This cyclist came in with a staggered cleat set up that caused an asymmetry in his pedaling technique. In this video, we look at how fore and aft cleat set up affects the saddle height and effective reach to the bottom of the pedal stroke.

The case study this week provides some insight into the most common cause of the formation and worsening of hallux valgus or bunions. The problem stems from the inability to descend the first ray to the ground during gait/walking.

Here is a bike fit case study this week. This cyclist has a neurological condition which causes progressive weakness of his ankles and feet. Some creative techniques were used to fit his cleat position. Also demonstrated in this video is a technique to find the best saddle fore-aft position.

A very interesting case to work with. This cyclist had a leg length difference along with severe osteoarthritis of his right hip. He needed a bike fitter to problem solve how to sort out his wonky position on the bike! We look at the application of leg length shims and pedal spacers in this video.
Here’s an interesting case of how hallux rigidis can affect the biomechanics of the entire lower limb. We perform a gait anaylsis and explore the compensation patterns that this patient has developed.

Modern mass produced bikes will come with a standard width to the bottom bracket and crankset. However, not everyone’s body will fit into this standard. Here’s is a case study of a cyclist who needed a wider stance to cycle with more comfort and efficiency. We take a look at the application of pedal spacers in this video.
