Andy Pruitt makes an adjustment to Lars Bak’s bike. The Specialized stems contain an ingenious asymetrical shim which allows a wide range of anglesShane Stokes/Cyclingnews.com
Bak and Bobby Julich talk during his assessment. Julich has a keen interest in bike fit, having had his position adjusted by Pruitt many years agoShane Stokes/Cyclingnews.com
Bak pedals under load, allowing the cameras to monitor his movementShane Stokes/Cyclingnews.com
Bak was previously sitting crooked on the bike, had a very rounded lower back and complained of groin painShane Stokes/Cyclingnews.com
One interesting consequence of raising Bak’s stem 1cm was that his position became lower and more aerodynamicShane Stokes/Cyclingnews.com
Frank Schleck, being assessed by PruittShane Stokes/Cyclingnews.com
As with most of the riders, a number of adjustments were madeShane Stokes/Cyclingnews.com
Schleck’s saddle was raised slightly, with more to follow when he becomes more flexibile. His stem was also shortened, helping his upper body to relaxShane Stokes/Cyclingnews.com
Although his time trial position is higher than before (as indicated by the yellow line), it is expected that Schleck will be faster. He was previously too low to have been putting out full powerShane Stokes/Cyclingnews.com
