How To: Setup your bike 

After how many years since you've uploaded this video and it's still gold in 2023. There are many videos on here about how to set up your spin bike but this is highly the best and most accurate way with the clear demonstration and highlights, this video is gold, thaaank you. I never even considered pedal and knee alignment I've changed my seat height as well. I've started indoor bike riding and had been sustaining knee aches like most here within the comments and the slight alterations have helped immensely. Hand on heart, I'm truly grateful to you. Please, dont delete this video its highly invaluable.

I cannot thank you enough! I bought a spin bike a year ago and have yet to spend much time on it, for many reasons, but now I am retired so I was trying to figure out how to do the set-up...Thank You!

I had some slight knee pain after a cycling class at my gym. I had used the adjustment that the teacher had given me. I went into the studio with this video while the studio was empty and I wouldn’t be bothered, and adjusted my bike using this video. The teacher’s adjustment was completely wrong: she had my seat too low, she didn’t do a heel check, and she didn’t do a knee/flexion check. I’m honestly shocked that she was so incompetent, but when you have a class of 60 people, personal attention isn’t really a thing. I’m glad I found this video so that I could fix it before real damage was done.

2024 this video is 12 year old.I find the most helpful tips in it thanks a lot for your help

I find this video really to the point, brief and helpful. Since instructors during spinning classes don't have time to check bike set-up for everyone you should know how to do it yourself. I have had the pain in my knees a couple of times after spinning classes as a result of incorrect bike set-up. The height of the seat is the most important to avoid this problem.

thank you again!! New to this and this video was very helpful!

Best most comprehensive set up video I've found. Thanks for this.

Great workout, just finished it!

Yes Its Really helps

شكرا نورس

I note the importance of sequence on the different body parts. But, won’t the leg angle change and be out AFTER the for-aft adjustment is made?

What do you do if you are kind of in between two seat heights? Choose the higher or lower seat height? Should I choose the lower height which allows for more flexion at bottom of pedal ?

Watching this in quarantine

I have chosen a spin bike for my HIIT excercise

alot of good info here but i sure do like that bike! probably quite pricey!

How does the flywheel weight effect the intensity of the workout? Can you do interval training and reach maximum heart rate with any flywheel weight?

Mencoba alat itu,aku gak pernah olahraga dan pertama kali. Mencoba,yang kurasakan terengah2. Kaki jadi kebas saat mengayuh di kira2 20 kayuhan. Dada saat kayuhan dihentakkan kebawah,ada tekanan.lama2 kaki gak mau mengayuh. Malas menjalar. Kmdn tanpa pendinginan,saat tidur malam,pagi hari,semua badan dirasa kaku. Sekali kumencoba di rumah saudara. Treadmill,ditoko. Kok gak mau krn takut terjerembab. Dan mencoba duh mengangkat kaki,berat banget. Yo jatuh. Kan caranya berlari yang tetap ditempat. Jebul nyatane kui abot.

This is Peter G approved !

I’m really struggling getting my setting right. I just got my new spinner bike. I’ve followed the video but the problem is that my arms are shorter than average. I’m only 5”2’ and I have to have seat low and the seat closer. Now my knees hurt. What to do?

Is the guy narrating this also in the up and vanished podcast?

I carnot set the screen on my bike as ever 3-4 minutes, it shows FINISH. please advise how can i change the program

The wheel were the pedal are is buckled how can I fix it

how seat in a bike

Nice video what brand of bike is that ?

ok got it, let me buy a bike then !

You say to adjust the seat to your thigh level and then he lowers the seat so bit confusing

I tried today. As i said, the seat was too hard and very uncomfortable. so, i only pedalled for 20 mins. Then, switch to elliptical for 35 mins.

Klo boleh tahu berapa hrganya ya

What's the price of this cycle

Hi, Wondering which type of shoes he is wearing. Just bought spinning shoes and they aren't compatible!?

this is helpful,thanks! but i think no.1 step is useless

I've never understood how anyone can be comfortable setting the handlebars lower than the seat... the big forward lean just puts more pressure on the dangly bits. Ended up getting a noseless saddle (since it's not like you need to turn on a stationary bike)

"Raise the seat. Now lower back to where it was. This is how I will be wasting your time. 😁"

Same way to set your road bike up........de la misma manera, se ajusta una bicicleta de carretera.

What bike os that one

The glare from those seriously frosted tips is really distracting. When was this video made, 1985?

From where i can get in india and price

Why should you care? I know from experience that the narrower the Q Factor, the closer my feet are to each other, the more comfortable I feel riding a bicycle. This is especially true on a long ride or training. long distance q factor spin bikes can damage your knees

The seat is toooo small for me.

Prize

On the 1min 40 sec it shows wrong angle , that’s more than 30•

It looks like he just put the seat back right where it was.

Thanks but the song is so annoying
