This month's Premium webinar is: What Different Upper Body Problems Usually Mean If you've ever experienced: - numb hands - neck pain - shoulder discomfort - upper back fatigue then this session is for you. We'll be looking at the common patterns behind these symptoms, what they often suggest, and some simple things you can test and observe before making changes to your bike. Unlike the free webinars, the Premium sessions go much deeper into interpretation and problem-solving. Rather than just explaining what happens, we focus on why it happens and how to start making better decisions about your position. The webinar will be available live on Friday 12th June at 4pm BST (Join using the Calendar tab), and the recording will be added to the webinar library afterwards for Premium members. See you there 👊

Hi all, looking for some input on a saddle setup issue. Setup: - Saddle: Specialized Power Evo, 143mm - Bike: road bike, ridden in aero/drops position for long efforts - Current saddle tilt: -2° measured across the full saddle length - Measured on the first 12cm (anatomical center area): +0.95° — so the nose is actually pointing slightly upward - To get the first 12cm perfectly level (0°), I’d need to drop the overall tilt to about -2.75° Symptoms: - On long rides in aero position, I get pressure and numbness in the anterior groin area - It typically starts on the right side - I have a slight power asymmetry: 54% left / 46% right, which I can also feel in my legs (left leg pushing harder) - No issues on shorter rides or in a more upright position What I’ve tried: - I’ve already been to several bike fitters, including the only IBFI-certified fitter working between the UK and Italy — without success, the issue is still there - Lowered the saddle by 5mm thinking the pressure might be due to excessive saddle height: no improvement My questions: - Given the Power Evo’s profile (raised tail compared to the standard Power), is it correct to assume that measuring tilt across the full saddle underestimates the actual nose angle, and that the first 10-12cm is the reference that matters for aero riding? - Would you consider 0° on the first 12cm (≈ -2.75° overall) a sensible starting point for this saddle in an aero-oriented position, or would you go slightly nose-down from there? - Could the left/right power asymmetry be contributing to the right-side onset of symptoms (e.g., sitting slightly rotated, loading the right side of the perineum more)? Anything specific I should check beyond saddle tilt? - Should I put the saddle height back to where it was before trying the new tilt? My understanding is that lowering the saddle to reduce anterior pressure is often counterproductive because it rotates the pelvis further forward onto the nose.
