(we don't have any unhappy ones!) NEW! "Hi Todd, TTBikeFit Rocks! Just a quick note to let you know that things went very well for me in Florida, considering it was my first Ironman and marathon. The bike felt great. The position you set me up with was super comfortable yet incredibly aero. The bike could not have felt any better. I rode the first 95 miles conservatively and pushed on the last 17. When I got off the bike my legs felt fresh and ready for the run. If it weren't for TTBIKEFIT it would have been a much longer day! Thanks Again"-LM, in-person fit NEW! "Todd, Just want to say thanks for the fit. It has made a big difference. I have done three races and placed at all three. (Gloucester 2nd AG, Firmman 1st AG, Duxbury 2nd AG.) It took a little to get used to but I am really feeling comfortable and fast. I am looking forward to a fast bike in FLA. Same goes for my Wife. She got 2nd in her AG at Firmman, with a flat, otherwise she would have been first. This weekend she got 1st AG at Duxbury. It took her a few weeks but she now loves the fit. Thanks again." "Todd, Had a great race in FLA 10:25, 20th AG, 227 overall. I felt awesome on the bike.. being in a good aero position was key due to some pretty good wind. I passed 700 people on the bike. ( I am a crappy swimmer). My legs were in good shape going into the run... Thanks again. I will be down sometime this winter for a fit on my road bike."-JB, in-person fit NEW! "Todd - My new bike is fitting me like a GLOVE, I am in LOVE with it... L O V E!" - RM, in-person TTFitBike prefit and new bike NEW! "Hi Todd, I had a couple of rides on the new setup and it is definitely faster by about 1 mph overall, and about 1.5 mph on the climbs. Also, I am more comfortable while seated and don't need to constantly adjust my position on the seat. New seat is proving to be a good change - I am glad I could try different ones before deciding. Thank you very much for all your help - things are betterer, gooder and fasterer now :)- SA, in-person fit NEW! "The fit was super comfortable, felt much better "laid out" and was really able to keep my higher cadence moving along comfortably. Less strain, less effort, nothing forced. Back felt great, legs felt great, I was on fire but didn't feel like I was putting out any extra effort. My coach told me to be much more careful with my intensities this week, so I pulled back a little bit but still got a great workout in. Here's the catch: I set a new course record up Pig Hill to TV Tower. I've ben using that as a benchmark all summer. My last pr was just before Placid. All good signs! Considering I was backing off and still setting a new tt record up the climb was a big confidence booster that I'm in decent shape. THANKS! VERY happy. As small as the tweaks appeared, they made a big difference. BIG TIME." -VM, in-person fit NEW! "I finally connected with Todd and spent time getting fitted on the bike. What a difference - I am a lot more comfortable and faster now! Also, Todd is really knowledgable, smart and pays great attention to detail - all important qualities in my book. Thanks again for introducing me to Todd." - SA, in-person fit "Todd, I wanted to write you one more time and say how much I appreciate the help you provided me in January. I spent 6 weeks in FL this summer and won every race I entered, and in all of them the bike was the differential. I broke 2 overall course records, and 2 bike records, one of them averaging nearly 26 mph (which includes the running in and out of transition. Computer speed was closer to 27 mph)."-FB (pro triathlete) in-person fit "Hi Todd, You did a TT fit for me over the winter and I am super happy with the fit of the bike. I have had PR's each time I race and I feel very comfortable on the bike. By the way, not only was I very happy with my bike time @ IMLP, but I ran my fastest marathon after I got off the bike... - DG, in-person fit "Hi Todd! I finally have a minute to report back on the fit. OMG, I cannot believe it! Out of the box on Saturday I went 4.5 hours, then 3 hours on Sun, and a 1:15 FT workout this morning. Here are the bullet points: NO saddle pain! Sure there is a little breaking in to do, but it's minor. I was totally comfortable on the Adomo in the bars and on the bullhorns. Don't need no stinkin' risers! I am 100% comfortable in the more aggressive aero position. By comparison, I'm embarrassed to admit how little time I spent in aero with the last set up.This weekend, I was down 80% of the time, as opposed to (maybe) 20% in the past (I sheepishly admit). My husband was amazed when I told him I was going down these particular hills in the bars, turning corners etc. It's a 180 from where I was. I can