made my arm confortable. Now i am only gripping the upper part of the aerobar where the di2 buttons are placed but i sticked a bathroom tape to get more grip

How easy (or how challenging) is it to install a Profiledesign HSF aeria hydration system on the IA Advanced? I already have the aeria stem + hydration system which i used on a previous bike. Thanks in advance.

Very useful, as I considering buying this bike in 2023)))! Thank you

Do these things ever go on sale?

3T Aduro cradles with Ceegee pads are super comfortable and allow movement fore and aft for hills. I ride flat arms. The hands up position is slower for me via real-world testing.

Sending this to a friend , smart idea.

Realy good idea! I will try out! 🎉
