Fit Check: Canyon Aeroad XL - Reach/Setback limitations

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for some feedback on my current position on a new Canyon Aeroad (Size XL). I’ve done some initial analysis, but I’m hitting some hardware limits and would love your expertise.

My Stats:

• Height: 193 cm
• Inseam: 92 cm
• Bike: Canyon Aeroad, Size XL
• Crank Length: 172.5 mm
• Saddle: Selle Italia SLR Boost

The Issue:

I feel a bit too "rear-weighted" and stretched out. My shoulder angle is quite acute (under 75°).

My Questions:

  1. Does the position look balanced for an Aeroad, or do I look too "stretched" due to the setback?
  2. Since I can't change the seatpost, would switching to a saddle with longer rails be a viable fix to get those extra 10-15mm of forward adjustment?
  3. Any other "tall rider" tips for the Aeroad to improve the shoulder angle without slamming the stem?

Looking forward to your thoughts!
