Have you ever tried to set up a demo or loaner bike to your fit specs and had a terrible time doing so? Even the most experienced riders have trouble dialing in the perfect fit on a new bike. Plus, its hard to get a plumb bob, a level, and some other fitting tools through TSA or in your luggage (without breaking them). Thats why I was so excited to see the new Ergon TF1 saddle tool at Sea Otter Classic last weekend. The TF1 is slim, plastic, covered in actionable data points, and small enough to tuck into a carry-on. (All Photos/Jordan Villella)Egron TF1 Saddle Position Fit Tool The idea behind the TF1 is pretty straightforward. It works off Ergons BMR, or Biomechanical Reference Point. It uses the 75mm-wide point on the saddle as the consistent reference instead of the saddle nose. That matters because saddle noses are wildly inconsistent from one model to the next. Short-nose saddles, odd shell shapes, dropped profiles, all of it makes measuring from the tip a pretty sloppy way to keep a fit consistent. Using the same point every time makes it much easier to repeat saddle height, setback, tilt, and even reach to the bars.There are reference points notched into the tool for a blumb bob, a small level, and other fitting tools. However, the most basic fitting can be done with a small measuring tape and a level app on a cell phone. So you dont need to bring the Fit Studio on vacation. The Ergon TF1 retails for around $25, and its also the kind of thing that feels easy to justify. Its plastic, sure, so its not indestructible, but it also isnt some precious carbon trinket youll be afraid to throw in a travel bag.Travel Time BuddyThe TF1 feels like the sort of tool that would be especially useful for travel, events, and quick fixes. Flying to a race? Toss it in the bag. Trying to get a rental bike or demo bike close to your normal setup? Boom.Its not listed on the Ergon site just yet, but were told that it will be available for purchase soon, so keep an eye on the fitting section here.

This week's news was dominated by two major wheel brands, with Zipp bringing back its legendary 202 wheelset and ENVE revealing plans for UK and Ireland distribution, which includes a new Warwick showroom. X-Lab launched into the US market, with more than 60 dealers said to be signed up already and pricing that could signal a Canyon-like moment of growth for the Chinese brand. The carbon-framed X-Lab GT8 looks to be a real disruptor, priced at $3,199, and featuring Branta C45 Gravel Carbon wheels and Shimanos GRX 715 Di2 groupset. Sea Otter brought glimpses of a 60mm Schwalbe G-One RS tyre for those looking for fat gravel bikes. This follows the launch of a 60mm-wide version of the G-One Speed last year, with official details on the new tyre set to follow next week, according to Schwalbe. The beleaguered trade show, Eurobike, enjoyed a rare moment of good news with Shimano committing to exhibiting this year after initially withdrawing. Leeds will hold the 2027 Grand Dpart of the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift, with the race's first team time trial taking place in London. Genesis updated its Croix de Fer steel gravel bike, shifting from Shimanos GRX to CUES groupset in what it says is a bid to boost ride ability, durability and serviceability. Frances next hopeful Tour de France winner, Paul Seixas, proved his hype was justified after winning the Flche Wallonne in fine style this week. We took a look at the numbers behind the meteoric rise in expectations weighing on the young Frenchmans shoulders. Want more of the most important cycling tech news delivered straight to your inbox?
