🖥️ BIKE FIT MASTERCLASS is happening in 7 days
Transferring bike fit measurements to other bikes.
@Dan Smith hoping you can help me out here. I’ve had a recent bike fit resize some of my bike measurements. My bike fit was undertaken on my Ridley with Specialized power comp saddle. How would I go about transferring the bike fit measurements to my other bike? The other bike has a different (longer) saddle in length, same width (155mm), so am unsure as to how apply fore aft . I’m thinking that fore aft is measured between bottom bracket and saddle tip, and I my scenario I need to transfer bike fit fore aft to other bike, but with different length saddle. Is there a best practice method here to accommodate different length saddles? Thanks, any help very welcome.

Seeking Advice: Fine-Tuning My Setup for Scoliosis
I’ve been living with scoliosis since childhood, but it wasn't until I started using an indoor trainer recently that I truly noticed how my asymmetries affect my cycling. I'm 48 now, 185cm tall with an 89cm inseam, weighting 95Kg and not that flexible with my legs, and I’ve spent the last five years cycling actively. However, the static nature of the trainer has highlighted issues I never noticed outdoors. I have a professional bike fit scheduled for this spring to guide my next steps. In the meantime, I’ve used online resources to make the following adjustments to my 2025 Cube C:62 Attain Race (Size 58): - Cockpit: Swapped the stock 100mm stem for a 90mm stem. - Seatpost: Swapped the 20mm offset post for a 0mm offset post. - Saddle: Replaced the stock saddle with a Selle Italia Max SLR Boost TI 316 Gel Superflow (I am also getting a Novus Boost Evo Endurance TM Superflow to compare for free) to resolve genital numbness (this worked perfectly). - Foot Support: Added Sidas 3D slim insoles for high arch support. - Wedging: Right foot: Two cleat wedges. Left: one Inshoe forefoot wedge, one heel wedge - Cleats all the way back and inside (increase stance), feel spot on. The Results: The current setup feels nearly spot on. Combined with my height and fore-aft adjustments, I can now maintain a steady 110 RPM with almost no "dead spots" in my stroke. The Current Issue: My left foot feels slightly "cramped" specifically when transitioning over the top of the pedal stroke (172.5 crank length) and generally after the adjustments my completely loose right foot feels more stable than my left, left foot is not swimming or our of control, it just feels a tad cramped. There is no pain or numbness, just a physical sensation of tightness or restriction at that specific point, no hands or back / lower back issues during my sessions. Looking for Feedback: Does anyone have advice on addressing that "cramped" feeling at the top of the stroke? Also, I would love to see more content or videos specifically addressing bike fit adjustments for riders with scoliosis or similar spine issues.
Frontal Knee Pain.
Hi All, I have changed from 172.5mm to 165mm on my road bike, I have kept the same distance from the bottom of the pedal to the top of the saddle and moved the saddle back about 3mm, but I keep on getting pain in the front of both my knees. Tried to move saddle up a bit but then I start rocking on the saddle. Please help.. What am I missing here? Regards Marius
Sore Arms and saddle discomfort
43 year old trying to re-kindle my love for cycling. I got a road bike a couple of years ago and Zwift ride for indoor / winter riding. I've struggled to get the right fit on both - over recent months I find myself getting numbness in my groin after 10-15 mins on the Zwift ride and then both arms get sore - mostly the forearms . I don't stay near any bike shops for a bike fit so have tried the online/virtual offerings as well as a variety of saddles over the last 12 months and just cant get rid of either issue. I assumed the issue was weight being to far forward and putting a strain on my arms and pressure towards the front of the saddle but the changes I've made don't seem to help. Will try get some clips added in the next week but any tips or suggestions as to where I'm going wrong would be appreciated.
