For me I just mess with it until I'm not getting saddle sores, because there are like 1-2 positions only on every saddle where I don't get them, heh. About a week of trial and error then I'm locked in. The heel method actually works better than the measuring method for me, never had much success with the measuring method.

Stand next to your bike in socks. Find your greater trochanter, that bony part on the side of the hip. The top of the saddle needs to be in line with that bony part. Works like a charm for me

@davem6442 Месяц назад

I've used the .883 x inseam for decades and for stem length there was the old rule of elbow to saddle and tip of fingers should brush the handlebar. Plumb bob or a simple nut on a string suspended from bottom of knee cap should hang to ball of foot sitting close to over the spindle when a crank is pointed at the 90 degree position to set toe clip or shoe clip position and seat forward/back position.

@kiwisteve408 16 дней назад

A reminder that the .883 (A.K.A. Lemond method, developed by Cyrille Guimard) has 2 steps, the inseam x .883 calculation and THEN an adjustment to offset 1. Crank length (the .883 assumes 172.5 cranks, so add or subtract for longer or shorter, e.g. 175mm = reduction of 2.5mm) and 2. Pedal stack (the .883 method assumes old school clip + strap pedals), modern pedals have less stack height so a necessary reduction is necessary (approx 3mm), if you are going to use a formula please use the whole thing...

I found with my Brooks B17 saddle on my Kona Sutra Touring Bike, I had to play a bit with the fore/after. A plumb line (or screw hanging from a thread if you don't have a plumb line) from the centre of the knee to the pedal spindle (ball of foot) really helped. Had to do it all again because we got Cirrus cylcles Kinekt Bodyfloat suspension seatposts. (First heard about them on gcn few years back). Keep this great content coming! Love it!

@supermankent1041 Месяц назад

For font to back seat position, i was taught that the Tibial Tuberosity (the bump on the shin bone just below the knee cap) should be directly over the pedal axle when in the front horizontal position. Dropping a plumbline is an easy way to do that.

@markusmencke8059 Месяц назад

Helpful video. If you have a laser distance measure, you can use the book method even easier. Just set the Laser to the correct measure method (top-of-device, where the laser optics are), put it on the ridge of the book pointing down on the floor, and push the button. (If you don’t have a book long enough for this, use a spirit level.) Plus, this base number will not change (much) during your cycling life. You may have to account for different crank lengths, shoes and pedal combos, change in position and hip angles (more upright or less) and such, but legs don‘t change their length, usually. With that number, any even just semi-competent bike shop will be able to select a fitting bike frame and do the the basic adjustments for you, so your new bike will fit your needs from day one. Ride On!

@Andrew-rf2tt 8 дней назад

Have used the 1.09 method for 30 years of injury free riding. Plumb bob from the knee to the ball of the foot and pedal spindle sets the forward/back position.

Put a few turns of electrical tape around the seat post. Any subsequent crinkling will indicate something isn’t tight enough. Once everything is dialled in, paint witness marks on the post and collar.

@gcn Месяц назад

That is a great little tip there! Another product is to use the bracket of a reflector. Tighten it in place, push it down as far as it will go on the seatpost/seatclamp interface and you are in the knowledge that if you remove your seatpost, you have the exact height again when it comes to reinstalling!

@chrisdavis8399 Месяц назад

I also keep a pic on my phone of the gradations on the seat post for reference, especially while fine tuning on the road after initial adjustment.

@greggsenne1268 Месяц назад

Weight distribution fore and aft is a good check on saddle position. Should be about 40% on the front wheel. Don't overlook stem length. A stem that's too short or too long has a tendency to move your point of contact with the saddle.

@coachjohn Месяц назад

Great advice as I'm setting the hight on my fiance new bike today

@James-zu1ij 29 дней назад

With my fore foot in the peddle, I adjust the height Just to the point where my knee can adopt 2 positions easily i.e. fore and aft with out any tension forcing it back to straight. For a quick adjust and go, I use the heel + 1/2cm method. I found this latter method in one of Lance Armstrongs books. Im of the opinion you should always have a slightly forward tilt on the saddle since your hands will alway impart a little force backwards.

@johnnunn8688 29 дней назад

The Badger’s method was to raise the saddle height by increments until your hips rock, then take the saddle back down the last increment.

@GNX157 29 дней назад

In addition to my other post, it’s important to mention that crank arm length is just as critical as seat height. If you set your seat height to where it should be at the bottom of the pedal stroke, it’s very possible if you’re a short leg person on a bike with too long of cranks, that you’ll have an issue with the pedal bringing your leg up too high into your gut or putting your leg at a mechanical disadvantage at the top of the stroke, maybe making your knee kick out to the side. So if you’re 5’7’ or shorter, you’ll likely benefit from cranks 170mm or shorter, and if you’re shorter than 5’6, you definitely want to consider 165mm arms.

