I want to thank the GCN for these types of content. I always wanted to start cycling since i am already a motorcyclist and an overweight person. Before binge watching this channel, i thought road bikes were just for pros and that they weren't much fun at all but just for speed... anyways i got my first road bike this year and i couldn't believe how much fun it is to ride. I already lost 9 kgs! My life has changed, thank you GCN

@erickeeny3267 4 года назад

I want to say thank you to GCN for the quality of your videos, I come from a BMX and Mountain Bike background and over the last few months I have purchased a Used Felt Road bike on Ebay and built it up with components that I feel are good quality based on the reviews and videos that GCN has put out, But by far the biggest advancement in comfort was made today, based on the older videos I watched I saw SI review the Fizi:k saddle line, which led me to the Fizi:k website and the saddle finder that they have, based on the video GCN produced about the Sit bones I was able to measure myself and input everything needed including the type of riding I wanted to do, Fizi:k recommended an Argo Tempo R1 150mm saddle and I found it online for sale for $161, now at first I thought that was a lot of money to put out for a saddle, but after installing it and using this current fit video plus a couple of the older ones I was able to get the saddle set up and set out on an hour long test ride on Zwift. My wallet was saying I spent too much money but my ass is saying thank you and I would have spent double to reach this level of comfort. Thank you for the great videos, great content, and great people you have at GCN. Keep up the great work!!

@miikkapulli 4 года назад

I've been cycling to work for almost ten years and just yesterday I watched this video and thought, I should try and adjust my bicycle following these instructions, to make it suitable for me. I also changed the saddle from that original comfort saddle to more road bike kind of saddle and I was blown away. My cycling time to work decreased by two minutes and most importantly: cycling made me feel bad in a good way, rather than feeling bad in a bad way (I cycle to exercise so tempo most be hard) . Thank you GCN for these good videos and I also subscribed to your channel.

@borjastick 4 года назад

Saddle height top tip which worked for me after months of feeling awkward. In bare feet measure your inside leg from the floor to the top of you arch if you know what I mean. Then multiply that by 109%. That measurement is then taken from the pedal top when the peddle is at the lowest point to the top of your saddle. It made an incredible difference to me and my comfort and efficiency etc.

To add the the clipless pedal. If you buy Crank Brothers egg Beaters. They are 4 sided. Just like egg beater attachment on a food processor. I usually use mountain bike pedals as I find if easier to walk in. Plus if I do use my Look Keo pedals I turn into a bad copy of Matt Stevens. 😂🤣

@slwsnowman4038 4 года назад

Most bikes sold at a bike shop include a bike fit. All the shops I visit do at least. I should probably schedule one to adjust my bike - I've got different pedals, and saddle since then.

@koshaz3x 2 года назад

Very good and informative video, I would add something that happened to me though, I just got my brand new bike for Christmas and as you said, it was previously assembled by my local vendor, despite my bike isn't a professional or hi end type, it is more a medium gamma type of bike, it has shimano deore systems which I found they're very good, how ever, after I set my bike for the very first ride I hoped on and the tires were too deflated but then I realized that I didn't know what the tire pressure should be, so I had to look it up on the internet and there were too many tables and different values, mine is a mountain bike, I'm 1,75 m tall (around 5´10") and 92 Kg. my bike's wheels are 29" so I found they should be somewhere between 18 and 28 psi, therefore I started from the bottom but 18 was still too low and felt like the bike was being break so I had to increased the pressure up to 28 psi in order to feel it more loose whilst not pedaling. In summary maybe you could include the pressure info for the tires, just a suggestion, great video again and I surely will be watching more. Happy new year and the Covid be extinguished this year.

@ronbyers9912 4 года назад

I would recommend working with an experienced mechanic when setting up your first road bike. That might not be possible in Covid lockdown so this video is first rate. All of the adjustments Mannon makes are important but seat height is absolutely critical. My problem is an old sports injury has left one leg a little longer than the other. That creates a fitting problem which is why I always consult an experienced bike fitter. If memory serves Emma Pooley had the same sort of disparity in leg length. When she had her bike fit the fitter commented that her success as a pro was surprising because of her different leg lengths. In that video she said she hadn't had a formal bike fit before, but I suspect she had first rate mechanics and coaches who had noticed and made appropriate adjustments specially for her.

@evelasq1 4 года назад

You should of mentioned about the crank length, stem length and handlebar width on your new bike as being important in having a comfortable ride. Cheers 🥂

@michaelalbany 4 года назад

First, ALWAYS use a torque carbon parts! This is an absolute must! Over torque and you void the warranty, then you just have a pile of bike parts. Second: one pedal is reverse threaded, the simple way to remember how to put on pedals is to pedal backwards to put them on while holding the pedal, pedal forwards to take them off. At the end of this video you should very much recommend a professional fit when these bizarre times are over. Nothing can replace a good professional bike fit. Again, always use a torque wrench!
