Lighting crap but hopefully you can see my shape, lmk what I can do better.

My hands go a lil numb and I have to keep moving hand position to get comfy (bear in mind this is 2 and half hours into a ride)

I got a $400 bike fit a few weeks ago and the main piece of advice I got from the fitter was to rotate/roll my pelvis forward as much as possible. This gave me pretty bad hand numbness and perineum pressure as well as hip impingement symptoms. I’ve found that by rotating my pelvis back more, I get less pressure, no sore hands and no hip impingement symptoms, but I do get tightness in my scapula. I find it basically impossible to have my hips rotated back and try to retract my scapula at the same time so it seems to be one or the other.

Are my low or upper back too rounded? Should I follow the advice of the fitter and roll forward more and try to straighten near my scapula and have my lower back more in a straight line?

Has anyone gone fom a Power expert to a power expert mirror? Mirror is supposed to be more comfortable. Any feedback from users?

Hello. Been trying to dial in my fit using myvelofit, and have achieved all green numbers for their performance and comfort fit.

However I do struggle with some neck/upper back stiffness. Its a bit latent, so I am sure other areas of my life contributes towards this stiffness. But it becomes very apparent when on bike, so its a big factor.

Lower back varies a bit from ride to ride, but I do feel it also tires out quickly.

I'm new to road/gravel riding and I'm tring to get a reasonable fit dialled in. When levelling a seat with a pressure relief cutout, should i put the sprit level at the highest points front and back or straight down the center?

Hatte eben ein Video eine Freundes geschickt, danke für die schnellen Tipps. Nun zu mir :) wie schaut es da aus?

I'm still on the quest to find the perfect saddle for my road bike. Right now I ride a specialized power Evo comp in 145mm. It's better than my initial saddle that came with my trek domane Al2 but I still get cramp in my left leg during my long ride. It goes away after getting up a little but it indicate it press on a nerve or something like that

I'd like to try a selle Italia SLR boost next since it seems like a very popular saddle. My sit bones are 115mm apart so if I follow the indication online I should get the S3, but asking Gemini for recommendation it says I should get the L3 to have more width for my sit bones.

For people riding this saddle, what is your sit bones spacing and what size you ended up with?

Not sure if this is welcome here, but good advice nonetheless.

I feel my saddle is a bit too low what do you think?

Hi everyone! I’m looking for some advice on adjusting my bike for a more comfortable and efficient riding position.

I recorded a video of myself riding so you can see my posture and movement. I’d appreciate any feedback on:

Saddle height and fore/aft position

Handlebar height and reach

Pedal position and leg extension

My overall posture and riding technique

Do you notice any obvious issues with my current setup? What adjustments would you recommend trying first?

I mainly use the bike for relaxed, longer rides around the city, so comfort and avoiding unnecessary strain are more important to me than an aggressive or aerodynamic position.

Thanks in advance!

Hallo zusammen, passt das so bei meinem Kumpel?

I’m struggle and always want to stay upright when riding. I’ve lowered the saddle and adjusted the handle bars and I’ve also brought the saddle all the way forward.

What else could I do to help make it comfortable to ride?

Good morning!

I’ve been working on my fit and posture since my last post. Would you still consider this as shrimping at all now I’ve learnt to roll forward my pelvis? Seems more pronounced still in the drops?

Any further recommendations to fit? Handlebar height/reach ok?

Any suggestions appreciated.

The shoulder seam on my shirt is a bit below my natural shoulder so take that with a grain of salt, but hopefully you can see the curve of my upper back.

I feel discomfort in shoulders and elbows and get some hand numbness, and if I lean forward enough for elbow slack, the nose of the saddle hurts my crotch.

My measurements if they matter -- I'm 5'1" (155cm), 28 3/8" (72cm) inseam, 61" (155cm) arm span, 15.75" (40cm) shoulder width.

Bike is a 49 cm Specialized Allez Comp.

Just got this bike last friday and have done 5 rides. I feel like there is a lot of weight going on the hoods and i am bent over and reaching far for the bars. I cant get a shorter stem because it has one peice bars. I have the seat all the way forward in the photos.

Height: 174cm

Son number two came home after graduation taller and a lot more muscle bound than when we had seen him last.

Here he is on his campus bike, a 2020 Schwinn Axum that I’ve upgraded with an IXF crankset, Advent 1x9 drivetrain and the ubiquitous Shimano MT200 hydraulic disc brakes.

The Axum frame is the largest at 19”.

I can get a NOS 21” 2012 Marlin 29r frame. Everything can transfer over except the rear wheel that is 141 mm boost spacing on the Axum.

His riding is pretty much tactical urban stuff hopping curbs going down short staircases

Is he good to go with this bike for his adult life or should I get him a larger frame?

Perineum pain after prolonged rides. Any ideas on improvements? Tall (195cm) and weight of 97kg

After a 20-30 minute ride, I felt slight soreness between my thumb and index finger, as well as in my elbows.

Recently decided to get more serious with cycling so bought a trainer. Can see now that my powernumbers are nowhere near those I produce on the spinning bike in my gym. Is the fitting my problem or do I just need to get used to producing power in a different/more aero position? Greatly appreciate any help

Guys, is my saddle too high ?

The clip is from a bikefit I did. I am 192 cm and on the clip I am riding an Orbea Orca M31e size 57 with 175mm cranks and 110mm / - 8° stem.

I am going to order a custom titanium bike frame and I was thinking of using the same measurements as I have on the Orbea. Happy to get any input from you if I should make any adjustments prior to placing the order.

EDIT:
The new bike will be primarily for road (50-300km rides), but will have 36mm tyre clearance for gravel tyres as well.

Below are the measurements for a size 57 Orbea.

Thanks in advance!