climb standing up. Don't know why, but I could not hold any standing climbs before. The bike it much more stable. I didn't even realize I had all these problems going on. The muscles need some adapting, but I don't think that's going to take long. I had trouble hitting the watts this weekend, but I think it's a combo of the new position and fatigue. Today the FTP workout was much better. Still not hitting them with the "ease" that I was a few weeks ago, but I do think it will come back quickly.The bike is probably faster overall, so if the watts are down a little, so what? Legs fresher off the bike? Definitely. Again, I need a little more adaptation, but this will be much, much better than previously. I could not be happier. I am in utterly amazed at the difference.100% worth the time and cost. At the moment, I can't think of one thing I need to tweak. Thank you so much!" - LP, in-person fit "Todd - In case I haven't told you - I LOVE my Kestrel bike! Because I have gotten so much faster riding the Kestrel, I was able to win my age group at Lake Placid and set a new course record. All of this was totally unexpected because it was my first Ironman and I don't run very well. However, I was able to put about 45 minutes between myself and the other women in my age group when the bike was done, and fortunately, no one quite made up the difference on the run. So now I'm heading to Kona! Thank you so much for recommending the bike and for the great bike fit and for the emergency headset repair the Monday before Lake Placid."- MH, in-person fit "Hey Todd, I just wanted to thank you for setting me up for a great race! After my nightmare swim, I knew I needed to ride my way back into the race on Sunday. No only did your fit allow me to do that but I was able to get off the bike and run a 3:12 marathon. Great job on your part. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I grabbed the one roll-down slot in my AG so I'll see you in Kona in October." - SR, inperson fit "Todd- I just thought I would let you know that the fit continues to pay dividends. I was 2nd off the bike in my AG, and did that on an average of 200W. I was shocked at how fast I was going on the flats w/o having to work very hard. Anyway, I gave away two places on the run, but still set a 12' PR over my 2008 race, set a new bike PR, and will be off to the Big Island again. Also, I noticed at Mooseman that people would escape on the hills and I would reel them in on the flats. Once again, it is all about the aerodynamics." - MP, in-person fit "Hi Todd- I wanted to say thanks for the great bike fit. M and I were both impressed with all of the time you spent with us. My bike finally feels like it fits. It really feels like a different bike altogether. I was able to get in 160 miles that weekend we saw you. By far the furthest I have riden and I felt good. I know M is happy as well although hasn't been out too much. You have a strong support crew at EN and I will continue to sing your praises. Thanks again." - CC, in-person fit "Hi Todd, Just a quick note to tell you I got a great test of the new position with Dede last night! It was all threshold work so very tough. For the first time ever on the TT bike I was able to do the workout on the aero bars and generate power. Felt strong and comfortable. Also, no calf cramps!!! First time in 3 weeks. Unbelievable. Thank you so much for your work!" - DS, in-person fit "Hi Todd, I wanted to thank you again for such an awesome experience yesterday. When I got home I just had to get the TT bike on the trainer. So I did. Felt so powerful and relaxed. Very happy with your work!" - DS, in-person fit "Todd- Thanks for all of your time and efforts today. You are clearly exceptional at what you do, how lucky for us!" - DC, in-person fit "Todd, I had some time to kill between practices and decided to go out for a test ride to see how she handled (just fine) and it was pretty dam sweet! I think you should change your name to the Bike Genie because I was looking for a better ride and my wish was granted. I just played around near PC but was able to ride right up the hills around the school with out even having to break out of the aero bars. I did feel like I was about a foot from the ground in front and that was awesome as well. Now I want to go put on my carbon and aero helmet and go rage all over town but I guess that with have to wait for a month or two. YOU ARE THE MAN!" - ML, in-person fit "Thanks Todd, I have been feeling stronger on the bike, could be combination of training and the changes. I will use this as a base and see how things go. Lower back pain is gone and I have increased my watts by 15%. Thanks again for your help - Rich and Pat