The 3-point positioning

April 02, 2021

Here are 3 points to check to quickly improve your positioning at the start of the season!

1. Replace your handlebar tape

Indeed, handlebar tape absorbs more sweat when we train indoors, so it's a very good idea to replace it annually. You'll improve your grip on the handlebars, get better shock absorption, and protect your handlebars.

2. Check the wear on your cleats

Indeed, it's quite possible they need replacing. Worn-out cleats can cause knee pain. And, in extreme cases, they could even lead to a fall.

3. Get yourself a new pair of cycling shorts

Indeed, cycling shorts that are more than two years old are generally less absorbent and will have lost some of their elasticity. They will therefore no longer provide the muscle support, moisture absorption, and vibration damping of new shorts. So take this opportunity to try bib shorts if they aren't already part of your wardrobe.

If you experience discomfort after each bike ride, a bike fitting consultation will be recommended. Schedule an appointment with our specialist HERE for a complete ergonomic bike fitting.
