Here is a brief interview I did with MBO Cycling, where you can learn a bit more about me.
We’re deviating from the usual content this week. Since I was servicing my bike I made a quick video on what I did to improve the efficiency of my bike’s drivetrain. I discuss bottom bracket bearings, cleaning the drivetrain, and waxing the chain.

In this video we convert an existing road bike into a time-trial set-up. By using a set of clip-on aerobars and a TT specific saddle, this is an inexpensive way to gain some free speed by getting more aerodynamic on the bike.
This week we explore how pelvis rocking on the bike causing excessive low back fatigue and poor efficiency on the bike. This cyclist presented with a leg length difference. We look at how leg length shims/stacks affect her cycling biomechanics.

This week we look at what the some factors that may prevent a cyclist from slamming their stem. This cyclist presented with some moderate dysfunction of his right hip and pelvis. We look at how differing handlebar heights affects his cycling biomechanics. We briefly discuss how running shorter crank arms helps someone with hip dysfunction.

This week we look at how pelvic rotation or pelvic tilt can affect posture while on the bike. This cyclist presented with an excessive posterior pelvic tilt which places more load on the spine. We also discuss other factors which can prevent a proper neutral tilt of the pelvis including but not limited to saddle choice and muscle flexibility.

This weeks video supplements the existing bike fitting videos. We explore how bike fit, cadence and technique all help to improve pedaling efficiency while on the bike.

This DIY series outlines how to perform a bike fit on your own. This week is a continuation from the episodes for setting up cleats. Today we delve into how to set up cleat rotation. We discuss what cleat float is, and how that influences how to set up cleat rotation on your shoes and pedals.

Have a look at how different stem lengths affect the posture of the neck, upper back, shoulders and arms. This week’s cyclist complained of pain to his upper back and shoulders from running a stem that is too long. See the application of a stem sizer to determine the correct reach to the handlebars.

A common complaint from cyclists is excessive pressure and/or pain to one or both sit bones, or ischial tuberosity. This weeks video shows a cyclist with a seat height set too high, causing friction and pressure to his sit bones. This video outlines some other causes and solutions to correct for saddle discomfort.

This weeks video shows a cyclist who sits obliquely on his bike due to some of his muscle imbalances and leg length difference. This is also known as cycling with windswept mechanics. This video shows the application of leg length shims to help cyclists achieve a more symmetrical position while riding.