are on the money when they recommended you." - SM, online fit "Hey Todd- Thanks for all your time and efforts last week! I had a tremendous experience at your place and appreciate all your extra efforts! So far I have rode the bike a bunch of times and feel great on the new set up! I definitely feel stronger! Do you normally find that athletes power output in general improve with your fitting? Thanks again and I appreciate the information on the base bar as well!" - ES, in-person fit "Todd -I wanted to thank you for setting me up on the P2C this year and working with me to optimize the position. I was able to finally acheive the position you asked for after working with a physical therapist on stretching my pecs, strengthening my lower abs, and gradually reducing the height of the aero bars week by week. I can now ride there comfortably for 3+ hours. This past weekend at the Miami Man 1/2 ironman I was glad to have the 18th best bike split despite the 25-30 mph winds, and finished 1st in my age group and 5th overall with a time of 4:43, a personal best by 10 minutes. Earlier this year I completed a local sprint race and was on the podium for the first time in my life, 3rd overall, and another PR. About a month ago I did a local olympic distance race and finished 4th overall. I call that a success and thank you for your help!" - KM, online fit "Hi Todd -I had abike fit with you about six weeks ago. I can't beleve my times on sprint triathlons. I have taken 3 to 4 min off my times. Thanks again!" -BA, in-person fit "Todd- The real world results are beyond words - pretty amazing!!!!! I rode a short ride this AM and felt the best I have in 15 years... Next day rode 55 miles tempo and afterwards had absolutely the best run I've had off the bike in 15 years. My legs were so fresh I ran a very comfy 1:15 at 7:20 and easily couldve went for another 30 min no problem TTBikeFit rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"-DM, in-person fit "Hi Todd! Just wanted to tell you how things are going with my bike. Short story - It feels perfect! I just feel that this is soooo much better than before! A few test on the road, tells me that my treshold watts has increased by about 50! So once more - perfect! Once again - Thank You!"-JM, online fit (Norway) "Todd,fantastic race in switzerland. finished my first ironman 70.3 :-) indeed pleased and just wanted to share." -BS, online fit (Turkey) "Todd- Thanks for the great job you did on my bike fit. I haven't been this comfortable on the bike in AGES!" BK, USAT Level II Coach, USCF Level II Coach, in-person fit "Hi Todd, Had my first race this weekend. Used your recommended settings... They were a great improvement. Had decent power. Finished 3rd in my age category ...(State champs) and even won the Omnium GC for the weekend in my Cat." -AS, Road Racer, online fit "Hi Todd, Hope all is well. Thanks again for all your help with my guru, it is super comfortable...and fast!! I won my ag and qualified for Kona in St. Croix a few weeks ago, so things are off to a great start." -HE, in-person fit (after a 2nd-place AG finish at a big 70.3) "I have no doubt that the bike and the bike fit contributed! It was more than I had hoped or dreamed for... when I got on the bike I felt like I had unleashed my "inner Chrissie Wellington" - especially on the section with the tailwind, when I was going around 25mph and passing people like crazy. That was fun! Thanks again!" - SF, online fit "Todd, I completed the Half this past Sat and wanted to let you know how it went. The course was flat but it was an extremely windy day. I did the 56 miles in 2:32:56 (22.0 mph) which got me 49th overall (out of 443) and 1st (by 5 mins) in my age group! I was very comfortable in the new position at that pace for that long...In the wind I felt like I was just cutting through it and was flying by everyone else (I started in one of the last waves.) I felt as though they were struggling in the wind and I was so aero that it did not bother me. I just want to thank you for your service and help and to let you know that it definitely helped me!" -JS, online fit "Hi Todd, I took the new bike position and saddle out on a 3 hour ride. It was very windy that day. I felt lower and like I could slice through the wind better. No problems with power output at all. I definitely feel like I'm faster in this new position, but will test it out next week on one of my routes where I've timed myself. Lastly, the Adamo Typhoon seat ROCKS!!! No pain at all---which is a miracle! Thanks for all your help and advice!" -KB, in-person fit "Hi Todd, I got the Adamo seat 2 days ago, and rode about 35 miles on it yesterday- WOW! What a difference. I followed the