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.

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
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. We plan to sell initially very limited numbers of the Vertex to interested fitters, coaches, and teams. Please contact us if interested.

Kona Ironman World Champs 2015 – Male Pros Mile 110
The top male pros passing mile 110 on the bike course in Kona 2015. Shot at 240fps and 720p.
Ironman Run Form – Gliders vs. Gazelles
We lay out the case for an alternative running style for Ironman events. While classic run technique is required at paces faster than about 6min/mile, athletes targeting slower paces may benefit from focusing on the dramatically different gliding run style.
Norseman Xtreme 2012 – Our Journey
Lisbeth competes in the 2012 Norseman Xtreme – World’s toughest Iron distance race – in her home country of Norway. Lis beat the existing women’s course record, finishing third. Definitely a bucket-list race.
Pro Bike Position Analysis: Kienle vs Potts vs TO
We compare the bike positions of three of the top finishers in Kona 2012: Sebastian Kienle, Andy Potts, and Tim O’Donnell, using motion analysis. Footage shot at 300 fps at mile 110 on the Queen K.
More Flash deals: Hed Jet wheels (used) - these are both C2 (23mm wide) rims. Jet 9 front built with 2 extra spokes = 20 which increases rider weight limit to 220lbs. Recently rebuilt by Hed with new spokes. Hed Jet disc is 10 speed - NOT compatible with 11 speed. These are personal race-only wheels so mileage is low and condition is great. Both have 23mm Conti GP 4000 s and latex tubes. $400 each.

Argon 18 is really pulling out all the aero-tech stops. Beautiful aero road prototype and drag sensor/computer that can be attached to any bike eventually for on-road aero testing. If the sensor unit comes to market at anything close to a reasonable price (they say <$2k), guess who will have one? Intense bike fit sessions combining on-road aero testing along with fitting on the Vertex Fit Cycle sounds like a great idea to me.

Not only did the frame integrate electronic shifting buttons, but it completely integrated the hydraulic disc brakes and the circuits and sensors to measure your drag.

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 […]
Kona AG Women Bike Split Analysis: How fast do you need to be, and how did Lis do in 2015?
I have been spending some time analyzing Kona bike split data for the last 8 years. Coincidentally, this is when Lisbeth started racing Kona consistently (she also did it in 1996 pre-kids). I wanted to see what years were “tough” years, and how Lis has fared versus the fastest women bikers, fastest overall finishers, and […]
