Testing performed by Jacob Rathe, Head Fitter
A native Portlander, Jacob began racing bikes at age 13, leading to a 3rd place in the U23 Paris-Roubaix. During his pro cycling career for Jelly Belly Cycling he struggled with and journeyed back from a very painful Post Iliac Artery Endofibrosis condition before ending his career with a 3rd place at the US PRO National Championship road race.
Today, Jacob rides for fun and helps others improve their cycling experience in his roles as a bike fitter and performance coach. His unique fitting perspective has been honed not just by his successes in cycling, but also from the physical setbacks that are inherent to the experience.
A background in road, gravel, cyclocross, track, touring, and mountain biking give him great insight into fit considerations for different ride styles; all while being mindful of individual capabilities and goals.
