Seat Angle
On a recent ride I was getting some pain in my inner thoigh after about an hour. I noted that my saddle had moved on my wattbike and was titlted back. After doing some searching online for 'what is the correct sadlle angle, I noted lots of people talking about saddles angled forward a little rather than level. I've tried this and set mine at 1.8 degree angle downwards at the front and have to say it does feel much more natural for me. Before i had set it to level. What are peoples thoughts on this and whats your own experience?
Rocker plates
Hi everyone, I (70 yrs young now) ride around 5–6 hours per week on a Kickr Bike, mainly following a structured training plan on Rouvy. Outdoors I usually do fun rides between 30 and 100 km, and after a professional bike fit (IBFI-certified studio), I have no real comfort issues there. My indoor setup is adjusted to match my gravel bike, but after about an hour of training, I start to feel some discomfort—mostly in my hands. To help reduce the effects of static positioning, I’ve just ordered a rocker plate (still waiting for it to arrive). Has anyone here used a rocker plate, and if so, what’s been your experience? Did it make a noticeable difference in comfort or realism during longer indoor sessions?

Ive recently installed a Rockerplate for my Wattbike. I was sceptical at first - have I wasted my money, it felt awkard and unstable. However, now that I got the correct amount of air in the bags, it feels great and after a few rides I find it so much more comnfortable for longer rides.
