"As a Professional Cyclist I am
constantly trying to match the measurements from one bike to another. Also, I
make little changes and adjustments here and there. It is vital that a rider
tries to fit their bike as well as possible for maximum performance. In the
past this meant using inaccurate methods involving measuring tapes and plumb
bobs. Now, the guess work is gone and it has become an exact science thanks to
the revolutionary FitStik. This is the tool that every cyclist needs right
from the start. Bike positioning is critical, don't waste time riding on a
bike that wasn't set up with a FitStik." |

"Just wanted to thank you for the FitStik. I just got done putting it
together, a rather simple process. I have two bikes that I'm getting ready to
compare and this winter I'm going to have transfer my position, always a
nightmare, over to a new brand bike.
Thanks for making it easier." |

"Thanks again for the FitStik.
Whether it's fitting bike for pros or new riders, the FitStik is the
quickest, easiest way to fit multiple bikes for anyone. The FitStik takes the guess work out...
I wish I found out about the FitStik before the 2000 Tour, fitting six bikes
for one rider would have been a lot easier."

"For a pro, accuracy and time are
the most vital things, and the FitStik allows me to be the most accurate I've
ever been and still saves time which is crucial when setting up so many bikes.
I might add it's a real pleasure
having all 3 of my bikes fit the same too!"

"I have a Fuji Roubaix I can ride fast and hard with no troubles. I also
have a 1971 Raleigh Pro and a Univega "sports tourer" for commuting. I
had noticed I would have severe lower back pain after riding the Raleigh
in hilly areas (climbing seated) or the Univega into strong head winds.
I had played with the total reach (by switching stems), bar height, etc
with little effect. I measured all 3 with the FitStik. Well, the total
reach was within 5 mm on all 3 bikes, as was the bar height. The
surprise was the saddle set back on the Raleigh was 25 mm farther back
than on the Fuji, and 20 mm farther back on the Univega."
"(on the Raleigh) I had no problem attacking the hills
of the Shawnee (including a 17% grade).
I just completed a 17+ mile "lunchtime ride" on the Univega, pedaling
hard into a 12 mph wind. NO PAIN! It never would have occurred to me
to move the saddles FORWARD on those two bikes. The results on just
those bikes is worth the $90 I paid for the tool!" |

"The FitStik is the best invention for cyclists since clipless pedals. Thank
you very much for making this product available to the public. I am now able
to duplicate the position on both my race bike and Moots road bike." |

"I just received my FitStik...
and it is worth its weight in
GOLD! After fighting tape measures, plumb lines and angles while trying to
duplicate fit on two tandems, a triplet, two single bikes and a mountain
bike, the well thought out and user friendly (once you figure out the
initial setup) device is simply awesome. The finish and workmanship of
the Stik was above and beyond what I anticipated with nicely finished
hardwood and laser cut plastic all lending to the accuracy of the
device." |

It has allowed us to document the position more accurately than ever
before."

"I am writing to you to express how impressed I am with the FitStik product
that I recently received from you. I have been cycling since 1965 and
this
device is very well engineered and resolves a number of fitting problems I
have worked with for years. Well done!"

"It's just great. I've
wanted something like this for years. I'm finicky about my position and the
FitStik has already saved me lots of time." |

"I've
owned and ridden multiple bikes for over 25 years and wonder how I've done
so without this contraption. I've tried all the methods to measure and
replicate my position but have never been able to get it perfect until
now.
I've already changed one road
bike slightly, put a very different saddle on another, and most difficult,
altered a mountain bike which has been killing my back for three years and
now feels great.
I'm now faced with trying not to
tell my cycling cronies how the FitStik has changed my life, or having
half of Central Park lining up at my door for a fitting or begging to
borrow it. Maybe this could be a new career after retirement." |
