I always use a Sharpie when I put cleats on a pair of shoes for the first time and once I've got them in the right place. In fact, just changed cleats and the sharpie marks are still on there from the first correct cleat positioning so it literally is just a case of putting it back in line with the marks.

It's also worth mentioning that some people have a Varus or Valgus tilt. This is where there is some degree of knock knee or bow-leggedness. This can often be extremely subtle. For this, Cleat Wedges are a good solution if the shoe doesn't already have a slight varus or valgus tilt already. When I got a new pair of Giro Elite shoes, the foot pain was awful I put the smallest level cleat wedge on each shoe , was literally about 1.5mm at the thicker side but completely transformed how the shoe felt and the pain was completely gone.

Just ordered a new Canyon Aeroad (Already ride an Ultimate). Very tempted to get a proper bike fit myself.

Wax is perfect! I switched from oil to smoove and it last longer and it's cleaner!

Jen is also super direct and als explains everything very clear.

@malcontent_1 2 years ago (edited)

Awww, Jen is way too nice. 🙃 I wanted to see Dan's mild annoyance and consternation about Kyle's fit. (And Amy's got that post-VO2 Max glow!)

@jeffreylamont8111 2 years ago

Had a recent bike fit with Jen highly recommend she sorted out my pains and niggles.

@steffydog 1 year ago

Always a great video, thanks guys.

@maverick1664 2 years ago

Puzzled why Jen didn’t suggest shorter cranks. Kyle's knee angle looks tight at the top of the pedal stroke, perhaps right on the limit for a 170mm set up? If knee pain persists, maybe consider 165mm cranks, especially as he is shorter in the leg anyway.

As good as waxed chains are (and they are really really good!) For the amount of miles Amy and Kyle can clock per ride, it would only be feasible if they were to carry multiple chains, I really can’t see a waxed chain lasting over 300 miles and after 150 miles it will be pretty damn loud. Drip waxes have quite a long set time for the emulsion to evaporate so couldn’t be used mid ride, however it would work say if they were doing a multi day ride which a break over night.

Wish we had a bike fitter like that where I live. They really seem to know what they are doing.

@andrewnewton-e3o 1 year ago

waxing chain is good, chain lasts at least 3 times longer. get the silca system, its very easy to use. keep up the great video.s.

@martinevans1256 2 years ago

Very interesting thanks

@lancerarg 2 years ago

I need to find a good bike fit place around where I live... that looked like a great thing to do

Ollie Bridgewood of GCN swears by a waxed chain 🤩🤩🤩🤩

QD1: determining crank length?
QD2: determining stem length?
QD3: determining seat setback?
QD4: what about stance width?

@farrar5197 2 years ago

Wax chains are much more cleaner. One you go through the first initial stage of thoroughly cleaning the chain, melting and re-waxing is easy. You get much better chain wear also, think of the dollar saved you could then spend on Chia Latte.

@RobSAFC 2 years ago

I've started using Fenwicks all conditions chain lube. Used to use the muc-off dry lube and found it made the chain and cassette really gooey and pick up all sorts of crap.

11:16 Saddle further forward is being more over the bottom bracket and is more powerful for most people. I mean look at any professional they have their saddle as far forward as possible. But it is less comfortable for the average person.

@Noddingdog63 2 years ago

Wax makes parts last longer as well...can be a bit more of a faff but in the long run I think it works out better and yes cleaner. I just use the Silca drip on wax.
