Critique my fit
Quote | Reply
Hello,
Following a few years off from racing I am back into Ironman in 2019. The photo is from Roth back in 2014 and was hoping to get a few pointers on improving my bike fit. It was generally comfortable but looking at it again the saddle looks high.

I would be very grateful for any comments/suggestions to improve power/position?


Thanks

Technically the second because he already said it.

Bike looks very small for you.

Also the whole image looks distorted and weird, the rear wheel looks bigger but the photo is from ahead of centre... Did you take a photo of a photo?

Bike looks to small, saddle to high, bring bars forward a touch and tilt bars up.

Go get a great fit by a good fitter and you will go faster!

It simply to hard to give tons of advice from one static picture, but those are my initial knee jerk reactions.

your bike is too small.

your seat is WAY too high.

you should consider getting a professional fit before buying a new bike.