instructions on your website, and that's all I had to do. No comfort issues at all!" - JD, online fit "Hi Todd, I just wanted to give you some feedback after a long ride today. The fit and bike felt fantastic! The set-up seemed to really conserve my leg energy and I felt crazy power even riding into the wind. I ran some pick-ups after the ride and my legs were far less exhausted than usual. We took turns pulling coming in by four-town farms and I actually hit 28 mph on my pull (with the tail wind of course). The last thing my friend heard from me before I pulled away was "woo hoo!" -DL, in-person fit "Todd, I was out for a 3 hour ride today. The fit felt great and I loved the saddle... Since the group was riding draft free, I was in my aerobars most of the ride and the greater drop was really beneficial in the wind. Thank you! Thank You!" -HA, in-person fit "I did a 3 hour ride yesterday, everything felt great, bike felt good, fit felt great, I think things are going to work fantastic on that frame... Thanks for your time on this, I would never go anywhere else for a fit! During yesterday's ride, I felt like I was positioned on the bike to be able to put out great power." -RW, in-person fit (repeat customer, new bike) "Todd, I want to thank you again for the fit and the extra comfort you provide with knowing what the hell you're doing. As riders/athletes we depend on a lot of outside knowledge and help mechanically. You have it. You will see me again and you will get many referrals from me." - RD, in-person fit "Hey Todd Just wanted to touch base and say thanks again! I rode my bike on my trainer for half the night on Wednesday! Still smiling - just can't believe the difference!" -GW, in-person fit "Hello Todd, I repeated the IM Busselton Western Australia last weekend. Amazing results. Compared to last year I increased speed from 30 to 34kph, and decreased average power from 141 to 126 watts. Even though there was less wind this year, I cannot believe the power figures, but I certainly believe the speed! And the increased speed was not to the detriment of the run, which I decreased by 12 minutes. So thanks very much for your help." - NT, online fit "I rode my bike with the new saddle and bar heights last Saturday at a faster pace with less watts over the same course as the previous weekends. Needless to say I am happy with the outcome from the fitting." - AS, in-person fit "Todd, Greetings. I wanted to give you an update on IM 70.3 Worlds. As you may recall, I had switched frames from a Javelin to a Cervelo and could not seem to get my position right. Your analysis and counsel made a huge difference. My bike split at Worlds this year was 2:17 (24.5 mph). The position felt great. I still have some hip issues running off the bike, so my run was less than spectacular. However, when it was all said and done, I finished 5th in my age group. Thanks again." -LT online fit "I did the race tonight, and it was the best I have ever done. Super fast 26.5 average speed with lots of corners to sprint out of. I have never felt so good in that race, ( it's a weekly crit ) and it was a fast night. I have no back pain and my legs have adjusted to the new pedals so far perfectly. So thanks so much for all the stuff you did. But I am not going to tell my buddies about you. I don't want to give them the same advantage. Haha!" - J.W. in-person road fit "People are starting to ask me how I improved my cycling this year. I’m torn between giving them your name or keeping you a secret!!!!!! No point in giving the competition the edge. Seriously, I’ve told everyone who asked about TT and I hope they can take advantage. Just for the record, my cadence was 97 for the race; up from 93-94 that I have been seeing, and I know that is why I had such a strong run off the bike. I’m really happy with the position!" - A.R., in-person fit "Hi Todd, I wanted to wait to get a few rides in before I could give a definitive answer on the fit you did for me. All I can say is…it is fantastic!!! Just the few tweaks you did and recommending the shorter stem has made huge improvements for me. I did an 83 mile ride today and the pain that I use to get between my shoulders was almost non existant, my leg power and hips felt great and I noticed a positive feeling in the adjustment to my cleats. Thanks for helping someone that is just starting out…you have attributed to my personal biking success. Thanks for your expertise and I look forward to my next fit with you on my next bike!!" - R.W., in-person fit "Hey Todd, Thanks again for the advice. You've hit the nail on the head once again. Bike feels great, and 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. Thanks again." - J.D. online