Claire Dubois

“I assumed pain was the price of aero. It was the price of a bad fit.”

The problem coming in

Lower-back pain from 60km into every long ride in aero, was dreading the bike leg of her first full-distance race.

What we changed

Raised pad stack 20mm, moved the saddle nose-forward, fitted 165mm cranks to open her hip angle.
