Saddle is quite low

Agreed the saddle seems a bit low and he might need to move his saddle back a little bit

Agree... But not much

my comments would not be helpful. I think your saddle is a touch low too. I wonder how you'll like the saddle when it's at the proper height.

Are you maxed out on spacer height?

Saddle up back.

I have another 2 cm of spacers I can add between the extensions and the armrests - already maxed under the extensions. I have the extra 2cm because I suspected I needed to bring the stack up a little more and spoke with Dan K. about that possibility. How much do you think the seat needs to come up? .5 - .75 cm?

Unhelpful comments are okay....

I wouldn’t add spacers above your extensions. And I’d raise saddle 1cm I think to start.

How does it feel? What events are you racing?

IMO your saddle isn't too low unless you are having some symptoms that indicate otherwise. You certainly aren't too acute at the top of the stroke. Likewise for moving the saddle back... only if it feels better (more powerful or comfortable). You look good to me.

BTW, I'm not an expert! I just like to comment in fit threads... ;)

Thanks Eric. I will repost in about a week.

Thanks for your comments. It feels pretty good, but I do need to get the bike outside for some rides - weather and life keep getting in the way . I usually do 2-3 Olys and one IM distance race (bike leg is 190km with about 1800 meters of climbing).

I have had the saddle up higher when experimenting with other saddles (my old Attack and also a PR 2.0 that I had on my road bike), but I feel a little more stable with it down. I am using different pedals than I have previously (Time instead of Shimano) and that may be a factor.

Also with that much stack + what looks like a longish stem/pads forward, that bike is likely too small for you.

My sister's visit to Japan has kept me tied up for the past couple of weeks. I finally got around to moving the seat up 1cm as Eric suggested and when I took the bike outside for a ride, I ended up moving the seat back about .7 cm to feel comfortable. Overall, this feels more comfortable, but I think it will take some time for my legs to adjust to the increased knee angle. Any further inputs?

Apologies for the lighting. This was the best I could do in the late afternoon.

Thanks,
Dan

Bump to edit the subject line.
