Just here to remind people - biking with your seat too low is quite hard on knees. Folks typically recommend raising the seat until your leg/knees are almost straight at their furthest extension, but not quite.
- karlshea 3y agoHard seconding this, it’s so important. It’s really easy to get the seat height vaguely correct, there are a ton of YouTube videos explaining how to do it.
- euroderf 3y agoThat's what I detest about Youtube. Murphy's Law says I'll manage to pick the videos that are wrong.
- sentientslug 3y agoThe way to combat this is watch like 5 and follow the wisdom of the crowd.
- aussieguy1234 3y agoBe particularly careful here if you are tall and if that's the case, get the right bike for your height.
- teaearlgraycold 3y agoI got a professional bike fit. Definitely worth it if you ride a lot.
- mattclarkdotnet 3y agoSpecifically, with your shoes on, seated without dipping either hip, your leg should be slightly bent when your heel is on the pedal and the pedal is at the lowest point. Yes, all of that detail matters! A full bike fit is best but the above will be a good start.