I wish bike geometry was better. All the websites say I should be a 54 medium (I'm 5'9"). I went to a bike shop to try a Specialized Allez and the 52 small (5'4" to 5'7") fit me perfectly. Without checking I would never have thought a bike "meant" for someone 5" shorter than me would fit. For reference I also tried a Trek and a Giant and I found the small fitted me best as well.

@The1trueDave Месяц назад

3:46 I'm curious as to why the 0.883 factor is used nowadays. When I was first getting into cycling in the late 80s the received wisdom was to use 1.09 x inseam *but* this was the saddle - pedal axle measurement. I used this for years but tend to settle for the 'heel' method now (caveat: I've never ridden competitively). The modern method neglects the crankarm length which, it seems, would result in a slightly higher saddle (when compared with the 1.09 method) if you have short legs and a comparatively lower saddle for long-legged riders*. Still, I guess if it works that's fine! *because crankarm lengths vary less than rider height, so when you add that back onto the 0.883 x inseam measurement a 165 crank will be proportionally longer on a short rider than a 180mm crank would be to a tall rider...

@bengt_axle Месяц назад

Carbon paste for a carbon seat post and grease for a metal-on-metal set up is very helpful, especially for a bike that stays outside, like a commuter bike. Apply it to the seat post to prevent corrosion. Carbon paste will also prevent a seat post from slipping when the collar is tightened to the right spec.

@bengt_axle Месяц назад

It is very important to always ride with the appropriate hex key (e.g. 5mm). Because once you make an adjustment, very often the retaining bolt(s) will work loose (both on the saddle rail and the seat post clamp) because the body weight and movement causes the hardware to flex, and one should not over-tighten them the first time, especially with carbon fibre parts. Check the bolts after 15, 30, 60 and 120 minutes of riding. If you re-tighten once, typically it will not need to be re-tightened again. Thread locker can also be used once the right saddle height has been confirmed.

@Alan_Hans__ 29 дней назад

Good video but there's a couple of issues with the methods shown. The first method doesn't take into account the stack height. This can vary nearly 10mm between the different types of pedals/cleats. It also is kinda assuming that you are riding in road bike shoes which have essentially no depth between your heel and the shoe heel. Mountain bike shoes can easily have 15-20mm of heel that road bike shoes don't. The second method doesn't allow for variations in crank length. With crank ranges between 160 and 180mm there is a 20mm range that isn't accounted for. The inseam measurement method should be used and scaled to suit the pedal position at 6 o'clock rather than the centre of the BB.

I alwas struggled with perfect saddle height but turns out it was a crank length issue.

@GNX157 29 дней назад

It’s hard to see what’s important in a video. It’s not as easy as it should be. If the persons got good body awareness, they’ll be able to tell when it’s close to right when it’s a little off, but not when it’s way off usually. So it’s important to get it close first. That said, most people have their seat to high, including those set from using motion tracking software. This is under pedaling load. So the important thing you’re looking for at full leg extension, or straightness, you want a smooth full extension moment, if the person has full control over that movement their height is either right or too low. When the extension is too much and you have a knee “flicker” as it extends back, if the knee angle gets too straight to where the quad overpowers the hamstring, then the seat is too high. That said, it’s better to start off too low than too high. When it’s too high, you will have body asymmetry compensation (one leg shorter, hip differences etc), but if it’s low, there won’t be body compensation. So my suggestion is, do the heel technique shown in the video, but from that measurement, lower the seat 15-20 mm, and start from there. Ride on a trainer or road for 20 mi, then every 3-4 minutes raise the seat 3mm. If you have decent body awareness of what your legs are doing, you get to a point where you feel you’re not in full control of your knees at the bottom of the stroke, usually just one. As soon as you feel that asymmetry difference, you want to lower the seat back down 2-3mm, and ride at that height for a while.

@rudyyeung6374 17 дней назад

Hmm. I did not use any of the methods in the video. The method I use is go and test riding the bike. When the pedal is at the lowest 6 o'clock position, the leg should not be 100% fully extended, but somewhere at 90 - 95%.

The INSEAM x 0.883 method is empirical and dates from the 1980s. It does not take into account the cranks lenght , the position of the cleats, the thickness of the soles or the pedals, the arch of the shoes, etc.... By applying it as is, there is a strong chance that you will be sitting too high.

@stephenturkLA Месяц назад

It's an empirical factor that Greg LeMond and his coach came up with about 40 years ago. It sounds very precise, at three significant figures, but in practice it's best to think of it as the mean of a distribution - the optimum saddle height for you may be a little higher or lower than the formula suggests.

@Nigel555 29 дней назад

@surfskate3 Месяц назад

Your saddle is at least one inch to low imo and toe clips don't alow your clip to be far enough forward. Your knee should be at less of a angle to max your power at the start of your stroke.
