Bike position (and living room) critique
Quote | Reply
Please provide feedback on my bike position and my living room.

I couldn't get a good shot of my camera side leg at the bottom of the pedal stroke, but I did get one of the far leg, so you can sort of judge it.

Forgive the fact that I look all sweaty, it was warm and I don't use the AC much.

And yes that is my wife's bikini top on the ottoman.

From my just looking at it, it looks like I could use raising my saddle a bit, but I'm not sure.



Thanks.

Is the lack of A/C the reason your wife's bikini top is on the ottoman?

couldn't resist.

What's up with the obliqued camera angle. Get a true lateral view of yourself, then repost.

From this angle, looks like your seat is low and looks like you are straining your neck a lot. Do you get a stiff neck when you ride?

Do you realize that using PhotoShop you can actually see your topless wife's reflection in the window?!

Damn, that is exactly what I was wondering. I see I am not the only one that keeps cheesy race bottles as spares.

Yeah... I just wish I had their version of PhotoShop, where each pixel turns out to be another 256x256 grid, LOL.

Seat appears too low

I agree, seat too low for my taste. I just noticed something odd on my Dual the other day, was wondering if you have the same problem. The plastic housing piece, for lack of a better description, of the rear brake cable (where the internal cable exits the top tube underneath) doesn't sit flush into the top tube. I've tried to pop it back in, but it appears that it doesn't fit. Sound familiar?

Yes, I have that problem.



Any suggestions on how much I show raise the seat?

Which filter/effect did you use, I tried playing with the brightness and contrast, but could not find much.

If you wife has her top off, why are you sweating on a trainer?

looks liek you could get the seat a little bit higher and more forward along the rails. elbow bend should be closer to 90 degrees so that your upper body weight is being supported by your skeletal frame, and not by the muscles. although it looks like your knees are close to whacking your elbows as is.

Some pretty damned funny replies!

To me, it appears that your aerobars are tilted too low in front, which will cause undue stress on the hands and tend to slide you forward, which'll take its toll on the rest of your skeletal muscles trying to keep you from sliding forward.

The saddle does appear to be a bit low, but very few riders find the best comfort and power in the position that "looks" best. If you raise it, be on the lookout for pain behind the knee.

I like the mocha walls with the white trim, but that window treatment has to go, and get someone to clean the glass!

You could use a haircut, hippie.

I agree about the aerobars being tilted up a little or at least level, it did wonders for me.

saddle could go higher, but be very careful you know how people feel about high saddles here.
