Can an app on your phone really replace a professional bike fit studio?
In this video, we are joined by legendary physiotherapist and bike fitter Phil Burt (ex-Team Sky, British Cycling) to answer that exact question. We are testing the "MyVeloFit" AI app to see if we can integrate artificial intelligence into our workshop workflow.
We dive into how the AI tracking compares to high-end Retül systems, the difference between "fitting to numbers" vs. "fitting to the person," and where this technology fits in the future of cycling. Phil also trains our mechanics, Tom and Hannah, on how to spot when a rider is "cheating" the mobility tests and how to use AI as a tool rather than a replacement.
If you are thinking about trying a DIY bike fit or buying a new bike online, you need to watch this first!
