    We tackled assembling the bike as a family project. czcams.com/users/postUgkxzg0clhbtRf2gGxPkVETFKJJKGqdsorQu The package is heavy, but I have 2 teen boys that were able to move it. The written instructions were great- we didn't need to watch the videos, but it was good knowing that the option was there if we needed it. After we were able to get it set up, the boys each rode 3 miles and I rode 8 and the bike stayed quiet. The display is easy to reset, and you can put it on whichever setting you are using (time, distance, calories, etc). I will say that my butt is a little sore from the seat, but that could be because I haven't rode in a while. While it is comfortable for me, it was not comfortable with the seat position for my friend (could not move the seat back far enough and he slightly looked like a kid riding a tricycle that he had outgrown). He also said that the seat hurt his manly parts. We are going to look for a different seat that will be compatible with this bike for him.I did purchase the Wahoo Cadence sensor and strapped it to the crank of one of the pedals. This will sync with my Apple Watch, iPhone and will import data in to my Health app. Wahoo does have other sensors available other than cadence. I can also keep either my phone or my iPad on the display and they both feel pretty secure.

      I got the same feedback when I was doing my bike fitting session (in Poland) before my second ultra marathon (540km 80h, 10 000m up). It was such a surprise to me that one of the feedback was to throw away my 46cm bars for 44 or even 42cm. Because of the handlebar bag I stayed with 44cm. Compared to my previous "home-made" bike fitting and 46cm bars, the benefits of going narrower was mindblowing.
      Thank you for this video! Now I'm trying to follow your steps to get the MTB fit right - without spending money for now. If I lived where you work, I would definitely pay for your fitting session.

    Scott, you are most excellent! :-) I've been cycling over 45 years, now at 68 years old with arthritis in three of my neck vertebrae. Before Covid I was going to the gym with a trainer, and on my own. Squats, deadlifts, bench press, overhead press, light weight, higher reps, along with a regimen of stretches and ball exercises. I quit the gym during Covid and now the neck pain and headaches have returned. My touring bike cockpit is set-up old man style with a short reach, and 10mm drop to bar from saddle height. Time to get that cross training with weights back on track!!! Great videos, thanks!
