Can you pull the camera back so we can see full extension, and lose the sweat shirt :) really hard to tell but you look really crunched up at the front, could probably add some length for sure.

From a practical standpoint I would say good luck getting lower in front. I also have a Transition and the way the front brake cable routes creates a real mess when you drop the front end much lower.

I'm also not convinced the 0 offset seat post is best choice for you. Specialized made the 0 offset post to cater to the smallest riders and ensure that they could fit all the pro athletes within the UCI limits. Nearly all the bikes shipped with the laid back option however because its a better fit for the vast majority of riders. As the bike is no longer UCI legal anyways I am going to assume you aren't constrained by saddle set back and you aren't that small. It is hard to tell from the video but you do look pretty far forward relative to the BB with the saddle pushed far back on the rails. My instinct is to move you back and make sure your position is really locked in relative to the BB before playing around with anything else. That said you should be able to feel if you are the right place relative to the BB and if it feels good don't mess with it.

This was a budget bike and came with that. would prefer the standard off set one for sure. Yes, I have noticed that with the front end, bit frustrating.

I would say longer should be your priority, not necessarily lower.

any thoughts on saddle height and such?

figure start there then can work to front end since that requires more changing of stuff. I will swap a longer stem

Saddle height looks good to me. Depending on your flexibility your could potentially raise it just a bit.

Keep in mind that by going to shorter cranks (which would necessitate that your raise your saddle by an equal amount of crank length reduction) you can effectively lower your front end without actually lowering your front end.

Thought had longer stem do not though, move bars level and got better shot well tried to.

You should focus on increasing armpad reach and learning how to sit on your saddle. Roll your hips forward, possibly experiment with riding steeper (and then raise your saddle accordingly), but most importantly find yourself some more reach.

James can you elaborate on the steeper part please

Extended bars 1.25 inch ~approx

Thinking next size stem with a little extra negative drop and saddle forward and up a little?

I'm just looking at all that torso movement and thinking there's something not right going on.

Ignore that part I am just an idiot ..

"steeper" means riding more vertically in relation to the bottom bracket. can't tell what type of saddle you're on, but looks like it's preventing you from rotation your pelvis at all.

I used to have Fizik Tundra which was nice but this is demo of https://www.sellesmp.com/...ddles/triathlon.html

I know what steep is but my issue is how to do so.

Don't change anything (other than a saddle) until you can rotate that pelvis forward at least 45 degrees or so from where you are now. Your pelvis is like you are riding with no hands straight up in the air. Roll way forward and pretend you hate and really need to punish your genitals.

LOL

Knee flexion at the top of the stroke is right at the point that would indicate shorter cranks would help. I think that's why the torso is moving.

Well, maybe not quite 45 degrees, but yeah.

thanks all, will see if I can with saddle or find a different. Trying to keep cheap since rarely used but when used its important...

for me in past at least on road bike getting that rotation my saddle tilt has help so will try what has worked on road bike and see. Even with bike front wheel on lowest rise seems to still not be level, will work on that before next.

Your genitals?

Change saddle, sit properly, report back.
