Aero Bike Fit Specialists
The Right Aero Bike Fit for YOU – Guaranteed
We have been competing for more than 20 years, and as Engineers have studied and experimented with bike fit from day one. We have created our own fit protocols, philosophy, and tools, including our patented automated fitbike. We pioneered online fitting. We focus on aero – triathlon and time trial – bike fitting. We do road bike fits too, but aero is our heart and soul. Thousands of happy clients and countless victories later, we still keep learning and honing our craft every day.
We stand behind and have pride in our work. It actually matters to us that our services help YOU have the best athletic experience possible. Looking for the right tri bike? We will find it for you. If you have a bike already we will make sure your fit is optimized. Either way, you will LOVE your bike. That is our money-back pledge. If something isn’t right, we will fix it or give you a full refund on any and all fitting charges. No bull. Please talk to any of our thousands of customers. Talk to the coaches who send us their athletes. We look forward to working with you.

Our Own Designs
We have created our own patented, automated Vertex Fit Cycle and fit systems. Soon we will be making our designs available to shops, fitters, coaches and training centers. Want to get a bike fit certification? Well, we don’t believe you can become a fitter in two days. But look for comprehensive fitting apprenticeship programs coming soon. We are accepting indications of interest now. Note that applicants will need to be accepted into this program based on background and technical ability.
What Do Our Clients Say?
The Vertex Fit Cycle by TTBikeFit – Available NOW (October 2017)
We developed and patented the Vertex Fit Cycle because we could not find a satisfactory fit platform on the market. Frankly, we cannot imagine fitting without this amazing machine. The Vertex is the ONLY fitbike that keeps the rider stationary and move the contact points around the rider. This allows us to easily change one fit variable while keeping other variable constant. Traditional fitbike designs cannot do this since the saddle and rider move. After working with our production prototype (shown in the lower 2 videos) for 2 years in our studio, we are finally ready to release the production version. We plan to sell initially very limited numbers of the Vertex to select fitters, coaches, and teams. Please see vertexfitsystems.com for more info or contact us if interested.

Great deal = $80 rebate on the best cycling computer GPS out there! I have written about the advantages before as I have been using one since they first came out: easy configuration with your phone (instead of endless tiny on-screen menus and scrolling) is a huge one. Display very easy to see even in bright sun. Display zooms. You can easily zoom in to see just your most important 3 data fields, or zoom out and see 12. Lap page doesn't exist unless you hit the lap button. Fully Strava capable. Etc etc. We have them arriving all week.
While we are on "teal" (Celeste) bikes, how about this custom built Bianchi Specialissima? Full Dura-Ace Di2, including powermeter, Enve SES 4.5 / Chris King wheelset. Easton carbon bars/stem/post. Barely weighs 14lbs.
Teal QR PR5. Pretty much Bianchi-colored, I like it. Bold statement in a size 56 (which is more like a "58" in other bikes). The ironic thing is with all of QR's cool bright color options, the 2 48cm bikes I built are both stealth black. Added some Hed Jet6+ for more speed. Just a reminder - we don't just specialize in Tri/TT/road bike fits - we sell bikes too. I say this because I am amazed that many folks still don't realize this. We work with the authentic brands that really care about amateur athletes: QR, Argon 18,Ventum, LG, Premier, etc.But, unlike a bike shop, we fit you first and get you the perfect bike, built to your specs. And we match or beat everyone else's prices too. Just had 2x Argon 18 E-117 leave the shop, and starting on an E-117+ next.
Great feedback from Kona contender Lenny W regarding his bike fit and new Quintana Roo Tri PR5:
"Hello Todd,
I just wanted to thank you on the fit. I can count on one hand how many training rides I have over 20mph in my triathlon career. I’ve taken my bike out eight times and six are over 20mph with today being over 21mph. The main reason for this - is that I can stay aero 90% of the time. I’ve never been more comfortable in that position and can actually feel the speed difference from being in it to not. Thank you! "
#vertexfitcycle and Marc at The Energy Lab save another rider from bike fit hell. He is oh so right about the all-too-common bike shop "road bike fit on a tri bike". This guy is going to fly compared to his previous fit. That includes the run too.
The Energy Lab
Friend and fellow member of the Ultraman Florida ohana, Ryan Toner, stopped by the Lab yesterday to get fit on his new Felt IA. This may go down as one of the greatest fit transformations to date! It was a formidable task, but armed with TTBikeFit's Vertex Fit Cycle, The Energy Lab was up for the challenge! Ryan's original fit is an extreme example of the all too common "road-bike-triathlon-fit". He was sitting at a shallow effective seat angle of 73 degrees with a ridiculously long reach, closed hip angle, and saddle height over 5 cm too low! Yes, he actually road this position for 170 miles on Day 2 of Ultraman Florida! Grab some popcorn, sit back, relax, and enjoy the show . . .

One thing you notice in Kona is that some companies go out of their way to support their customers. Lately the bigger names in the bike world are notable by their absence, Cervelo being the exception. Several smaller brands also work hard to make sure their customers are taken care of led by Ventum. Ceepo […]
Lone Star Adventures: Lisbeth’s Ironman Texas 2016 Race Report
Do I recommend starting an ironman build 7 weeks before a race? My plan was ironman Germany later in the summer but due to circumstances too boring to detail, I jumped on the opportunity to race Texas, giving me, you guessed it, 7 weeks to build and taper. Two goals: race exactly fast enough to […]
