My recent fitting - Video and feedback
Quote | Reply
Hey all,

I thought I'd share my recent fitting that was done.
I wanted to try some other saddles, I had been on a Adamo ISM and feel its a bit too wide. I would get a lot of rubbing on my sides.
So we first tried a thinner model (didn't note the name) and that put way to much pressure on my perineum, so then we tried a Koobie fusion saddle. This felt a lot better during the fitting. I took it home and used it for a zwift session and started to get uncomfortable after an hour or so. I'm going to give it a few sessions and see how it goes, but its definitely a lot better than the Adamo. I wonder how comfortable we can get this.
My saddle height came up about 1cm as well. L/R looked very symmetrical but doing this allowed to start generating power higher in the pedal stroke.
Left cleat float was also taken in; I had a complaint about my left leg feeling off like it feeling less stable than the right. Decreasing the float seems to be helping keep my leg a bit more stable. We will see.
Finally, we haven't fully decided yet, but I may swap out the bars for something that can sit lower. The PD sonic and subsonic both look like an option. 1 problem from that would be my legs getting too close to my chest, we could counteract that by moving the saddle forward more though. I have pretty long legs relative to my torso length you can probably tell from the video.
I definitely will be changing out the elbow cups for the new versions since I want to move them inward. I find moving my elbows closer is much more comfortable than where they are now. (cups are on order)

is that the original stem and bars that comes OEM with your QR?

do you have any more reach to play with?

you're right, a subsonic setup would help you.

I don't think you'll have a problem with crank length if you do that.

Yes, it's the PD Aeria. The stem is the original but it's as low as it can go. Still have plenty of reach to play with. Were you thinking of increasing it decreasing?

Yes more reach. Going longer often offsets the common discomfort of going lower.
