Bike fit is more important than the bike you buy. Best thing I ever did since I can ride for hours now in comfort.

That was really impressive! Dan is very knowledgeable, calm, patient and thorough - what a nice guy, too. Kyle's frog exercise is too crazy! I will have to try it, but perhaps I'll ring A&E first to let them know I'm on my way

Yes he's great - especially putting up with me when I'm hyper! 😅 Haha I don't know how he does the frog 😂

Always educational watching a bike fit. Just realize, the only tool Amy interested in is a chai latte tool.

Loads of good information there. 👍 One small point - I see that you have a payment card in your phone case. It's safer to add a virtual card to a payment app on your phone. That way, if you lose your phone, you don't lose your physical payment card as well.

I change to Lake a few years ago. I have a really broad foot. Best fitting shoe I have ever had, so comfortable.

Nice one. Love a good bike fit video. Always something new to learn. Cheers.

Let's go bike fit vid :D always enjoy a change up of video

Woah, this is so informative. I need to do this for myself.

I can highly recommend the go4dry shoe dryer, besides heat and a fan of course it also uses ozon to prevent your shoes from getting smelly which also helps to keep your shoes in a good condition.

Great sound this time 👍👍 Excellent video 😀👍♥️

Well deserved, onwards and upwards now, back to bikefit now

Really enjoyed this thanks Amy

You are so welcome! Thank you for watching, glad you enjoyed it ☺️

just ordered shoe dryers from amazon what great idea, hopefully no more smelly wet cycling shoes, thanks for the video, would love one of these bike fits 🤩

Like probably most others I would love to get a bike fit. What makes me hesitate is that I live very far away from any reputable bike fitter and while you can get lucky and get everything fixed in one go, there is a very real chance that you will need a follow-up appointment and/or additional services as e.g. a foot-pedal analysis, new shoes, or maybe a saddle, and it quickly becomes very time consuming not to mention costly too. I better win the lottery I suppose 😂

Love these so interesting and good fun

You know I luv that shifter alignment tool!!!! I'll be on to one of those ASAP. Glad your position is finally locked in.... Degreaser is your friend when cleaning Pinni....The most important and first step. Plenty of tutorial vids on bike washing, seriously view a few. Both of you need lessons...you have a high-end whip now; half-assed wipe downs will not suffice!!! Please do have to find out the hard way the truth on this. Cheers, Pjw

A word of caution in cleaning your bike and components: NEVER use a citrus degreaser! Because of the acid ph, at the molecular lever it causes hydrogen embrittlement with metals. Two or three TdFs ago a rider was powering up a steep climb and his chain snapped. I did some research and the team was riding with Campagnolo components. I have been in the Campagnolo factory in Vincenza and have seen the exceedingly high quality of the chain manufacturing and 100% Quality Assurance. (No wonder they're so damn expensive!) The chain failure was the result of a team mechanic giving the bikes a quick cleaning and wiping the dirty grease off the chain with a citrus degreaser before regreasing. The chain may have been cleaned this was many times before it eventually failed under max stress. Citrus degreaser will also cause aluminum alloy to corrode. I have a new Dogma F with Super Record wireless and a four year old Grevel with 1 x 13 Campagnolo EKAR. I take very good care of my bikes going all the way back to 1985 when living and working in southern Belgium I put together an Eddy Merckx with Nuovo Record. Check out the SILCA velo videos, Josh who owns SILCA in Indianapolis is an engineer (and a superb business man) and I learnt about hydrogen embrittlement from his excellent explanation. Also, NEVER use a pressure washer hose cleaning the muck off of your bike! The water will get into your bearings and ruin them.

Love Lake shoes!

Hi Kyle - helpful comment...... your White-balance is all over the shop mate. It's AWB (Auto White Balance) doing it's best in-camera but it's wandering around massively. For changing light like this (mixture of interior articifial light PLUS changing exterior ambient light) pick a FIXED white-balance setting in-camera (it'll be there in the menu somewhere) and then your color casts won't be changing every time you film a segment and it's much easier to do ONE change in the edit for scenes like this. Best regards ps. to see what i mean look at difference between t=15m30s and t=15m38s. That's the camera's inadequate Auto-white-balance setting.

Really interesting video this thanks. I also have a knee that kinda twists like Kyle. Maybe a bike fit is needed.

Gotta love Kyle's _figure-8_ pedal stroke. Good thing Dan loves a project--sort of like an old house that's a budget fixer-upper.

@@amy.cycling.adventures the addition of the Rode wireless mics has really helped with that. I struggled to hear what you guys were saying sometimes - particularly outdoors. Now it's much clearer.

You can get rubber cleat covers for walking around the cafés and protecting you cleats. They do not fall off and are easy to carry in a pocket. If your shoes are wet, take out the insoles when you come home! This is where 90% of the humidity gets trapped. The insoles and shoes will also dry faster when separated. No need for a dryer; just wear your old pair on the days your main shoes are drying or carry a second pair of insoles if you're on a trip. Heat is the enemy of most sports wear and shoes. Never put insoles or shoes directly on the radiator. Cycling kits, base layers and clothing should never be dried in a dryer on the heat setting. Just hang to dry.

Nice to see Kyle getting a fitting.

Dan went full geek with his lever adjustment tool. Never go full geek! 😂

"Which part of the bike did you clean then ?? " ....

Pinnie might have a slightly longer wheelbase, which may explain why it goes over livestock grates more smoothly.

Don’t waste your money on an expensive shoe dryer (unless a brand gifts you one) just remove inner soles & pop them on the radiator and put newspaper inside the shoe to absorb any moisture. Or just wear overshoes in the first place!

I think Dan enjoys his sessions with you 2! I bet he’s never had anyone doing a frog stretch in front of him! 😂

I'm curious how those x stays feel. It looks like they would add stiffness more than anything.

Looking forward to a bike fit and I think the brand ambassador is rubbing off. My Bianchi is up for sale as I so like look of that Pini X7 - what a bike. Shout out to McConveys Belfast who supply these too, hey they might give me an Amy 10% disc ?

@@rollandjoeseph that's almost definitely a Park Tool derailleur hanger tool, but the little adapter to connect that to the top cap to adjust the levers is not something they make. I only know of the expensive Abbey Lever Setter.

Shoe dryer? I thought the bike fit guy suggested the oven. Baking shoes at 40 or 45 C should do the trick, I think.

Yes, Dan, I've been telling Amy for months that her cadence is tortoise-slow. And her position looks so much better with your subtle but important adjustments.

How much is your new pinarello?

If you decide not to buy a shoe dryer, packing newspaper in your shoes as tight as they will go will dry them out quickly and thoroughly. You may need to change out the newspaper after letting them sit overnight but they will be dry in no time and you definitely will not have to ride with wet, smelly shoes.

2:25 Socks don't have to match the outfit-- they go with it. Also, loving the up-do hairstyle. Pinny looks so rad in the window light.

Shoes on the table..... Noooooo 😉 take the insoles out and dry them on the radiator.

I think I will take my bike into Dan to get him to clean it!😂🤣

Lol calling out Abbey bike tools as overpriced

Probably just put lady-sized cranks on and the cadence will be more natural, I reckon. It's already ridiculous that a 1m65 female gets roughly the same size cranks as a 1m80 male.

You are never going to be comfortable. He is stretching you out when you clearly prefer an upright endurance position. The saddle problem is purely lack of forward tilt. You looked better in the before rather than the after.

Take his advice, both of you need a higher cadence

Road shoes... WHY? More faff with no benefit. Gravel shoe cleats will never wear out.
