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 Syste…

Happy holidays @mcneese.chad ! Update on my fit questions from a few weeks back: Knee pain: I went with moving the saddle aft about 7mm and also moved my cleats aft (shoes forward) about 5mm. My knee issues started getting better almost on the first ride, and have been gradually improving since …

Good deal on the saddle and cleat position adjustment. Yes, you do seem to be very off center to the left. Your whole hips and lower back are quite shifted. Possible causes I can think of without more info: When standing, you may have a pelvic tilt left to right, instead of being “level”. Bas…

First discrepancy thing that comes to mind is I severely broke my right tib/fib just above the ankle in 2016. Since then that ankle’s flexibility (dorsi flexion and plantar flexion) is markedly reduced compared to my left. Wonder if that’s related?

Sure is possible. Any asymmetry in shape or function could be a contributing factor. Would need good vids from both sides to judge the leg motions in the stroke.

My hip/groin has been causing me problems for months. I can do Zone 2, but I can’t produce high power for very long, so I had to kill my CX season early and it’s not really getting better. Closed hip angles make it worse, so I was thinking I might try the recumbent trike I built years ago on the rol…

Not sure if this is the right thread but can anyone recommend a bike fitter in Georgia, USA?

Fitter crew: Why do all MTBs have 175mm cranks? I run 170 on all my bikes per my fitter’s advice.

Like so many other things in cycling life… because that is the way it has usually (always?) been. MTB follow the typical approach of spec’ing the 170mm for bikes on the small side the size range, and 175mm for those on the large side. Since there has not been a 172.5mm option, that means a more bl…
