Fit Critique / Single Speed
Quote | Reply
Hi experts. Please lend me your opinions. Another hacked together bike from my existing bikes and parts. It might just stay on the trainer, though as I usually only do flat sprint events it might get a race, if I find a suitable freewheel (probably 14T, which would put me at 90rpm at 38kmh)




relevant details:
saddle 780
cranks 170
saddle nose ~80 set back from BB (as far forward as I can get it with that post, 20mm setback. Further forward would be nice, I'm sitting right on the tip.)
stem 110 x 10 degrees, fully lowered.
Frame 580ST, 580TT, 74 seatpost angle

(Pad X/Y: 505/630)

Cheers.


(Yes, that is a wrinkle in my shirt. I'm not that glad to see you. Shoes and pedals would change if raced)

Kinda weird to say this, but I think your saddle is a bit low.

what is this, some kinda birrazo-world?!!?

Good call. Re-measured and it's closer to 775.
And I usually run 780 with 175 cranks.
Plus I'm riding closer to the nose than usual.
So it probably could be about 10mm higher.

Saddle up 10mm:




Sorry about the clunking noises (turn the volume down). that back wheel/freewheel does weird things.

that what i say - this will allow for more toe pointing thru the power phase of the pedal stroke and faster cadence.
