Different Fits
I just finished a 19.992km indoor cycling workout that lasted about 1hh:0mm:16ss !
Bit of a ride, then I decided to start fidgetting with the seat(s).
Swapped out to the nicer blue saddle. Seat positions (height-ish | forward/back):
- 97cm | back; Felt very bouncy
- 97cm | forward; I think this felt pretty good...
- probably 92ish cm | back; felt very scrunched up -- but less bouncy.. This is when I spiked the speed;
- 92ish | mid; this definitely felt too low.
Does anyone have some good tips on bike fitting? I had previously seen this video from GCN with some tips -- and I tried to keep a few in mind. Specifically:
- trying to have a bit of an angle at my knee when fully extended; and
- when both pedals are level, your knee should be directly above where you crank attaches to the pedal
One thing I'm pretty sure of though, is that the Rock N' Roll trainer I have bounces a LOT (it's kinda generally designed to, I think?). I should should a little video and show how much the damn thing moves. Probably only getting something like 60% power efficiency to my wheels. I should go for a ride outside on the next nice weekend -- 25km/hr outside doesn't feel this hard.
Whatever... I guess as long as I'm trying hard and sweating -- it's working. Which it is.
