Another Critique my fit (First tri bike)
Quote | Reply
Finally took the plunge to get a tri bike after competing with a road bike for past several years.

I think I am in the general ballpark -- but would appreciate input.

Thanks!

The fit looks ok. Seat might be a bit high. My big question is why did it sound like there was a lawn mower running right next to the camera?

I am a bad runner.

You are pretty observant - my neighbor was indeed moving their yard in late December

Looks like a comfortable long course position. You could probably get more aggressive, but I'd save that for a professional fit.

As mentioned, the seat is a touch high (the knee angle is good, but you have to toe-down to keep from overextending). Some folks seem to prefer a bit of ankleing, so I'm not too concerned as long as it work for you (no patellar issues).

Solid start. All I can do is really echo what the other guys have said.

I am leading a bit....what height/leg length, crank length, and what saddle is that?

Just observations from a short video based on what the experts typically respond with to those that look similar:

Saddle down
Possibly slide forward on the saddle and rotate
Front end longer and lower the same amount as saddle drop
