In coaching, around shops, and in the cycling community we constantly hear the words “bike fitâ€. Usually the reference is to comfort, but there is another aspect to a good bike fit, performance.

Literally thousands of dollars are spent on the new carbon this, or the ceramic bearing that, and often the performance gained is marginal.
