1. Use Cyclefit to find your ideal bike position. Perfect Bicycle Adjustment

2. 11.1.20002 This presentation: Why the ideal bike position? Backgrounds Performance, muscles, pedal movement Determine position

3. 11.1.20003 Part 1 Why is it so important to ride with the ideal position ?

4. 11.1.20004 Goal Faster biking Longer biking Less fatigue

5. 11.1.20005 For who? Sports orientated Cyclist Mileage freaks Occasional bikers

6. 11.1.20006 Incorrect bike position can lead to: Knee problems Achillestendon complaints Back problems Painfull arms, shoulders and neck

7. 11.1.20007 Determine position to… Optimum perfomance –Musclefunctioning –Breathing –Aerodynamics Relaxed and painless rides under all cicumstances (sprints, climbs, descents, timetrials)

8. 11.1.20008 Backgrounds performanceparameters, in particular muscle and pedal pace. Part 2

9. 11.1.20009 Performanceparameters Muscle functions Levers Breathing Biomechanica Aerodynamica Comfort

10. 11.1.200010 Muscle Conditions: Energysupply (Fat, Carbonhydrates) Blood- and oxygen supply Reach of the movement Pretension before maximum effort

11. 11.1.200011 Pedal pace Slide Tension Pull Push Max. Force

12. 11.1.200012 Movements „Picking“ Pedal movement from top till bottom „Kicking“ Rotation of the shinbone around the knee „Piano“ Movement of the feet

13. 11.1.200013 Muscles related to pedaling: Stretching (1,2 and 3) Bending (4,5 and 6) 1.Calves 2. Quads 3.Calves 4.Adduscors 5.Glutes 6.Lats

14. 11.1.200014 Pedal pace rotation:

15. 11.1.200015 Pace The full rotation leads to a gradual load and unload of all muscles involved. Ideal combination of: –Picking- –Kicking- –Piano

16. 11.1.200016 Part 3 Determine position

17. 11.1.200017 Incorrect bike position can lead to: Knee problems Achillestendon complaints Back problems Painfull arms, shoulders and neck

18. 11.1.200018 Incorrect position of the saddle: Too high –Moving on the sadle –No efficient pedalling –Overload of knee Too low –overload on the knees Too far to the front –Unfavourable lever, overload on the knees Too far to the back –Unfavourable lever

19. 11.1.200019 Sitting parameters Position of the foot Angle in knee joint Positioning hips Positioning of the back Arm position Body gravity centre

20. 11.1.200020 Positionparameter Seat height –Saddleheight –Saddle lay back Handle position –Length –Height Cranklength

21. 11.1.200021 The ideal position Knee angle of 145°-155° (pedal in lowest position) Knee joints above pedal axle (cranks horizontal) Angle sholder/upperarm approx. 90° Angle elbow joint approx. 160°

22. 11.1.200022 How to get to the ideal position: Adjustment and try outs Mathematics

23. 11.1.200023 Cyclefit calculation individual simpel reproductive Scientifically proven Field experience

24. 11.1.200024 Taking measurement Saddle position: Innerleg length, upperleg length, foot length Position of the handlebar chestlength, Armlength and Schoulderwidth Fast, simpel and reproductive

25. 11.1.200025 Calculation A programm will calculate in a split second the ideal position takening into account: Bicycle type Comfort Sex Pedalsystem

26. 11.1.200026 Result Accurate Scientifically proven Field expierence

27. 11.1.200027 Cyclefitpositioning High seatpositioning (not too high) –Full force development without over streching. Streched seatpositioning (not overstreched) overstrekt) –Streched back for good oxygen intake – Correct arm angle for more comfort and to prevent fatigue –Relaxed neck muscles –Aerodynamic position

28. 11.1.200028 Cyclefit Precise measurement Exact adjustment Beter biking Perfect Bicycle Adjustment
