Saddle tilt
After my latest adjustment, the feeling on the saddle is much more stable and controlled. For the first time, I feel like my pelvis is properly “locked in” without sliding forward or putting excessive pressure on my hands. What stands out the most is that I’m now supported more on the front part of the pelvis. There’s a noticeable contact and support at the front, but it doesn’t feel uncomfortable or aggressive—more like a stable anchor point that helps me hold position, especially in a more aero posture. At the same time, I’m not experiencing any unwanted movement on the saddle, even when pushing harder or during descents. The pressure distribution feels more balanced overall. My saddle is currently set almost level, with a very slight nose-down tilt of less than 1 degree, which seems to contribute to this stable yet supportive feeling. The only thing I’m still monitoring is potential chafing in the soft tissue area, since that can take time to appear and is always tricky to manage. That will be your toughs? Do I’ll benefit from little more tilt or not?

Saddle Setback
Hey, I'm a heavier rider 95kg and in a awkward situation where I feel more comfortable having my saddle slightly more forward to open the hip angle and get around the front of the pedal stroke, but get a lot of weight on my hands. Moving the saddle back I feel like I'm slightly reaching foward with my foot at the 3oclock position, and maybe sliding forward on the saddle, but the pressure is less on my hands. 70mm cranks, but I also have a long-standing knee pain, so conscious I don't want to be too far forward and close the knee angle. I was getting some saddle sores but recently switched to the SLR Boost which seems narrower at the nose and a lot more comfortable. Is this something I'd just need to adjust to and force myself to sit further back?
Bike tweaks after injury
Broke clavicle, end November, any tweaks I could temporary make to bike to lessen pressure on that shoulder ? I have flipped the stem to get more upright - not tried it yet ? Any other suggestions please
Handlebar Stem/ Width
Hi All, Will having a handlebars with a stem to long and bars to wide, result in shoulders lifting/ tensing up towards the neck? While riding my elbows, majority of the time have a slight bend in them. I don’t really suffer from neck pain, just my shoulders don’t feel relaxed. Look forward to hearing your thoughts?
