The Rise of the “All Road” Bike

Twenty years ago, in 2004, a new road bike category was born with the launch of the Specialized Roubaix, the “Endurance” road bike. However, for nearly all those years the Endurance bike category has never felt as though it fully found its place in the bike market. Despite models like the Specialized Roubaix, Trek Domane, and Giant Defy often holding the honour as the top selling models in each company’s respective road line up, these bikes never quite felt like they had hit their stride. While the more relaxed geometry was the primary selling point for a huge number of riders (and rightfully so), the feature set never quite seemed to make a compelling distinction between their more race oriented brethren. They were road bikes, but for “endurance”… Well, this year might finally be the moment they come into their […]

3 Trends from Sea Otter 2024

From my early days as a young DH grom in the ‘90’s, to my first attendance this year with MyVeloFit, Sea Otter Classic has always signalled the start of the mountain biking season for me. This iconic event, deeply etched in my earliest memories of cycling, has evolved from a much-anticipated product launch platform into the premier cycling industry showcase in North America—especially since the decline of the Interbike trade show. This year, I had the opportunity to walk the grounds of the Sea Otter Classic not just as a spectator, but as a participant, experiencing firsthand the bustling atmosphere of what has been declared the biggest year yet. It was a culmination of years of enthusiasm and anticipation, a chance to immerse myself in the heart of the cycling community I’ve grown up with. Join me as we dive […]

Everything You Need to Know About Q-Factor

Q-Factor, or the horizontal distance between the outside of one crank arm to the outside of the opposite crank arm, is a critical yet often overlooked aspect of bike fit. This measurement directly influences your stance width on the bike, essentially determining how far apart your feet are (aka stance width) when pedalling. This post will go over everything you need to know about Q-Factor and how it affects your riding experience. Why is Q-Factor important? It’s all about alignment. A correct Q-Factor helps align your hips, knees, and ankles, reducing the risk of injury and increasing pedalling efficiency. If the Q-factor is too wide or too narrow for your body’s natural stance (and mobility), you can experience strain in your joints (often your knees), resulting in discomfort and which can lead to long-term issues. The importance of Q-Factor […]

Beyond Saddle Height: The Crucial Roles Of Fore-aft, Tilt, And Equipment Choice In Your Saddle Position

Your bike’s saddle height is often touted as the most important part of your bike fit, and rightfully so. How you “sit” on the bike is largely considered to be the foundation of your overall position and plays a critical role in a comfortable, efficient and injury free riding experience. What is often overlooked is that height is really only part of the equation, what matters more is your saddle’s overall position. What is the saddle position you ask? Well, it’s the combination of the three adjustments available for your saddle: Saddle height Saddle fore-aft (aka setback) Saddle tilt To complicate matters further, the specific components and equipment you use also play a role in determining all of the above.
