No. What the poster said was incorrect. And I am not pissy. Trust me, this place could not make that occur given the overall knowledge level. I did it in all caps because I figured the previous poster could not read lower case since he assumed a lot and obviously did not scan through the thread.

What I said was we had a standing bet that to a rider that doubted we could find more in the bike via their position, the bet is that 10% more power would be found. First, the rider thinks their self fit works. Second they have to take the bet, and some don't. Generally these are guys who race who think their balls are a lot bigger than they are. Somehow, in your mind you have it that there is a line of riders doing this. Lucky for us, most are not that stupid. They know the benefits of a good setup.

It's not that complicated unless you have a reading comprehension problem. Besides, all this bike setup and power talk seems to be over most paygrades out here...it's almost as funny as the thread on changing a seat and how it impacts fit.

I love this place. It's 100 times worse than retail. At least in the store you can show people what you are talking about and they realize that too much time on the internet with the uninformed has clouded their thinking.

Customer starts espousing their bike knowledge..."Were you on Bikeforums reading about road bikes?"
