What do you really reckon? Is it far out?

I'm making a separate post of this. It's been posted within a thread so I apologise if any of you have seen it. I think it's likely gone unnoticed.

I made a few adjustments on my new bike and was invited to post a couple of photos for knowledgeable kind folks to comment on fit.

Here they are. Advice appreciated. It certainly feels quite comfortable now.

Extended leg



3 and 9

I have no idea, but had lots of fun flicking between the 2 pictures very quickly - your legs were flying but you went nowhere!

My simplest method is heel on pedal at full extension is best seat heigh.

It looks like your arms are stretched: there should be a slight bend in the elbow, to help absorb the bumps and general comfort and reducing the risk of pins and needles in the hands.

That's how it feels. With the large frame size it has a very long stem. I think I need to change it.

Yeah i swapped out a 6 inch stem for 3 inch raised one big difference to back and neck ache.

That should do the trick.

My thoughts too, shorter stem to give you a slight bend at the elbows.Measure what you have atm centre to centre you might find someone has one on here the size your after for peanuts if you ask on the wanted section .I have a "collection"

Don't be daft, you can't reverse a bicycle. You have to turn around.
