🧭 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.

Stance width too wide?
Hi all, I suffer from one sided hip impingement. Other than shortening the cranks even more (currently 165mm), 1. Would a wider pedal (SQLabs MTB pedals in 61mm) work? 2. Also is there such a thing as having a spindle length too long? 3. Would 61mm would cause knee issues if it's too wide? 78kg 5'10" avg to slim build.
Too much hand pressure...
Hey yall I am having some issues on my Tarmac Sl7. No matter where I move the saddle, I cant get rid of the pressure on my hands. I did some testing today on my outside ride and I moved the saddle quite a bit back and actually relived some of the pressure when I held the bars way behind the hoods. (not the way I am holding them in the video, much further back) Do I really need to get a 90mm stem?? Here are the stats: - 58cm Tarmac - 110cm stem - 38cm wide bars (70mm reach) - 170mm cranks - 6'3" height (190cm)
Too much hand pressure...
