Bike Fit by Feel or with Technology? A Deep Dive Bike Fit Breakdown 

Brilliant info thank you.

Where have you been???

The riding routes in your locality are beautiful.

Super video. Loved it.

It almost seems like you want to be so far back in the seat that you want to be riding a cruiser style bike. It'd be nice if you ever did a comparison between what diff bike styles do to stress different muscles especially in the legs. I notice the difference because I have all styles of bikes.

Interesting. I expected that you as a fitter would be better able to feel bike fit than most people. I am terrible at it. Once my GF borrowed my bike, reset it to fit her, and somehow "we" forgot to change it back. I didn't notice that the saddle was 1" too low and 1" too far back and started riding longer distances. Apart from slight stiffness as I dismounted at the end of a several hour ride, I didn't notice anything. A day or two later I would have terrible inner leg pain, which was initially difficult to associate with riding, due to the delay. I ended up with a strained psoas, months of rehab, and a fitting. But I'm still lousy at feeling the fit. The fitter says I'm flexible (which I didn't know) and that flexible people are less aware of fit because their body adapts to the fit more readily and compensates for any errors. All the more reason for all the electronics. And my poor fitter doesn't get much gratification because I can't truthfully say "wow that feels so much better!".

Nice Loki hoodie! haha

nice vlog!

Good Video. I think that fitting yourself by feel is possible, but: it takes a long time and may be very frustrating...

Always great videos and information! I am currently dealing with an imbalance right now, but will not change any fitment on the bike... this one is all me! I pulled a muscle in my lower right side of my back and now I have some not so nice right sit bone pressure. This has definitely affected how I now sit on the saddle! Would have love to know what your saddle height started at and what you ended on.

Is it safe (in case of an accident) to keep those relatively "sharp" tools so close to the body tissue? 3:33

Hello! I recently bought a medium sized frame bike. It says it fits 5' 7"- 5'11" people. Im about 5'4," and I have my saddle slid all the way forward (which means nose towards the bars, and its just a couple mm past the line, which isnt marked MAX just 2 and -2). If I dont do this, I sit more on the nose, which I hate of course. If this method doesnt work, I could go from a 90 mm stem to an 80. All that to ask, at what point is the frame not the right size? I mean if you have to shove your seat all the way forward, and get a super short stem, is that a sign the bike is too big? Also, when I stand over the top tube, my crotch just barely touches the bar. Thanks!

What's that music ?

Is it just me or is the video doubling / repeating itself every so often

your pelvis is goin crazy, fam
