Bont Shoes – Shaped Like Your Feet

Saturday, July 23rd, 2011

Sounds daft, but take a look at the insole of most cycling shoes. Notice anything…? They’re nothing like the same shape as your feet.

For optimum efficiency, comfort and performance, cycling shoes need to be as close as possible to the shape of the foot with the ball of the foot positioned correctly over the pedal spindle. That’s where Bont shoes come into their own. Not only are they heat mouldable, the last is designed specifically to mimic the shape of the foot.

The result..?

The most comfortable, efficient cycling shoes you’ll ever wear.

NEW :: Wide Fit Bont A3 Road Shoes now in stock in our most popular sizes.

SUMMER SALE :: ALL BIKE FITS IN JULY – SAVE 25%

CONTACT US FOR MORE DETAILS

At Bike Science, we believe that Retul is the most powerful measurement tool available for use in our bike fit studios, with the Retul software becoming more powerful with each new version. The latest release includes high definition video capture so now we can demonstrate more clearly to each client what we’re trying to achieve during the fitting process.

These videos show a typical fit client being set up on a Planet X Exocet time trial bike. The set up is intended for long distance (1/2 Ironman and Ironman) triathlon events.

The video above shows the post-fit position. The video below the initial position prior to the fitting.

Here’s a summary of the changes made…

- Cleat fore/aft position and rotation changed
- Rider has significant leg length difference – added 9mm of shims under right cleat
- Saddle swapped to Adamo road
- Saddle lowered
- Saddle moved forward
- Stem shortened
- Bars Lowered
- Tri Bar pad width changed
- Tri Bar and base bar angle change
- Tri bars were also shortened slightly after this video was taken to improve access to the gear levers.

Tuesday, May 17th, 2011

Our best selling range of Cobb V-Flow saddles are back in stock NOW and ready to order. The original V-Flow, V-Flow plus and V-Flow max back in stock in both black and white. We love the comfort and improved posture that Cobb saddles offer, but don’t take our word for it. Ireland’s most experienced triathlete and recent European Duathlon Champs gold medalist Anne Paul wrote to tell us about her Cobb saddle experience…

“As  a female triathlete and duathlete for many years I have struggled to get a saddle which was comfortable especially with the limited padding in tri-suits during races. Recently I happened to see details on the Cobb saddles and sourced Bike Science as a supplier. With the opportunity to get a Cobb saddle to test I thought this was worth a try as I could get a refund if I  did not like it. Took a chance and put this new saddle on the first day of a 1 week training camp in Lanzarote. On return I immediately ordered a second Cobb saddle for my race bike”.

Find out what all the fuss is about. Order online now.
