TESTIMONIALS "The 55nine Performance fitting service is wonderful. Ever since I went in to see Eddie for a fit, I have felt much more efficient and am definitely climbing better than ever. I should have gone to see him a lot sooner, but now I will be 55nine Performance customer for life. I would recommend this to any cyclist, from a weekend warrior to a pro racer!"- Tim Henry, Professional, Jittery Joe's Cycling Team "It's great. I won the stage race in Savannah this weekend - primarily with my sprinting. I was thinking going in to the final turn yesterday to really focus on my pedal stroke since that's what would differentiate me from the other girls (I hoped) and it worked. I won the race"- Kim Foland, Cat 1, BMW/Bianchi Cycling Team "I got fitted in August 2006 towards the end of my season. I noticed immediate gains in efficiency, comfort and power. I also found out that my short legs and long torso means that most bikes that fit me vertically are too short horizontally, making me run a really long stem. I'm into endurance mountain biking and stem length plays a huge role in how a bike handles. I sold my Independent Fabrication ti Deluxe and bought a new one with a custom Wobble-naught based geometry that allowed me to run a shorter stem. It's paying immediate dividends in the form of better confidence and handling. Getting properly positioned over the cranks has also eliminated the knee pain that has plagued me the past couple of years when doing big gear work. If you're looking for that little something to get you over the top, this could be it. It seems to be for me! "- Harvey Minton, Independent Fabrications "The Wobble-naught fitting works. I had Eddie O'Dea fit me on my mountain bike and I can tell you that it was the cheapest upgrade I have ever made. All around, my bike handles better, I am able to put out more power, and I am way faster with less energy expended. 55nine Performace has changed my perspective on the importance of bike fit and I will be forever grateful for the increased performance and fun I now have. "- Cody Yancey, shop owner at Addictive Cycles, Braselton, GA "My knee pain went away, my hotspots went away, and I rode the same ride I usually do, but faster and with a lower heart rate. If you want to get more powerful and faster go to 55nine Performance "- Scott Hodge, owner of Addictive Cycles, Braselton, GA "Feedback on the mountain bike: Unbelievable torque sitting in the saddle, wow. Great so far. "- Shey Lindner, Bear Naked/Cannondale "The fitting worked out very very well for me. As you may recall I was having problems with my right knee and saddle sores. After the fitting the knee pain decreased and now I am riding pain free. In addition, I feel more powerful in my new position. The guys I ride with at lunch are surprised how much faster I am riding now compared to just a few weeks ago."- Jim Kennedy Imagine after 20 years of racing, finding out that you weren't even using 2 major muscles in your legs to pedal the bike! If any of you ever get the chance to do this Myo-facts sEMG and Wobble-naught fit, do it! It's impressive. - Hunter Allen, Founder of Peaks Coaching Group "My fit has been great on both my mountain and road bikes. I feel like I'm getting more power to the pedals. One of the biggest things is that I have been working on rolling my hips forward, I feel that makes a huge difference. Also "wiping mud" on the bottom of the stroke. The fit has been well worth it for me. Thanks for the help!"- Chip Whitworth (Elite adventure racer) "I do not know if it was the fitting or my fitness or both, but I rocked at the SERC Ocoee race today. I won, which is my first regional pro/expert win. I felt great and the bike felt awesome. I do know that stretching my cockpit out has helped my wind and my power. The spinning technique still needs a little work as I felt myself get back into old habits. My feet feel great too. I think the new cleat placement is going to resolve my numbness. So thanks for everything! "- Carey Lowery (current NORBA Endurance Series leader) "I absolutely love the way things are going. The new pedal stroke has worked wonders for my ankle and I'm able to put massive power down without too much of a hike in heart rate. I'd say I'm riding a good two to three gears higher on certain climbs than I was before."- Dave Buenger "Getting properly fitted to my bikes was the best thing that I did in 2006 to better enjoy riding, both on and off-road. I like Wobble-Naught so much that I had Eddie fit me to my new Flux that I finished building this month. You can spend a lot of time and money on parts swapping trying to guess your way to a good bike fit, or you can work with Eddie O. and do it right the first time. "- Peter Uher (Expert XC Racer) "On just my first ride, I had positive results all around with a lot less effort and no numbness anywhere. Aside from a few new muscles talking to me this morning, I had more power with less effort, and experienced a lower heart rate average than normal due to the previous items. On the same route distance and speed average, I usually average about 140-150 bpm in the same conditions but my HR average was 127 yesterday so I'm extremely happy with the changes. The most important thing was that I had a lot less knee pain than I had before, so I think I'll post-pone knee surgery for a while to see how things go! "- Shane Waldon |