fit "I could NOT have been that fast if not for your fit. I was one of the few guys in the top 500 to negative split the bike (if not the only one) and it got seriously windy out there on lap two. I lost count of the number of times that I was passing people at like 200 watts (falling asleep) doing 23-25mph as they pedalled furiously... My bike TSS was the same as placid last year and I was 13 mins faster. Nuff said. -Coach Patrick, Endurance Nation, qualifies for Kona at IM CDA! (see his fit video on the home page) "Hey Todd, I have been meaning to just send you quick note and let you know how thrilled I am with my bike fit!! I did the Mooseman International race a few weeks ago and I felt great and I was really pleased with my results! My back has been fine (no stiffness) now with my new pedals and aero bars. I have told a number of people about you and have directed them to your web site...Anyway.... I wanted to follow up with you and let you know that I feel your fitting was excellent!!" - C.K. in person fit "A @#%$&*! Human Missile. That bike and fit rocks. Just did my local 90' loop -- on a windy day -- in 82 mins. :) 22mph is the new cruise speed. Killer." -Coach Patrick, Endurance Nation, crushes the bike in Kona with a 5:18! (see his fit video on the home page) "Dear Todd: Perhaps you recall doing a tri bike fit for my wife on her 51-cm Dual earlier this summer. She's been very happy with the fit and has gotten very fast. The ride in her first 1/2 iron race was a great success. My fit worked out really well, too." - D.M. online fit "Todd- We took our bikes to Cincinnati Saturday and did practice ironman and half-ironman rides. I had a fabulous 56 mile ride! I felt like I could keep going forever! My position was very comfortable. I don't feel "squished" like I did before. The seat was perfect. My neck was fairly comfortable as well. I was able to do a 40 minute practice run off the bike as well. Thank you very much for this service!" - B.S., online fit "Todd, Wanted to let you know since your help (fit) I have done two tri's, splitting 1st and 2nd place on each of the bike legs.....I attribute a lot of that to your help." - F. F., online fit "Thanks again. This has been a wonderful experience and I will be recommending you to friends I have here." - C.B., online fit "Thanks again Todd. Just wanted to let you know that I rode a 25 mile 'loosen up' ride yesterday (race is tomorrow) and the bike felt great! I felt like I was getting power and torque throughout the full rotation, with hardly any fatigue! I'm stoked..." -J.D. online fit "Hi Todd, ...loving it. My cadence is up to about 92-94rpm from 88-90rpm and it seems to help with the bike to run transition. I can't prove empirically that it’s a faster position but if I was to go by feel I would say definitely. Thanks again for the fit and all the advice. TT bike fit rules!" - A. R., in-person fit "Todd, I had some positive results this past weekend at St. Anthony's. I was wrong that my previous best was a 22.5 at 40K bike. It was actually a 22.0... However, this weekend I was able to average 22.9 mph on the fast St. A's course. I know I'm in great shape, but I also know much more is due to your help in getting more aero on the bike. I really felt that the wind was almost a non-factor for this race. Thanks for the help. I feel fortunate to have found you and got such a great boost without killing myself in training, although I have been doing plenty of that too. You know, its funny. I own a set of race wheels and an aero helmet that cost plenty, and could barely tell the difference in race results (although seemed to improve some). Changing the body position was much more cost effective." -K.M., online fit "Todd, I took my bike out for a 50 mile ride today and all I can say is that I cannot believe how much faster I am. I rode easy and averaged over 21mph! 6 months ago I rode the same course on my old bike, with amost exactly the same effort level/conditions, and today I was over 15 mins quicker!! I noticed having to make more of an an effort to raise my neck to see ahead, and my neck now feels a bit stiff, but apart from that, the position is very comfortable. I just cannot believe how much faster the position is. I never would have believed it." -W.B, U.K, online fit "Thanks so much for checking out my fit again. I think you made your money ten-fold...The software you have and the expertise you have in bike fitting has helped me tremendously. You have totally surpassed my expectations, and I will definitely refer you to my friends." -M.B., PROFESSIONAL TRIATHLETE, online fit "Hej Todd - I have done my first race in the new position. It went really well! I have done the