5 Quick Bicycle Fit Tips
Adjust your seat height
A properly adjusted seat height is the most important aspect of bicycle fit. A rough starting point is with your foot at the bottom of the pedal stroke you should have around a 30 degree bend in your knee.
Raise you handlebars
Yep you read correct. A higher bar height will open up your torso to hip angle and help with saddle comfort.
Level your saddle
Your saddle should generally be dead level or the nose pointed slightly up. If the saddle is uncomfortable in this position there may be something else in your position that needs to be adjusted.
Level your bars
The drops of your handlebars should be roughly level or slightly up. This helps keep all the hand positions open.
Use supportive insoles
Most cycling shoes have no arch support. There are many off-the-shelf supportive insoles to choose from or even better get a custom made pair.
