Let’s see your set up! What works and what could be better? Computer is behind the wall. Ant+ dongles are in a wall outlet behind the bike. What works: this set up is great. Speakers, TV and computer monitor. The fan is on a bluetooth outlet which is amazing What could be better: Better wall mounted fan [IMG_5427]

@MI-XC No the bike is fitted and I have no issue with it for the last few years. :+1:

Can you juggle chainsaws at the same time?

The one I saw recently on a GCN setup video is to sit with your leg straightened with your heel on the pedal. That way way when you are in your normal for position your one will be all slightly bent.

That is one of the oldest methods for saddle height around. Literally decades old. It’s not horrible, but you have to recognize that the variations in the person, shoes, pedals and such will all impact the results. Not to mention the tendency for people to rock on the saddle when doing the leg stretch, that can influence the results as well. There are several other methods that can be done via calculations based on inseam as well. In any event, it’s useful to have a check from another person to see how it looks in motion. A camera can help if you don’t have someone able to watch. But as this is all off-topic, we should probably start a dedicated fitting thread if we want to go further.

Please, create one. These two articles would be relevant, regarding saddle height: Your Seat's Too Low? Good For You Without question, the unofficial motto of the Slowtwitch forums is, "Your seat's too high." While this has become a bit of an inside joke, there's a fundamental truth in this quip that's worth discussing further. [image] Why does Chris Froome look so bad on a bike? Chris Froome is constantly fiddling with his saddle position, but the result is always the same. Yet it doesn't slow him down.

[image] The Bike Fitting Mega-Thread Equipment This is a primary thread to discuss Bike Fitting methods and issues. I will edit this lead post with useful links for starters. Feel free to post your questions and issues, and we will do our best to address them. A bit about me: My bike fit interest started back in 1997 with the Fit Kit Systems which was based in my home town at the time. I started learning about saddle setup, cleat alignment, and front end settings. I used that info to experiment with my fit and those of a few friends. …

I just bought a Shiv and need to finish the build. How do you like yours?

I like it a lot, but full disclosure…first week on it and first tt bike lol

Looks like you’ve got an interesting session ahead of you :wink:
