The Retul Zin test is one of the most important steps in a Retul Bike Fit Biomechanical Assessment.
It is used to digitally document all measurements of your bicycle down to the millimeter. All of this is included in a comprehensive report on the bicycle’s fit, which the athlete can consult at any time.
Evolution requires progressive and continuous work.
You’ve surely noticed that your physical progress is becoming more noticeable year after year. This happens because over the course of a year you do progressive and consistent work, which allows you to evolve!
Have you ever thought about what would happen if this job ceased to exist?
Certainly, from year to year, in addition to not noticing any progress, you will most likely notice a regression in your physical condition!
Whether your bike is a mountain bike, road bike, gravel bike, cyclocross bike, or track bike… Giving it your use for recreational, performance and well-being, or competitive purposes.
The ultimate goal of a RETÜL Bike Fit or Biomechanical Assessment is to find the ideal balance between your physique, the type of bicycle you use, and its intended purpose!
This isn’t normal! Have you thought about the consequences this could cause?!
The reaction time until you reach the brakes, in a situation where an obstacle appears (a car, a dog, a pedestrian, a colleague braking suddenly, etc.) …is the time it takes for you to hit the obstacle. The consequence is a fall, for sure, with very unpleasant and expensive consequences!
Biomechanical assessment or bike fit is also a matter of safety!
Saddle Height / Setback / Length vs. Shoe Swap or Wearing 2 Pairs of Shoes!
The idea that changing shoes or wearing more than one pair of shoes at the same time makes no difference as long as the cleats are properly adjusted is wrong.
When buying new shoes, or if you use more than one pair on the same bicycle, you should pay attention not only to the fit of the cleats, but also to the shape of the shoe and the height of the sole.
In the example given, there were 2 pairs of shoes used by the same athlete on the same bicycle.
This makes adjusting the bicycle for both pairs of shoes impossible. Dado de que a altura de sola e modelo de sapatos são muito diferentes. This causes huge differences in the general fit of the bike, especially in terms of saddle height, setback and length.
