- During my first 100km cycle, I had really bad lower back pain & sharp shooting pains in my knee near the end of the ride. A lot of you suggested me to get a proper bike fit done so I took your advice and did it! I'm going to do more rides with this new bike positioning and see if it helps 🚴🏻♀️

You are leaning forward when doing a no hand test while pedalling. I am surprised that the bike fitter move your saddle forward. You will be experiencing more pressure in the hands.
I remember my first 100km ride before the bike fit. It was like doing some intense yoga for 5 hours lol after the bike fit I felt like I could ride forever
Love your consistent love to cycling. I’m a new 🐝 to cycling. Thanks to your videos. Inspiring indeed.
Thank you for videos. Fun to watch ;) I have one observation, when I got my new bike I realized that the seat was less slippery than from previous bike and I didn’t like that because the friction was not between the seat and the shorts, but between the shorts and my skin because the shorts were stuck to the seat, so I put the seat from old bike. Be safe, have fun, always looking forward to your new videos.
How long did you wait before doing your first bike fit when you first started cycling? 🙋🏻♀For me, the answer is 4-5 months!
If you're in Singapore, check out the guys at Performance Bike Fitter if you're looking to get one done too! bit.ly/3IBlWMa
7 months 😂
@@smoresblocks9963 better late than never! 😁
Been cycling for a year. Did the bike fit myself. Maybe if I am not very comfortable in the 100 miler event I might get a bike fit haha.
Being a manager of a bike shop finding a good bike fitter is hard. I always recommend people get a professional fit but I always enjoy fitting people the best I can before they leave. I'd say I get them 90% where they need to be but a pro fitter can get them dialed.
How does your fit feel so far?
Started riding around the same time as you and I’m going for my bike fit this weekend! Thanks to your video now I know better what to expect! 🙏😊
Congrats on the bikefit, it was the best thing I ever did.
Really really cool channel! Loved your newest video, watched a few of ya and I have to admit, really informal but sympathic videos, love it! Keep up the good work and stay safe on the road 🤙🏼 greets from Germany
Wow, thats a perfect service, i need this in my german country!!! God bless you
I know air bikes are used mainly for High Intensity Interval Trainings, but can they be useful for long session trainings ?
Wow... a very complete fit eh. Gotta get that done one day. :) As for the added pressure on the wrists, maybe try not locking your elbows. That would help a bit. Thanks for the vid.
Nice video 😀. Btw, can you make another video if there are any improvements or if you come back to your bike fitter for some adjustments. Thanks....
Great video you look fabulous btw the gloves help but also the stem height can help with the hand pressure
how about changing to narrower handlebar width? shorter stem length? nothing adjusted at your cockpit?
Wonderful video. Nice to have a bike fit. Good to know that you are in VC and Tech! Keep it up 👍🏻
Thanks for the support Jeremy! 😄
First comment! I hope!. Hi Sherry. This is William from Hong Kong. Love your videos about Tech and VC in SG, it inspired me a lot and I am going to Singapore to work in Tech next month! Hope to connect with you in SG.
First comment!🔥 Thanks for such a lovely comment, glad the videos were inspiring / helpful :)
Best of luck with your move!
@@sherrybyw Thanks so much Sherry! Looking forward to being in SG!
OMG! The bike cam seems so professional and awesome!!!
😌 Sincerest Gratitude for this video!!
Congratulations! Is incredible see a girl with passion for the bikes. In my country in my country almost men ride bicycles 🚲
Whatever... I love you for that 💜
Aww thanks for the supportive comment Amanda! Glad you enjoy the videos ☺️
Had a bike fit and did a 200km after a week. Good decision!
That crank looks long though..
Very nicely edited video and loved your energy!!! I was confused why he moved your saddle forward! If you’re experiencing pressure in the hands, try moving the saddle a few MM back. This raises the height of the saddle without having to change the seat post. Hopefully it takes some pressure off the hands! All pressure should be on your sit bones!
Thanks for such a nice comment Luis! 😄 I'm going to give it a few more rides because I also have a feeling that maybe I'm just not used to the hand pressure because I perhaps got used to a "bad" posture haha.
@@sherrybyw I learned a great deal after my first bike fit and trying to solve my on-bike problems. Just know that everything is connected. If you shift saddle height or make any change it will affect other parts of the contact points. Your arm looks straight out locked it needs more bend to relieve pressure. Moving saddle back few mms might help but note that it will change other things. You should always feel comfortable on your bike. Also noticed that when you pedal your toes are pointed down a lot. Think of doing squat, you wont squat with your toes you do it with your mid foot or the heels down. Try to do some few mins of Glute activation exercises before your ride. It will help you. Push down pedal with your heels instead of your toes.
@@tenthai Also moving the cleat position back a bit will help with combatting the toe pointed pedal stroke
that is so cool
This bike was really easy to assemble czcams.com/users/postUgkxMesz3KOGEmwmvyKQfLfrRSUXLFzfVHZA and required very few adjustments out of the box. The wheels did not require any truing/adjustments. The frame had some small scratches, but nothing major.I did replace the seat though - the seat it came with was very uncomfortable. The tires need to be re-inflated every 4-5 days, but this appears to be quite common for the narrow 700x25 tires.Overall, in my opinion, this bike looks and rides like a much more expensive bike.
my man representing at SAF running shoes sheeeeeeeeeesh
More Cycling videos please!
