What we’ve been up to

Help finding the right size bike and right type of bike for your fit and your goals is just one of the many benefits of working with us.
Using your current fit we'll look at the geometry of the bike/bikes you're interested in and help pick the one that will work best. This is important for all bikes but even moreso for tri/tt and integrated bikes with less adjustment or fixed stems.

Heart Rate is a valuable tool in training but it's important to remember its limitations.
Sleep, caffeine, fatigue, temperature and more all affect HR to a degree. Meaning the actual physiological effort can vary for the same HR.
Here is a plot of HR over a period of a six hour ride plotted against time, temperature and power. Power stayed the same as did perceived effort of the rider.
We can see HR climb throughout the ride but not because the rider is going any harder. In situations like this it's important to be able to listen to your body and perceived effort over just HR and/or power. There are times where HR or power should drive an effort but we should keep the goal in mind when we do.

We think everyone should be comfortable on their bike. That's why we're launching our express fit program. A less expensive less intensive fit designed to help everyone get comfortable in their bike.
We'll make sure your saddle and bars are in the right position. And if your saddle doesn't feel quite right we'll help find the one for you.

@alex.tampa getting his fit tweaked. Sometimes it can take more than one fit to get it right. We can help you feel just right on your ride. #chasefactor

One of the reasons we love the fit bike. The system six's integrated cockpit makes adjustment difficult. On the fit bike we can get the right reach and ensure the rider gets the best stem for them.

The right position on your bike allows you to put power down smoother, more efficiently and for longer. #chasefactor

Allen is getting back on the bike after a number of years away. He decided to start back right by making sure his fit was dialed before ramping up his miles.

Sometimes the right saddle and some calculated tweaks are all it takes to go from discomfort to comfort.
