Soo informative! LOVE THIS
Helpful video!
Glad you think so!
Easier way to measure saddle setback is to put the rear wheel against a wall. Measure bracket to wall and subtract measurement of tip of saddle to wall.
Not transferrable to other bikes, since chainstay lengths differ.
@@chriskotting think about this again...
Nice!
If you measure Saddle Setback to the nose of the saddle, you will end up with different fits with longer nose vs short nose saddles! You need to measure to the "sit point" of the saddle (where your ischia rest) to get the same fit on different saddles.
Similarly, you need to measure reach from the sit point.
I think most people run similar saddles across bikes so not an issue to use saddle nose. Be interesting to hear what Dan thinks r.e sit point.
Another Dan Smith viral banger incoming 🫡
Bike fit is important even for non competitive/everyday bike riders.
100%
Excellent video. I try to replicate the position on my road bike, should I allow for different pedal stack height when it comes to the saddle height ? I use Look Keo Road and Shimano SPD for the cross bike.
You can get that deep if you want.
@@yonglingng5640 Well yes I’d like to get that deep otherwise I wouldn’t ask the question. I’d very much like to know the answer as even a few millimetres affects how I feel on the bike.

Best in the UK? Two of the measurements I do much better and more clever. And I’m just a nobody OCD cyclist
