Bikesport poll question (Tom)

hi Tom…

I just took your poll on your site and was intrigued by some of your possible answers.

For your question about what is most important to you
You have one of the possible answers as “perfect fit” and “perfect position”

What is the point you are trying to shed light on? From what i have read f your postings I wuld think that the perfect fit would put you in the perfect position.

Are you saying perfect fit = most comfortable / powerful / something else
Are you saying perfect position = most aero / comfortable / something else?

I personally answered mechanical reliability… can’t ride a bike if its broken…

Just wondering cause I am sure that there is a point being made here and would love to hear more about it.

Not sure if this is what he means, but this is how I understand it.

Perfect fit = bike geometry matches rider geometry

Perfect position = optimal position for rider geometry, riding style, fitness, and flexibility, etc.

Perfect fit + Perfect position = a well-handling, comfortable, powerful position.
