About this episode
There are 5 main bike fit mistakes that cyclists make, but the good news is they are fixable. Today I sit down with Phil Burt, former team SKY and GB bike fitter who has fitted Bradley Wiggins, Victoria Pendleton and Geraint Thomas. We get into crank length, back pain, saddle comfort, and the simple changes that can make you faster, more comfortable, and more efficient on the bike.
