The PositionCycle™ CompuTrainer® and Velotron™ packages are both fully adjustable bicycle ergomenter/trainers combining a PositionCycle™ built by Tiemeyer Cycles, Inc, with either a lab version CompuTrainer® fitted with an extendable fork mount stand or a Velotron™ made by Racer Mate. Unique features of the PositionCycle™ make it ideal for performance based bicycle fitting by coaches, trainers and sports science professionals to optimize cycling position. The system is also suitable for basic bike fitting applications by providing precise adjustment of saddle and handlebar locations for easy position transfer to other equipment. When used for training, the competitive cyclist will appreciate the feeling of rigidity when pedaling out of the saddle at maximum effort.
"Just want to update you on the PositionCycle. Bottom line, it’s a huge hit with our clients and the word is spreading quickly about its effectiveness. The Spinscan analysis pre and post is showing on average 10-15% improvements with our members and has a lot of wow factor. Your system is so user friendly and accurate that it makes it a joy to work with." -- Dr. Simon Bartlett (Quest Sports Science Center, Annapolis, MD)
Features:
The PositionCycle™ frame is fully heat treated 6061 aluminum with a durable and corrosion resistant hard anodized surface equipped with stainless steel fasteners. Front and rear derailleur hangers are provided for multispeed buildup. Attachment points on the handlebar riser are provided for a water bottle carrier. The PositionCycle™ is ready for mounting in a CompuTrainer® fitted with an extendable fork mount stand or a Velotron™.
Direct readout of horizontal and vertical offsets from the crank spindle to both the center of saddle rail adjustment and handlebars uniquely defines a cycling position with just four measurements. Tape measures read in centimeters with millimeter graduations. Inlay tape references seat angle directly.
Clamping sliders allow rotation of a position about the crank spindle, making adjustments to seat angle easy while preserving saddle orientation, leg extension and cockpit distance.
The TransferSquare™ included with the PositionCycle™ package takes a position from an existing setup to the PositionCycle™ and back again, streamlining the setup process.
The PositionCalcs™ Windows® based software included with the PositionCycle™ package calculates initial setup recommendations based on anatomical measurements. Horizontal and vertical offsets are also calculated for various rotated seat angle and saddle height combinations.
Options:
The PositionCycle™ can be ordered with or without components. Use of a VariCrank™ is highly recommended.
