No...if the quote is accurate, that was a fairly "absolute" statement, which is demonstrably not true.

Anyway, one thing to remember is that "Retul" IS NOT a fit method...it's merely a tool to measure angles. So...seeing as how the "ideal angle for power production" is different for individuals, I'd also be curious to know how he determined this for the OP.

Just because someone had the genetics to become a pro cyclist, it doesn't automatically mean that they are experts at fitting
