🧭 START HERE - How This Community Works 👋
Welcome to the free community of The Bike Fit Academy. This space exists to support proper, thoughtful discussion around Bike Fit, the kind of conversations that are hard to have in comment sections on social media. Here you can: - Discuss Bike Fit topics with other Cyclists, Triathletes and Bike Fitters - Share photos and videos of riding positions for community discussion - Get advice around specific comfort issues. - Learn how to observe, analyse, and talk about position more clearly - Ask questions and explore why certain setups work, or don’t This community is about understanding Bike Fit and supporting each other through shared discussion and experiences. If you’re dealing with aches, pain, or discomfort on the bike, you’re not alone. This space exists for like-minded riders to share experiences, compare notes, and learn from each other through discussion. We (Professional Bike Fitters at UK Bike Fit) will occasionally contribute to discussions, share concepts, and run structured Q&A sessions. Most of the free value here comes from thoughtful peer discussion and explaining your reasoning. If you ask good questions, describe what you’re seeing, and stay curious, you’ll get far more out of this space than the comments section of Social Media, and help others do the same.

Saddle Fore - Aft Adjustments
For years, I've been using the KOPS method of making fore-aft saddle adjustments which has yielded good results. It seems now the current practice is stepping away from the KOPS method to practicing balance, stability and position like in Neil Stansbury or Steve Hogg balance test. So, the question I have is how you would determine which method is best for the recreational cyclist?
Cleat positioning for asymmetrical legs and feet length
Hi everyone, I have an asymmetry issue: my right leg is 3-4mm shorter and my right foot is 6mm shorter than the left. Regarding fore/aft adjustment, should my cleats be symmetrical relative to the shoes, or asymmetrical, aligning them individually based on each foot's metatarsal heads? I've been tweaking my setup like crazy, but right now I'm wasting more energy stressing over my position than actually pushing the pedals. Any advice? Thanks 🙏
