GOLD MEDALIST JORDAN STOLZ DOES THIS, SHOULD WE?
WE AREN'T NORMALLY SUCKERS for the mushy Olympic backstories. However, we are lovers of all sports approaches that...
... can help us go faster.
A spotlight on Jordan Stolz popped into my feed,
from Sports Illustrated.
Generally, I skip these.
But, it's hard to ignore a stunning photo a kid in a speedsuit doing 38 miles an hour.
There was the usual special interest focus, We had no idea he was serious...
... and, then, there was this gold from Jordan himself.
I know how to do all my own equipment because I like to have it a certain way, Stolz continued. Usually if you have some other guy do it, it’s not going to feel right, so you may as well just do it yourself.
And, it really got me thinking about my recent bike fit struggles.
Back in the stone wheel age,
I took a road bike and a mountain bike to the local guru.
She helped me a ton on the road fit,
adjusting this and that.
When I got on the MTB,
she moved around, took all the measurements.
There's nothing I can do.
Huh?
Really, are you in any pain or feeling inefficient?
Nope.
Okay, you owe for one bike.
At the time, I was really into MTB...
- it was a hassle to dial it in
- took all kinds of time
- I lacked confidence
... read all the books on proper set up.
I guess my point is, if we're reallyreallyreally into it...
... we can master the process.
