How to Fit a Tri-Bike or Time Trial Bike

Like all cyclists, athletes who participate in Duathlons and Triathlons want to be comfortable on their bikes.  However, unlike all cyclists Duathletes and Triathletes need to maximize their performance (you rarely see these athletes sitting up and relaxing). 

The geometry and thus positioning on a tri-bike (aka "time trial" bike) is often much different than on a road bike.  At BikeFit, we've developed our bike fitting curriculum to address Duathletes and Triathletes specific needs such as elbow width for aero bars and hip angle (leveraging the protocol that Slowtwitch/F.I.S.T. developed) in addition to what we do on a typical fit (foot/pedal interface, seat height, stance width, front view, side view, etc.).
