Our client wanted a completely custom geometry titanium bike and selected the experts at Curve in Melbourne to build this amazing frame. The bike needed to be able to accommodate wider wheels for taking the bike onto gravel roads and also be as light as possible. The custom Curve is equipped with SRAM Red AXS and Campagnolo’s Bora WTO 45 …
As one of only 2 known Mason Custom Titanium frames in the country, we were entrusted to build a disc brake gravel bike with a difference and with a special story as to how it came about.
Foot numbness is common through the forefoot and toes for many cyclists and is a common complaint we see with our bike fit clients.If there are no underlying medical / podiatry conditions causing the foot numbness, we find that the issue is usually being created by one or more of the following:
Hip stability and maintaining a fluid range of motion around the hip region are important to maximize power production when cycling and to prevent cycling based injuries. A bike fit position that is too aggressive or a saddle that does not allow the correct pelvic orientation may result in significant losses of power production that inhibit performance and create discomfort or injury.
The most common reason that we see retul bike fit clients is due to lower back pain or upper neck pain discomfort when cycling. There may be many underlying causes for the discomfort but most can be alleviated or resolved completely if you can achieve a bike position with a relatively neutral spinal position. This is most commonly achieved through selecting the right saddle.
Selecting the right saddle and placing it in the right position is essential to providing the most powerful and comfortable bike fit position. The right saddle selection allows the pelvis to be well supported while providing a spinal position that alleviates strain and stress through the lumbar, thoracic and cervical regions.
