In Episode 57, Wolfman convinced us to get a bike fit. So, we tracked down a local (and amazing) professional bike fitter, got a bike fit from him, and convinced him to come on the podcast.
In this episode we chat with Frank Kaiser (aka our favorite German). Frank is a professional bike fitter, a certified IRONMAN Coach, a business owner, a prior New Mexico Sheriff/Detective, and if that’s not enough a retired German Air Force officer.
As you can tell, Frank, who is now a U.S. Citizen living in Arizona, has a super interesting history and the episode starts out with him walking us through his background. The meat of the episode deep dives into the methods, benefits, and philosophies behind professional bike fits. We finish off learning about Frank’s business (Saguaro Endurance and Multisport Coaching)
The conversation is fun, informative, and super interesting. We cannot stress enough the value of getting a professional bike fit. No matter how long you’ve ridden or what kind of cycling you prefer. Get a fit. All those little pains and discomforts you experience during and after a bike ride… can be drastically reduced, with a professional fit.
