Really clear and thorough walkthrough - thank you! The app seems like a good sense check of rider position. I feel too many bike fitters want to make fitting seem like a mystical art that only they can truly understand. I hope the app will help demystify things and give new riders more confidence to trust their own feelings
Added to my watchlist for later, but I’m curious if this could be a good solution for new cyclists to try finding which bike size would fit for them. Then later down the line dial it all in perfectly with a real fitter. That could be a really happy solution in my mind
I think this is really what something like this is about- you’ll see that it’s not without some limitations but for costs it’s worth considering to help you get correct bike size and maybe even help you dial it in
I wish bike geometry was better. All the websites say I should be a 54 medium (I'm 5'9"). I went to a bike shop to try a Specialized Allez and the 52 small (5'4" to 5'7") fit me perfectly. Without checking I would never have thought a bike "meant" for someone 5" shorter than me would fit. For reference I also tried a Trek and a Giant and I found the small fitted me best as well.
I agree- I have a TH-cam channel, I watch a lot of cycling content, I’ve had two bike fits and I still find it overwhelming. With one piece bar and stems, it’s just all the more important to get a feel for your bike before you buy it.
Oufff… good question. If I’m honest I don’t think it’s set up for TT setups and you’ll constantly end up being told your hip angle is too small and your elbow bend is too much. I don’t think it’s set up to do a TT fit as they would have to pull in a lot of data to create the algorithm. I’ll email them and ask

Pretty interesting App I have to say. Nice that calculates aero and standard position as well 👍

@@thewattlife looking forward to the video

What stem did you get? And what’s your stack height?
I've got a Canyon with a carbon handlebar, so I can't really do much about my stem length....😅
I love the look of the Aeroad but i dont love the Canyon bar system. Not being able to change/order stem length is a pain
@@thewattlife I have to agree, it looks great but it's very limiting if something is a little off.
Amazing! Looking forward to upgrade my Nikon z6 version 1❤
Nice video. Take love
Thank you
Any good for TT setup?
