Vale a pena fazer Bike Fit? Eu testei antes da minha prova

I had a bike fit done before my first mountain bike race, and the result surprised me. In this video, I show how the process of adjusting a bicycle to the rider's body works—from posture analysis to adjusting the saddle, handlebars, shoes, and cleats. I always thought that cycling better depended mainly on training. But, during the bike fit, I realized that small details in body position can completely change the experience on the bike. Pain in the trapezius, shoulder, lower back, overly extended arms, foot position, and even the way I hold the handlebars: all of this was analyzed to understand how I could cycle more comfortably, more efficiently, and with less risk of overload. The big question is: did I spend years trying to adapt to the bicycle when the bicycle could also be adapted to me? The most interesting thing is that bike fitting isn't just a mechanical adjustment. It's a process that mixes technology, biomechanics, body awareness, and personalization. If you cycle, want to improve your cycling, or have ever felt discomfort after longer workouts, this video can help you see cycling in a completely different way.
