In this episode of The Comfort Lab, professional triathlete Deborah Eckhouse shares her experience with women’s comfort on the bike and what it takes to stay aero over long efforts.

From saddle selection to position changes over time, we discuss why comfort is often overlooked, how it impacts performance, and what female riders should pay attention to when dialing in their setup.

In this episode of The Comfort Lab, JCOB's Head of Growth and Partnerships, Andrew, sits down with Aaron Dunford of Fusion Peak Professional Cycle Fitting to discuss why proper bike fit is essential for comfort, efficiency, and long-term performance. They cover the impact of small positional errors, the role of communication in the fitting process, and how technology and AI fit into the future of cycling. The conversation closes with a perspective on customization and the shift toward more rider-specific solutions in product development.

This conversation with our CTO, John Cobb, delves into the benefits of short cranks, their impact on aerodynamics, biomechanics, and power, as well as their relationship with seat height and breathing. It also emphasizes the importance of speed, comfort, and performance in racing.
