I have been following various fit threads and picking and trying different things out and ended up in the position seen in the video below, about HIM-IM race effort. I would be very thankful for insights how to improve my fit. I see that that there’s quite a bit movement in the hip area, but lowering saddle make feel cramped and knees don’t like it much. Pads are tilted 15 degrees and that helped me to prevent sliding forward. Cannot move pads lower or further, smallest rise in pad height is 2.5cm (have to switch to PD overmount bars).
My height is 169cm. Bike is Canyon Speedmax CF size small (all spacers removed), Zipp Vuka undermount extensions, Profile Design Aeria Ultimate 100mm stem, Fizik Mistica saddle, 165mm cranks. Helmet Giro Aerohead.
if only the camera was slightly to the left and turned a degree or two to the right…
I just don’t see the goodness in the Canyon CF, as everyone who’s serious about their fit has to get aftermarket stems and undermounts to get their fit right.

Headtubes are too tall on almost all tri bikes for people shorter than 5’7†or so who want a peak-aero fit. At least with stems and undermounts it can be done.

I totally agree with you. Bought the bike 2.5 years ago when starting triathlon and at that point I thought that lower and longer setups are just for the pointy end athletes, but how wrong I was. Today I would very probably pick another bike.
Your saddle is a very, very small amount high. Lower it 5 mm.
It looks good even if you don’t touch a thing.
Thanks! I will try lowering the saddle a bit. Do you think I should adjust fore-aft of the saddle?no. The height adjustment wouldn’t be enough to make a difference.
