For Coaches
Coaching workflows
Bike setup: every field and what it drives
Each field on a BikeSetup record, where it shows up, and why it matters.
What a BikeSetup is
A BikeSetup row represents one bike that an athlete owns and
uses. Athletes can have multiple bikes (race TT bike, training
road bike, gravel, indoor trainer, etc.). Each bike has its own
fit measurements, components, position values, and history.
Coach side: edit a bike at
/coach/bike-setup/<bike_id>/edit/ or create one at
/coach/bike-setup/new/. List them on the equipment hub:
/coach/athlete/<public_id>/equipment/.
Athlete side: read-only summary on /my-equipment/.
Identity
- Name: short label like "Race TT" or "Training Road".
- Bike type: TT / Triathlon, Road, Gravel, Track, Indoor
Trainer, Other.
- Primary flag: is this the race bike?
- Athlete: which athlete this bike belongs to.
Frame and components (free text)
These are recorded as plain strings so you can be as specific
as you want without the Hub enforcing a brand list:
- Frame brand / model / size.
- Front wheel / rear wheel: brand and model, free text.
- Front tire / rear tire: brand, model, width.
- Groupset: e.g. "Shimano Ultegra Di2".
- Pedals.
- Saddle.
- Helmet: the helmet typically used with this bike.
Fit measurements (decimal fields)
Each is optional but the more you populate, the more you can
recreate the position if it gets disturbed:
- Stack (mm): frame stack height.
- Reach (mm): frame reach.
- Pad width (mm): aerobar pad width.
- Pad stack (mm): pad height from BB.
- Crank length (mm): e.g. 165, 170, 172.5, 175.
- Saddle height (mm): from center BB to saddle top.
- Saddle setback (mm): horizontal saddle offset.
- Tire pressure front / rear (PSI): what you ran most
recently.
- Total weight (kg): bike weight with current setup.
- Last CdA (m squared): the most recent measured CdA. See
CdA Field Test.
- Last Crr (rolling resistance coefficient): e.g. 0.0040
for fast race tires.
Notes fields
- Position notes: free text for extensions, bar angle,
cockpit specifics.
- Notes: anything else worth remembering.
Why each section matters
- Fit measurements let you reset the position after travel,
a fit session, or component swaps.
- Performance values are inputs to the
Bike Power Plan
calculator (weight + CdA + Crr drive the projected bike
split).
- Components matter for race day check (is the right
cassette on the right bike? is the helmet allowed at this
race?).
- Position notes let a new coach pick up an athlete's fit
without losing context.
