I understand that they take videos of the rider from multiple angles while riding the bike in a rigid stand under varying loads, consult with the rider, review the videos, adjust, rinse & repeat until they've gotten every erg of energy from the rider's body to the wheels. Sounds like an amazing process...
Interesting, I never knew anything like that existed.
