A Good Bike Fit.
Nilay Dalal (Iron Man Triathlete)
Amongst the 3 disciplines in a triathlon, cycling is one of my strongest. However cycling long distances before a marathon is a delicate balance between comfort and speed. One might have all the speed but if you are uncomfortable when you get off the bike, you might struggle to finish the marathon. I always knew this, however I had never experienced it until I got a new TT bike in Feb 2022. I always did my own bike fits earlier but I am a noob in this field. I am glad I decided to seek expert help. No sooner did I get my bike I reached out to Nigel for an appointment.
Best money spent on a bike ever!!!
The changes he made were very subtle and small but the impact of those were large. The result of his fit- I am the most comfortable in the aero position I have ever been. This makes my run off the bike strong. I am more aerodynamic and need to put in lesser watts for the speed. Resulting in fresher legs for the run to follow. I highly recommend a good bike fit and Nigel would be one of the best. Thank you for the amazing fit!
Thanks very much for getting me set up on the bike. In a few short months i am already a better rider for it. My take is these endurance pursuits are a journey – with a few milestone checkpoints from time to time to keep one honest -. I feel we are just done with one such checkpoint at IM Goa. I had a decent race I think, not as strong as i thought i would finish, but very acceptable. The bike course itself i found quite hard and was clearly flagging on the second loop. In retrospect i should have spent more time in prepping in the tuck position as I kept having to get out of it to stretch my back and hips. Am quite happy with way the overall program you have set for me is working, as i feel I have improved as a cyclist, though with some ways to go yet. I am stronger on the bike and in the lead up to the event there had been a clear improvement in my comfort level as well as confidence. Its the prep for the Sahyadri Classic now, with a brief interlude at the Tour of Nilgiris. So lots more biking and better numbers to come for sure.

Once again thanks for helping out. Im looking forward to keep improving, and your help along this journey.
I’d known that getting a good bike fit is an important aspect of riding efficiently, comfortably and for the most part, injury free. But what I didn’t know was that fit measurements can change over time, and that there are different fits for different types of rides. I’d been battling a few niggles that would pop up after every long ride and decided to revisit my bike fit and so, ended up at Nigel’s door:)!

His attention to detail, logical and insightful report not only made all the difference to my rides but was extremely helpful in understanding the nuances of the changes made.
I did my best 90km ride on the Ironman Goa 2022 course , thanks to a perfect bike fit done specifically for racing.
