Tools of the trade

This is an article in a series describing our F.I.S.T. process for tri bike fitting, and in here we lay out the state of the art in tools for best practices.

Translating fit specs to bike specs

This is the final installment of our series on our F.I.S.T. tri bike fit process, and takes the metrics we've generated and outputs your "best" bike.

The F.I.S.T. Method for fitting triathletes to their bikes

Slowtwitch means different things to different athletes, but tri bike fit is the thing we're probably best known for. Herein is a description of our process for tri bike fit.

F.I.S.T. Axioms

This second in a series of articles describing our tri bike fit system lays out the axioms on which our F.I.S.T. system relies.

Steering geometry for tri bikes

It's one thing to comprehend concepts like trail and steering axis and gyroscopic forces, another thing altogether to know with precision how a bicycle is going to handle once a design is executed in the form of a road-ready machine.

Bike geometry

I ride a 59cm bike or, if it's a road race bike (as opposed to a tri bike) I'll ride a 60cm bike. If it's a Litespeed tri bike, I'll ride 57cm, and so it goes. How are these bikes measured, and why do I ride different sizes depending on the manufacturer?
