SHIMANO BIKE FIT Seen at NAHBS

The screen showed power output independently for left and right cranks, and I think that it showed push/pull as well, but I might not be remembering correctly.

I am very happy with the results, but I don't think that power measurement is a replacement for a good fitter watching you on the bike.

was the Guru fit on the fit bike with similar capabilities - the hydraulics etc? Mt LBS got one of the first ones installed. I dontthink it is used for anywhere near what it can do. maybe too expensive? not sure.

theoretically, they should be able to laser your existing bike/and touch points, then replicate it on the fit bike. make adjustments for weight balance, comfort and power.

now, either spit out a CAD you could send to a builder OR find a stock bike in the database that most closely mimics the fit data.

Was expecting something way more finished and sleek given Shimano's usual insistence on endless refinements until the product is ready for optimal operation.

I bet you could get a better bike fit off of this old doozy.....

hoping for a DI2 option?

Yes, hydraulics to change positions, all recorded digitally. They had a database of bikes that gave me the frame size, stem, handle bar, etc. needed for my position. I also have a pdf with the measurements that I have used for multiple bikes since then. I use a $40 laser level from harbor freight to replicate and adjust position.
