In this episode of Performance Process, host Ronan McLaughlin dives into the nuances of indoor bike fitting with bike fit expert Phil Burt of Phil Burt Innovations. With the rise of indoor training, many cyclists encounter power, comfort, and injury issues they don’t have outdoors.
Burt, a physiotherapist with over a decade of experience at British Cycling and Team Sky, shares his insights into optimising your indoor fit to mitigate these issues. From adjusting saddle tilt to understanding the impact of our reduced movment, this conversation is packed with actionable advice and hacks to enhance comfort, reduce injuries, and maximise performance during indoor sessions. Plus, they explore the future of indoor cycling technology and its implications for bike fitting.
Whether you’re a competitive cyclist or a weekend warrior, an indoor super fan or someone who only heads indoors when the weather turns, if you’ve ever wondered if you should adjust your fit for the turbo, this episode is for you.
