You are professionals asking your customer to pay several hundred dollars claiming you can make then faster (among other things).
Have you ever proven your customer or yourself that your approach does make the rider more efficient?
I do not question the general use of bike fitting but i believe there are few scientifically proven concepts and there is also a lot prescribing snake oil going on in bike fitting. We want to improve and I think a good first step is questioning our knowledge. I am therefore currently working on testing protocols to validate the concept and I am looking for inspiration. So my questions:
Have you tested your concepts?
Which protocols did you use?
What were your results?
How do you judge the uncertainty of your test protocol?
Which ideas do you have on improving the test protocol?
I know I phrased the beginning of this post a little offensive but I did this in the hope to spark some interest in the conversation. I think Dan created something truly great with this subforum and I am a little sad about the little participation. So let's get this place to life :)
