SDIT - Race Report

Congrats to all the participants at the San Diego International Triathlon this morning! We saw a bunch of Moment bikes and bike fits out there respresenting! Congrats to Erik Nau for his 2nd place PRO finish on his Moment Ridley Dean!

Moment employees JT and Rachel were out there competing today (on custom Guru bikes) and both had a respectible return to the triathlon world.
"My swim went well and I felt really solid on the bike. It's a constant battle to keep the HR down and the cadence up, all while staying in the aerobars, but someone has to do it!" says Rachel. "The run went better than expected, considering the [lack of] training. I think the work on my bike has translated a bit. The comfort, power and aero benefit of my position really help." Rachel was F.I.S.T. fitted by Moment Cycle Sport in 2008 and is now a fitter at Moment. Rachel ended up 3rd in the W25-29 AG.

JT's quote of the day: "Domination." JT ended up 9th AG with a 1:49. In a friendly bet with Brian Wrona, JT won by 35 seconds.

Ultra-Distance Bike Positions

This isn't just Ironman. This isn't even a triple. It's a race. Across America. Solo.

Ultra Endurance Athlete David Goggins is planning his next adventure. Today we got to fit him for it. He is having a custom bike made and hasn't been able to find the position that feels just right yet...until now. We were able to show him what different seat tube angles felt like on our fit bike, and off his bike. In the end, his bottom bracket setback changed 14cm. He was on a very laid back road bike geometry, and he ended up at an 80 seat tube "tri bike" geometry, with raised bars.

A typical tri position will have some amount of drop on a typical triathlete. David isn't what you'd call typical. He has put many miles on his body. His hips are tight. His shoulders are wide. His knee is bad. He always felt uncomfortable on his bike and couldn't figure it out.

Until now. We helped David realize there is a position that he can ride comfortably with power.  We also helped him solve his ever worsening saddle issue. When you are riding all day long for days in a row, saddle comfort is essential to survival. In the end, he ended up with the SMP Hybrid saddle and loves it.

Thanks for coming in David - we wish you the best of luck on your journey.

Custom Paint

At Moment Cycle Sport, we feel your bike is an extension of you. Yes, the fitting is the most important part, but for some, color is the final selection turning a bike into "yours." Three of our manufacturers offer custom paint. This is a great option and goes beyond the stock paint jobs. Names, flowers, Van Gogh - you name it, they can do it.
