It’s been a long wait, but we think it’s bean well worth it. This morning saw our first delivery of the latest ultra light, ultra stiff, totally heat moldable Sub 9 and Sub 10 triathlon cycling shoes from Australian brand Bont. Bont began life as a manufacturer of custom speed skates and roller blades before turning their exclusive technology to cycling shoes. The result? The stiffest, lightest shoes on the market today. Each shoe is 100% hand made using an exclusive resin in the composite base that becomes flexible at relatively low temperatures allowing the entire sole of the shoe as well as the body to be heat formed to PERFECTLY fit the rider’s foot.
Since their introduction Bont shoes have become a pro peleton favourite with an ever growing list of riders moving to Bonts for their out and out performance. Rider’s who’ve chosen Bont shoes include Bradley Wiggins, Michael Rogers, Daniel Lloyd, Cameron Brown, Spencer Smith, Natasha Badman and many more!
Visit our Bristol Studio for a fitting (we’ll even heat form them for you while you wait) or available to ORDER ONLINE NOW.

Bike Science Bristol recently had a visit from none other than Gordon Smart, editor of The Sun Newspapers “Bizarre” entertainment column. Gordon’s heading up an intrepid team of ten wannabe triathletes from The Sun including “The Big Man” from Bolton, Radio 1 DJ Vernon Kay. There’s been some serious verbal sparring between the team members so expect to see, Vernon, Gordon and the rest of the team tearing up the tarmac during this years London Triathlon. Gordon and Vernon’s task master, personal trainer James Daly received his Planet X SL Pro Carbon and bike set up as he also prepares to show his understudies who’s the boss on the London course. For information on James’ personal training and coaching services, see HIS WEBSITE.
Follow the progress of the team on The Sun Triathlon Team blog pages.
Bike Science provide bike fit services to the team, Planet X supply bikes and Chicken Cycle Kit provide Time pedals and LAS helmets.
As a bike fitter, last Saturday was always going to be interesting and to be honest I’d fully expected that we’d take a set of Retul measurements from 9 times BBAR winner and one of the most experienced time trial riders in the UK and simply confirm his riding position was bang on and leave it at that. As it happens, after checking and re-checking Ian’s position we ended up making some pretty significant changes…
Planet X are proud to be the ONLY bike company in the UK (if not the world) who are able to offer their customers a complete end to end pro level bike buying experience including access to Retul motion capture bike fit technology as used by today’s top pro teams and riders. From Tuesday the 4th of May Bike Science head fitter Andy Sexton will be available for Retul bike fits at the brand new purpose built Planet X showroom in Rotherham.
Clients can take advantage of the most accurate and up to date bike fit technology available with one of only two Retul certified fitters in the UK on their existing bike or if they’re buying a new bike from Planet X.
Retul fittings available in Rotherham on the 1st and 3rd Monday and Tuesday of each month from May the 4th 2010.
