🧭 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.

Starting tilt for Specialized Power saddle — reference point for measurement?
Hi everyone, I’m trying to find a good starting point for the tilt of a Specialized Power Saddle, but I’m a bit confused about how the tilt should actually be measured. Different people seem to measure it in different ways: - along the entire length of the saddle (tail to nose) - only on the rear flat platform where the sit bones rest - on the first third of the saddle - on the first two-thirds - or even using the rails as a reference Because the Power has a short nose and a curved profile, these methods give very different angles. So my questions are: 1. What tilt range do you usually use as a starting point for the Power? 2. Where exactly do you place the level when measuring the angle? 3. Do you measure tail-to-nose, or only the rear support platform? Then is the Power with Mirror similar ?
Can Dans adjustable bike be used instead of your own bike for shoe and bike fit?
one of Dan's video's on saddle set back was put on my YT time line. In the video a fully adjustable bike was used to demonstrate the difference. This got me thinking can this bike be used for a shoe fit and a bike fit, also using the pressure pad that was used in the video then be transferred to your bike. I ask this as I will be on holiday in the area of the bike fit location, the issue is not sure if there will be enough space in the car to fit a bike, I have no external means to carry the bike either My symptoms (nearly all my riding is on an indoor trainer, with my bike connected to it), are left foot just don’t feel like it is in a natural position, my right foot fills normal like it is floating on the pedal. My left knee front left outside edge can some time fills some discomfort . Cheers
