REAL ATHLETES, REAL RESULTS:

"My previous best was a 22 for a 40K bike. However, this weekend I was able to average 22.9 mph"

"The real world results are beyond words - pretty amazing!!!!! ...feel the best I have in 15 years...

"I just feel that this is soooo much better than before! A few tests on the road, tells me that my treshold watts have increased by about 50!"

"I cannot believe how much faster I am - today I was over 15 mins quicker over 50 miles!!"

"I cut off 3 min and 10 sec from my best 30k time…"

"I shaved 3 minutes off that time and upped my average power output about 30 watts as well!"

"I just cannot believe how much faster the position is. I never would have believed it."

"A @#%$&*! Human Missile. Just did my local 90' loop -- on a windy day -- in 82 mins. 22mph is the new cruise speed. Killer."

"I've probably added about 1-1.5 mph to my average over the old tt bike. I didn't know that a bike change and a tweak here and there could make such a difference."

Nothing will do more for your speed than an optimal bike fit that gives you the "Big Three": AERODYNAMICS, POWER and COMFORT - not just one or two. But how do you know if YOUR bike fit is optimal?

Whether you are just getting started, or you are a seasoned veteran, you can benefit from bike fit analysis. Lots of athletes assume that a flat aero position requires extreme flexibility and core strength, and is something only elites can achieve. WRONG! If you've had back or shoulder problems that you attribute to being "too low", chances are it had nothing to do with the degree of "lowness", but was caused by a too-narrow hip angle and/or a too-long cockpit. You cannot simply change one thing on an aero bike and assume you are fit properly - everything interacts: drop, seat angle, seat height, and reach. Without a biomechanical bike fit analysis you are shooting in the dark. We find again and again that our clients are MORE COMFORTABLE, MORE POWERFUL, and MORE AERO.

We are the original digital bike fit experts for anyone who races against the clock. Aero-position bike fit is totally different than standard road bike fit. Bike fit formulas based on static measures of body dimensions are not sufficient to find a good aero position. Only body angle analysis can tell the whole story, and the best way to do that is to measure angles under load and in-motion, not in a posed state.

Our bike fit protocol also works great for road bike fits! We can make sure that your body is tracking through the same angles exhibited by the world's top professional road racers.

Best of all, if you don't live somehwere near Rhode Island, we can do your bike fit online for a very reasonable price. Until now, most people didn't have access to an experienced bike fitter that specializes in aero positioning. Now everyone does!

We can help you:
  • Get faster and more comfortable on your current bike
  • Decide which new frame will work best for you
  • Choose components and upgrades
WE RACE, just like you. We've been racing triatlons and time trials for 16 years, from sprint to Ironman distance. We've made the mistakes, figured out the solutions, and now we can pass them on to you.

SO STOP GUESSING, GET FIT, and START HAMMERING THE COMPETITION!

"The biggest changes in aerodynamic drag and in cycling performance come from changes in body position, which can improve 40k time by over 6 minutes. An excellent position on a regular bike with regular wheels will allow you to out perform a rider with a typical position on an aero bike with aero wheels by 3 to 4 minutes." - Cervelo.com

Dede's comments:
"Check out my new bike. I think you’ll agree, I am incredibly more aero on the Airfoil. Todd Kenyon from TTBikeFit.com and my mechanic extraordinaire, Brian Hughes from Fast Splits ( http://www.fastsplits.com/ ) have encouraged me to take advantage of the greater latitude the Kestrel offers in terms of my position. What amazed me most; I am more comfortable."

New England Tri Legend John O'Connell visits TTBikeFit!


For those of you not "old-school" enough to remember John, he used to mix it up with the big boys in the early days of tri, and was known as one of the strongest cyclists in the sport. More importantly, John was and is a heck of a nice guy who was always willing to help a novice out. He's making a comeback this year, and I would say he's well on his way since my Computrainer is still smoking from the 1000 watt output. Note that John rode the unusual solid-framed Trimble in the old days. Look for him on a new version before too long. In the mean time he'll be switching to a TTX.

John's comments:
"Todd, It was great to meet you and your wife today. I was just thinking back to the early years of triathlon and remembering my first pro race when Mike Pigg showed up at the Bud Light USTS Miami in ’86 or ‘87 with a pair of the original aero bars designed my Boone Lennon. He crushed the invincible Scott Molina on the bike that day. The very next day I was fortunate enough to have a prototype sent out which I attached and just rode in the “aero position”. There would be many bars and many crazy positions that would follow not to mention other gadgets that supposedly “increased power” or “improved position”. Seat tube angles would later change as well. However, through all of this technological change no one actually was able to pull it all together for the athlete in terms of what was best for them individually when it came to their own optimal position and bike for that matter. It seemed like it was all a guessing game as to what “looked” or “felt” right. Today that guessing game was eliminated for me. In my opinion anyone that rides a bike, in a triathlon especially, should use your system! It is hands down the best! Sincerely. John- Triathlete since 1982."

Lisbeth breaks age group course record with a 10:10 win (3rd overall) at Ironman Arizona





New Pro Alex Mroszczyk-McDonald gets an online TTBikeFit!
Alex was top amateur in Kona 2007 and raced Kona this year as a pro.

>
Alex's comments:
"Working with TT Bike Fit was very easy and very helpful. After I sent in a video I quickly received back a highly detailed video analysis of my position and recommendations for improvements. What impressed me the most is that there was a lengthy explanation including angles and distances to explain the benefit of each recommendation. Lastly, my position was compared with some athletes of similar and better caliber than myself to demonstrate how these changes may look and what affect they may have. After working with TT Bike Fit I am riding more powerfully, more comfortably and most importantly more quickly."
