Parvilla Custom Sports Performance

Parvilla Custom Sports Performance The regions premier bike fit studio and athlete testing center. Open Tuesday-Sunday by appointment o Sound about right?

As we strive to be better cyclists we often forget about the obvious, our position on the bike. We spend countless hours training for races, century rides and triathlons but spend no time on our position, and then assume that we are riding efficiently. Fitting is our passion at Parvilla Custom f i t, it is in our soul and it is what we love to do. In our quest to find the perfect position for each

of our customer’s individual needs, we have invested in the absolute best technology in the world. In 2011 we were the first studio in the Mid-Atlantic to invest in a computer controlled fit bike. In 2012, we were the first again when we combined our Guru DFU with Retül’s 3D Motion Capture System and began to set the pace in Dynamic fitting. In 2013 we were the first studio in the country to upgrade our hardware to Retül’s new "Vantage" system. 2014 saw the introduction of PARVILLA CUSTOM Fütbeds by Retül. In late 2015 we added saddle pressure analysis and this year we have introduced a medical fitting working with a registered PT right in the studio. We have also expanded and opened a new studio in Bethesda to serve the greater Washington metro area.

Hey Everyone - Some very exciting news! Starting in November, I will be one of the first fit studio's in the US, in the world for that matter, to offer AI generated virtual Wind Tunnel Testing! Obviously this is a huge advantage for Triathletes and TT'ers but it also is an awesome tool to fine tune road and gravel positions too!
Everyone on this page has had a fit already and therefore can book the stand-a-lone option of $250 with up to 10 simulations. With a .9987 accuracy of the A2 Wind Tunnel, this is the ultimate position validation.

Below are some before and after pics I did of a helmet position test along with the savings in Time and Watts.

Boy, I have not posted in quite a while. If any of you do not know, I host cycling trips to Mallorca a few times a year. This coming year, I am offering a very unique opportunity for just 10 guests. We are going to be doing the Mallorca 312! This event last year sold out in 6 minutes when registration opened in the fall. My trip guarantees a spot along with an incredible week of riding leading up to it. There are only 2 spots left if anyone is interested. For more information, here is the link to the website. ~ Stu

If you ride on Zwift, I would invite you to join our Parvilla Cycles Zwift Club. Search for Parvilla Cycles under "Clubs" on your Zwift Companion app on your phone. We will be running some inside events in the winter.

This happened yesterday - from what we know, it is possibly the first time a hand cyclist fit has been captured using Retul.

Something a bit different in the Fit Studio today. Brian Owens is a T3 Hand cyclist. He and his friend Dave Armstrong came in looking to see if we could use our Retul system to get some fit numbers and potentially tweak his position. It took a bit of fiddling but we managed to get some solid fit information, possibly the first ever recorded! It was a very educational day! We are far from done, stay tuned for more

If you want in on the first batch of these saddles, PM me ASAP. They are only going to be a few available if you do not pre-order first. 143 and 155 sizes.

With over 2000 Zwift miles on this saddle, I can firmly state that this is the best saddle I have ever ridden. It is instant comfort. No pain, saddle sores or numbness on any trainer rides under 3 hours! That says A LOT!! If you want one, PM me and get one of the first few in the US! It is worth every penny, in fact it is worth way more.

As you spend more and more time inside on your trainers you need to be careful on how much you increase your volume over the next couple of weeks. I have seen in some cases a 100-200% increase from a week ago! That gives me great concern! I know that you have the time, but you need to ramp your volume increase slowly or you are going to injure yourself! Be careful, moderate you volume increase to no more than 20%-30% per week. The last thing you want right now is to blow up your knee and not be able to ride at all while you are stuck inside. Coaches, please feel free to give your two cents on this!

Greg was Lance Armstrong before Lance Armstrong. He came out of the Northern California cycling circuit to stage an improbable conquest of European cycling and, later, a miraculous comeback from near-death to win the closest Tour de France in history. LeMond ranks among the great U.S. athletes of the past century. Yet, the meteoric rise (and catastrophic fall) of Lance Armstrong left him all but forgotten. Come relearn the story.

Just a quick note that I wanted to share with everyone as we finish up the season and start to plan for 2020. This is from a coach/Cat 1/friend that I have been working with for years on both road and TT. I have been booked out more than a month all summer which is more than normal and the fall looks to be the same. If you are considering a new bike, a review of your position or a full fitting, don't wait too long to book.

"Another quick note. Road bike fit has been fantastic as well. Won 45+ for both Maryland and Alpine Gran Fondo and was even 3rd overall at Alpine. Comfortable all day for both events and climbing as well as ever.

Thanks again. Zero saddle sore issues all year on either bike never once had to think about fit or tweaks, just dialed."

This kind of email makes me love my job!

Stu,

I took your advice and got an MRI of my right hamstring. I have a complex tear of the right hamstring tendon at the insertion on the bone. Fortunately, no surgery needed. Undergoing aggressive 3x a week PT. No running for 6 months and only upright bike riding on a trainer at 100 Watts.

Recovery will be slow. My goal for 2019 is to recover enough to be able to run again. I have only been on the bike once since we met. But felt comfortable.

I can't thank you enough for pushing me to get a higher level of evaluation. It certainly put me on the path to a faster, more structured recovery.

I plan to make a full recovery and see you as soon as I am cleared for unrestricted training.

Thanks again for working with me. I plan to build a consistent plan for bike fit every 6 months once back in the game.

All my best.

Happy Customer!
