- Below are downloads. As F.I.S.T. graduates, you have limited use rights of the publications below. They are "Kinkos ready," that is, if you send any of these files (e.g., the manual, the printable worksheet) to FedexKinkos, and follow the instructions, they'll print it/them for you and you can pick them up, or have them shipped (or just burn them on a CD and hand carry them in).
- The main resource, in additions to the downloads below, you'll find on our STACK/REACH database, which we always try to keep updated. From time to time we'll put out a call to those on our list who do what you do, to ask what isn't on that dbase that needs to be. Here you'll find our Handlebar to Head Tube Top calculator. Here is our Stem Calculator, a most helpful tool that very few fitters know about (or they'd be using it constantly).
- Obviously, the generation of the stack & reach data is most helpful with the appropriate tools. The current best position simulators we know of are the GURU System 2 fit bike, and our special make-up of the Purely Custom fit bike that pretty much does everything you need for an affordable price. That second bike is available from us, including affordable financing. (Just call or email us.)
- F.I.S.T. Road Protocol (8.0): This 36-page pdf that accompanies the workshop.
- F.I.S.T. Coordinates to Solutions (8.0): This 16-page pdf that accompanies the workshop.
- Generic Fit Bike Manual (V1): This is the most up-to-date manual as of this writing (more recent than the two manuals referenced just above). There are some protocol differences between this and the other manuals. When the other manuals are updated they'll reflect the protocols in this manual.
- Printable worksheet for road: This is brand new. It is a one-page worksheet on which you write in the sx/sy and hx/hy of each trial during the fit session. If you ask Kinkos to print these as "NCR carbonless duplicates," then 1 page goes to the customer, and one is retained in your file. Kinkos is familiar with this nomenclature.
- Printable worksheet for tri: Same kinda thing, but for tri.
- Logo-less worksheet for tri: The road worksheet without our logo, so that you can stick yours in if you'd like.
- Printable worksheet for road: Logo-less tri worksheet.
- Logo-less worksheet for road: Logo-less tri worksheet.
NOTE: Only F.I.S.T.-Certified fitters are allowed to reprint the materials above, and only for use in that fitter's personal fit business, with his personal fit clients. Any other reprinting of the materials above is prohibited except through prior written consent of Dan Empfield.

- You may remember a cheat sheet I cobbled up for a retailer having problems with "no results" when clicking on the bike report on a popular bit of bike fit software. This Excel-based spreadsheet is designed to help you stay out of trouble. This was a quickie, generated in a hurry, and its accuracy should be gauged with that in mind. Best to keep HX in mind always during a fit while using a bike that generates this metric (GURU, Purely Custom, Shimano).
- F.I.S.T. Logo: In jpg format below. Just drag and drop. Shoot me an email if you'd like a vectored version of this logo.