Wow. I am also looking around to get a bike fit done. Which package did you get with them?
I did their Retül bike fit (approx 3 hours) SGD$850 one!
by and large, road bikes have uncomfortable geometry that requires a lot of core strength to hold, which no amount of fitting helps. As mentioned, more core strengthening exercises is good. Don't buy into the marketing/myth that road bikes are inherently better. The best bike is one that suits your riding. If anyone prefers a long relaxing ride on roads, hybrids with a more upright riding position, coupled with a good road group set would be more suitable.
Love your jersey, colors suit you so well
Thank you 😄
Stem length, saddle height, riding in the drops, saddle position adjustment front to back position,?
Wanted to ask the creator of this video. To be completely honest, on a scale of 1-10, how much of an improvement is with regards to the sitting posture and comfort level.
I didnt think it was a good bike fit. Those that are completely dependent on machines never are.
@@ronitdebnath I disagree with this. I've had a Retul bike fit and it's worked out great for me. The one flaw with Retul is the sit bone measurement. Most people don't sit like that on a bike so it's not the most accurate measurement.
@@SolomonOtoo you can only say "great" is you compare it against someone very good who can do it without a machine. I respect your disagreement nonetheless. If it worked for you, great.
👍
Any promotion code for this bike fit?
I am not a bike fitting expert, but that move saddle forward didn't feel right to me. I notice that you have a fairly short stem, but the reach was still stretched (before the move) , making me to think if the frame size is a little too large. Just a thought ... congrats on the fit!
Saddle fore-aft is primarily dictated by the relationship of anterior-posterior muscle activation and center of gravity(stability). It is set irrespective of reach. To be fair to the reach assumptions, I think you should consider that her shoulders are not rounded and shoulder blades not protracted and upwardly rotated, and she is also not positioning her hands away from the hoods. Perhaps it just looks a bit more strenuous in her upper body, because she was not well supported on her seat before. Admittedly it is pretty difficult to assess, because there are so many variables going into how and why we move certain ways.
I went through the same bike fitting. Omg, your sit bone is so wide. Mine is only 115mm. hahaha
Your jersey looks fab. Where did you get it from ?
Rapha!! My fav.
Be sure to foam roll and stretch before or after to prevent knee pain!
Hey you should fly out to the US n ride w us!
Hi, I am curious about the model of your friend's bike. Which model of Giant is this?
Giant propel
@@yen2608 Thank you ~
Can i know what helmet are you using the way you can slot your sunglasses look so nifty 😯😎
Looks like one of those POC helmets
You should watch Bike Fit Tuesdays by Francis Cade
What about on a mountain bike tho?
Kinda don't understand why he moved the seat forward. At 12:45 you can barely bend your body forward. If you move the seat forward, you will have a an even harder time bending forward and balancing.
Ben will do a good job for your bike fit. He is good. He has fixed my saddle issue fit issue. You are in good hands for sure.
i think everyone who went for the bike fitting came back with a new saddle. hahahaha
i think you need a longer stem, you should add 10mm tho
Handlebar is too wide.
Position looks pretty good.
Your cranks looks a bit long.
You are a cool chick Sherry and good luck with your cycling.
That sit bone measuring chair is flawed. No one sits on a bike like how she just sat on that chair.
Then, get a coach and the ftp will be improved effectively
Get a pair of gloves for less pressure on the hands and less vibration! 😊 Better grip too
Divine beauty, you are super! ;)
Can not agree with that sit bone measurement.
Cranks look too long for you, by a lot.
Hi there, I don't mean to sound rude but I can tale that you are not really satisfied with this bike fit and that's because despite the fancy equipment that those guys were using, the whole fit was simply a pure nonsense. Again, don't get me wrong but I think you should get a proper bike fit with someone that really understands what needs to be done and not just following numbers suggested by some predisposed system. Anyways, enjoy your rides and keep up the good work!
Basing on sit bone width to choose saddle is just not right…the methodology is flawed…that’s because you don’t sit upright when you ride … more experienced bike fitters will tell you that…
do you always ride with so much make up on?
what’s the matter?
Do you always get in other people's business?
@@arenagrenade9672 yes especially when it’s posted on a video channel for everyone to see! What’s your excuse?
@@milkbunnies There is no excuse to be passive aggressive. If you don't like her makeup just say that lol. At the very least be upfront about your unsolicited opinion.
@@arenagrenade9672 you thinking way too hard about this … has nothing to do with liking or not liking, and you obviously do not ride a bike or at least not in the way that requires a bike fit. Ride that hard and the makeup will stream down your face… we live in an tropical environment with high heat and 90% humidity. It’s a valid question and neither you or anyone else can dictate what’s being said on the internet. Don’t like it?… tough deal with it.
1000km in 5 months, 6.6km per day on average and you have back pain and you are going for a bike fit. Nice one
them bikes cost more than what most people make a year 😲
Gimmick. I had my first bike fit thirty years ago at my local bike shop. It did not have all these fancy contraptions and it fitted me just fine. Unless you are entering tour de France, all these are overkill.
@sherrybyw you are so beautiful 😍
