The are many reasons to despise the Purple-snatch team, but maybe the biggest yet was just posted on instagag: https://instagram.com/p/BQJV9tZlVCp/
What in the shit is going on with those saddle heights? It’s like Matt Dixon has a predilection for knee problems and poor power transfer in his athletes.
Embarrassing. These are supposed to be professionals. Who even fit them – Joe Skipper?

Kienle would have brought his road bike 
And he would have been more aero than those shits, given that none of them are riding in aero – all sitting up like a commuters on Huffy’s. Though most commuters I see are better fit to their bikes than this crew
At 1st I was like “yeah, right.”
Then I watched the video.
Painful-

Kienle would be more aero on his road bike and would be transferring more power to his pedals pedaling with a single leg anyway. But hey, these guys were training on the road to Hawi, while I am buried in snow and ice
But…but…Jesse Thomas set the KOM to Hawi!

Jesse Thomas is a MONSTER. But yeah that was a clutch KOM. I am sure he could have gone easily another 50 watts if he was just going for the straight KOM instead of achieving it during a monster brick.
I appreciate farce as much as the next guy but your jokes are getting stranger and stranger.

Yeah I suppose you are right: it’s strange and out of place to mock and condescend for exceptionally poor saddle height…on slowtwitch.
Are you new here?

Ouch.
Man you weren’t kidding.

I’m usually skeptical of the arm chair fit critiques that are so prevalent on here, but they’re seriously extending their ankles to avoid overextending the knees. On the other hand, not much hip tilting, that’s a good sign
Looks like they’ve got their pro peloton draft skills is in top form.

That’s to be expected. Changes in ankle angle are used to largely compensate for changes in saddle height; only when the saddle is way too high (or way too low) do knee or hip angles change a lot, and/or do you start to really reach for the pedal by rocking in the saddle.

What is with you that you have so much issues with so many brands, people or topics?
Now purple-snatch? Do you know mat dixon personally? Do you how he works, how his team works, how his coaching is? Were you part of his team or coaching? What is it that makes you react offensive most of the time? Why do you find that there are many reasons to despise purplepatch? If you put such a line either support it with serious evidence or reasons or just leave that line out of the thread at all and just start 'what the shit…
Now it seems like you have another personal vendetta here on ST and just use this video to spit your shit all over again. Are you that unhappy with your live?
Just wonder

Can’t speak for the poster but…
Do you know mat dixon personally? Yes, he was my coach.
Do you how he works, how his team works, how his coaching is? Yes, he was my coach.
Were you part of his team or coaching? Yes.
Why do you find that there are many reasons to despise purplepatch? Well, glad you asked…
After an entire year working with PPF, I realized that the business (I refuse to call it ‘coaching’) is made for MOP to BOP. They do not individualize your coaching like they tell you they do. They are NOT “performance driven”, they are money driven. They want you on the hook and they want you to stay on for as long as possible. They don’t care if you PR or KQ… they care that you enjoy your time with their product, spend more money on worthless “products” and help get other people to buy their product.
Oh… and I can tell you from experience, they (specifically Paul) will undoubtedly tell you to raise your saddle, regardless of how high it is. I have a very high saddle height, sent them a video and he told me to raise my saddle “like 1 to 2 centimeters”. I knew that was wrong, so I went to Jim at ERO for a fit and like I expected, my original saddle height was already higher than he would typically advise.
The one thing that I will say is positive about their training is that they really know how to get people ready to race HIM or shorter… but their philosophy on full IM, in my opinion (because I know I’ll get grilled for this), is just wrong,
Why arent you also defending Instagram?
The nerve PV has. Insta-gag? He apparently hasnt seen the high volume of incredibly sniffable saddles floating about within the platform.
I don’t know a lot of those athletes but I do know one of them well. I can tell you that he was not fit by Dixon. Personally I’m not a fan of Dixon but how do you know he is fitting his athletes? Sort of unfair to suggest he’s setting everyone of the Purplepatch athletes saddle heights.

Matt is absolutely NOT fitting his athletes. Paul Buick is the “bike guy”… he still might not fit everyone but he’s the one pushing the high seat.

Amazing – multi-sport charlatanism at its worst.