race before - a 30 km flat course. I cut off 3 min and 10 sek from my best time... I'm in better shape than ever, but still... the fitting has done some (I would say 1 min at least) The best part was that I felt really good at the bike, had no problems at all staying down in the aero bars. I'm about to get a new road bike, I will be back when I have it so we can do at fitting on that one to." - H.H, Denmark, Road cyclist, online fit "Todd; What a difference! I got out yesterday for a good ride and the bike felt great, legs felt great, back felt great - a big difference from before. There will probably be a few others looking you up sooner or later. They are all crazy not to. Thanks for your help." -T.E., in-person fit "Todd, Cannot tell you how much better I am riding these days. Life is indeed fantastic. Thanks for the great fitting and for all of your personal encouragement and very professional assistance!! " -J.S., in-person fit "Todd, Many thanks for all your help and advice. You wouldn't believe how good it is to talk to someone who really knows their stuff." -W.B., U.K., online fit "Todd, I wanted to again thank you. Today I did 45 miles in my new postion and it felt great!!! I have passed your website along to a bunch of my friends...I am so happy with your service it begs the question what else do you offer..." - P.A., NYC, online fit "Hi Todd, Just thought I would give you what appears to be good news on the Tri Bike fit. After I changed the bike layout today I decided to have another go at it with the new bike position. In December 2007 I managed a 52:40 on my monthly fitness test, last week I got this down to a 51:59 which was my best time in two years. This evening I shaved 3 minutes of that time and upped my average power output about 30 watts as well!" - G.M., U.K., online fit "Hi Todd - I really like the new bike fit. Able to do the one leg drills in the aero position for 30 seconds in a big gear whereas prior to fit I could only do it for about 5 secs. In today's 50 min. work out I was definitely much more comfortable in the aero position. I usually feel at least some slight knee patella pain while on the trainer and yesterday I didn't feel any. That's great." - D.G., CT, in-person fit "Todd~ Thank you SO much for the tips! Really, I have no idea and to have someone lending a hand is a tremendous help. There is so much to know and so many mistakes to make~ I appreciate it tremendously...It was really great to meet you and your family, thank you so much for taking the time to explain everything. It was totally worth the trip." - J.C., CT, in-person fit "Thank for a very productive fitting session Saturday. Your professionalism and patience are sincerely appreciated. I have told several people about your service as I was very impressed by your low key, extremely knowledgeable, customer driven approach." -JS, personal fit "Thanks for all your patience and persistence... Lower back was fine... Thanks for the quick response, and your encouraging me to take the leap and go lower; My bike was super comfy [at IM FL], an easy platform to execute a solid (for me) bike leg, setting me up for a strong run, one that I'm proud of. Thanks for all your help and support in this process." - BR, online fit "Wow!!! Man, that is some great feedback. Thank you. Very impressive service." - KB, online fit "...it seems as if I am really flat and putting out some good watts...Thanks again for all your ideas and help." -PR, personal fit "The Bike felt great [during a 1/2 IM race]!!!! I was in the AERO for 95% of the ride... My legs and position felt great through the day... I was able to climb strongly while staying relaxed and not holding the pads..." - JP, personal fit "Thank you very much for the fit... I was racing this Sunday and I felt much better on the bike than ever before, so I guess something must have been right." - LF, online fit "Still feeling much more powerful on the bike with these changes and also seeing the power while riding with the PowerTap. Thanks so much for your help with all this." - JB, personal fit "Thanks for the great work. It has given me a lot better insight to position on the bike... The [sprint] race was good....quicker by 3 mins on the bike!" - MP, online fit "The fit feels awesome!" -DW, personal fit "I want to thank you once again for your time, patience and company. I finally had an opportunity to take a longer ride with the new settings. I can certainly feel additional power in my thighs on the downstroke."- TT, personal fit "Hey Todd thanks for that, it makes sense when you go through things! I never did like the way my back looked on the bike, but was'nt sure what needed adjusting!" - AB, online fit Home  |
