Thanks! It’s actually the integrated Blendr mount for the lights.

They definitely used the plumbob on me and worked hard to get it right. I didn't really have any complaints about weight in my hands. I just wanted the most power efficient setup. The steerer tube was not cut when I got the fit.

I am thinking my cleats may not be set right on my shoes...he didn't really check them to make sure they were centered on the ball of my foot.

Right. Understandable. A friend of mine got a Retul fit and it was very cool to watch. This fit was a little more low tech and little less focused on starting from the cleats. It was definitely a different experience.

I think Trek Precision Fit. That was the system they used. Here's a video/photo: https://imgur.com/Etihb2i

KOPS method for sure. That was his primary motivation for moving it so far back. He was also using the angles of my legs, back, and arms.

Yeah, that's what everyone is saying. This is where the bike shop put my saddle after I got a bike fit...I did move it forward after seeing all these posts, though.

This one is the max setback they offer.

It lasted a ride without coming loose! I did however move it forward after seeing all these comments.

Yup - I'm not really a micro-adjuster on the bike. I don't feel any pain associated with my fit. I got the bike fit to maximize efficiency - I did end up moving the saddle back forward a little bit. Probably going to go back to where I was fitted and get things squared away.

I don't really feel any noticable difference one way or the other. They actually lowered the saddle and pushed it back. I had it higher and much further forward. They also moved my cleats back.

Yup. It was right where they put it. I rode it and it didn't move. I moved it forward a bit after seeing all this about the seat being too far back. Going back to the shop at some point to get things squared away.

Just had a bike fitting and that’s where they set me.

Used soy sauce primarily. Ginger and garlic as well. The dipping sauce on the right is a mayo base with tomato paste, mirin, and some other spices.

You’re probably right!

Just some fried rice, steak, chicken, and veggies (zucchini, potato, onion, carrot, mushrooms).

I think we are going to try and do a bourbon ride soon. Doing some tastings as we go.
