Cycling for 5 hours without any pain (except leg muscles :) or num feeling is so exciting. I wish I met Wei before.
Also thank you for all the valuable guidance and information while choosing a new bike.
Had a full performance fit session on my Triathlon bike with Wei and Matt. In addition to numbers and graphs, Wei focused more on how I actually felt; instead of discrete positions, Wei investigated the kinematics and took care to improve my stability and pedaling fluency. There always exists factors that aren’t trivially measurable, in which case more humane approaches shine as expertise.
I have been out riding for several times after the session to really let the new pose sink in. I actually had doubts on the saddle height during the session (it felt too low), but the new setting turned out to be a big performance boost: better force exertion and hence power transfer over a larger section of each revolution, higher stability at high cadence, and for the first time I actually feel my core is engaged in each pedal stroke- much more powerful, feels amazing. Also, the higher, more upward tilted, and more widely spaced areo bar gives me a bigger room to breath while reliving my neck and shoulder pain. I almost feel like sleeping in the aero position, no kidding.
Oh and Wei wrote me a detailed report that includes all the measurements, ends and goals of each adjustment, off-bike work details and stuff, with all photos and videos attached.
I would also add two further points: 1. Wei is a really great communicator and listener 2. The toasted vegan banana bread at the cafe two doors east from Cloud 9 (Where FOUNDATION is based) makes the visit doubly worthwhile. Yum.
They are very good, they analysis everything and at the end, they send you a bike report of your fit, which had everything written down and had their recommendations.
I found out the cycling shoes ( my old ones) were too small for me, as they measured my food length and width. At the end recommended me what shoe brands would suit me and my new pair are AMAZING.
The follow up appointment was very good, as they made some adjustments which helped my riding posture and made me more comfortable when riding my bike.
Thanks to them, I feel more connected with my bike when I am riding outdoors and on Zwift.
Definitely worth every penny spent.
My favourite part was that the bike rig had my exact measurements and after trying and trying loads of different saddles, I found the one for me!
Wei is extremely knowledgeable, understanding and just an overall great person who is ready to talk to you about anything and everything bike fit related.
He took into account all of my concerns, issues, riding goals and adapted my fit, while explaining the changes in detail each time to make sure I understood them. I have a much better understanding of what sort of bike I need, the setup I'll be most comfortable in and the equipment surrounding it.
The detailed report at the end of the fit really makes it easy to understand every aspect of the change and contains all the measurements that I can use to setup my bike.
All in all, Wei is one of the best in the business, and I'd recommend him highly.
