r/bikefit

Hi all, would really appreciate some eyes on my position.

I’m 187cm / 6’2” riding a large Giant Revolt Advanced 2. I’m getting quite a lot of pressure through my hands when riding, and I’ve also started getting some pain/discomfort around my left hip.

Generally I feel like I’m carrying too much of my weight through the bars rather than being comfortably supported on the bike.

Does anything obvious stand out from the video — saddle height/setback, reach, bar position, or anything else?

Happy to take any measurements if useful. Thanks!

Im new to biking and im unsure why under my palm are hurting. Is there anyone who can help me? 🥰

For you all who are confident, let's say my saddle is too high, or whatever else you think is going to hurt me and is out of bounds.

Or if you just want to joke around!

I have my fit results available, so let's see who's actually right! Posting the results with angles and recommendations tomorrow.

May the best win. Let's see what this sub has got in it.

Recently I tried different saddles, and ever since then I’ve been feeling a pull in my hamstring/tendon behind the knee and sometimes pain on the front inner side of the knee. I raised the saddle a little bit. How does my bikefit look now?

185cm 97kg, frame size L (55cm) 172.5mm cranks, 70mm stem, i had a 90mm stem before but that did not feel comfortable

My right hand always gets very sore and my right arm feels stiff often like i can't really relax it as much as my left arm, i also notice on video's from my local group rides that my right arm is not bend as much as the left arm is quite often.

And i have trouble turning in well on righthand corners, while left hand one's are very easy (though that could also be because the bikepark where i train often is mostly tight left hand corners, so i'm used more to those and really having to lean the bike in there)

i'm also not sure if the handlebar width is quite right, it's about the same width as my shoulders but i don't know if that is good or bad?

handlebars are 40cm if i'm correct, and my shoulder width is 41cm

No major pain, just feels that saddle can be a bit higher.

Any advice is appreciated.

Cheers!

Is this bike too large for me, and to such a degree that I should return it?

I’ve done a few rounds of VeloFit and it’s somewhat happy after setting the seat to maximum depth, but I could still benefit from a shorter stem and a taller handlebar. The stem is already only 60mm though.

Still it feels a bit too long, and my hands prefer to move back from the hoods to be comfortable. Due to pressure on the hands I would like to slide the seat further back, but that would make the reach even longer.

I wonder if the bike might be a size too large, or if it's just an unfamiliar posture. I can still return it, but I wanted to ask you guys if that hassle is necessary and worth it.
