His knees dont look locked out though? At 6 oclock the knees are slightly bent. Should there be more bend?

[michael]

Well maybe my bifocals need adjusting but he isn't rocking in the saddle and his legs aren't locking out either. His toes are pointed down but you can find plenty of examples of this in the pro peloton.

what happened to those spacers from monday? lol that bike is extremely beautiful btw :D ride in good health Connor.

Me as a friend: your saddle is too low, move it higher, saddle to high, lower it, lower it, lower it, too low make it higher, too high make it lower …………….

[BaldKiwi]

Honestly looked like it was too low. I know your leg isn't supposed to be fully extended but yours wasn't even close

[Autonomous_]

this is assuming you have any friends at all

[MikesVlogss]

I took their advice and set my saddle height to 60 in.

[abedfo]

always remember there are very little side effects from having your saddle too low.

[caffeineisking]

Speed over back pain saddle needs an airplane warning light

[paule]

Too low and you over use your glutes and end up with lower back pain.

[afterthep]

his height is wrong, looks like he's riding bmx wheels

[simonpowell]

Try Try and try again, you will find what suits. Even the pros can't give a perfect solution.

[deejay]

Went out cycling with my girlfriend and she asked me to check her saddle height, I told her she has a fat bottom, now I have to cycle all alone.

[Immortal-_-n]

You're handle is too low, saddle height is ok.

[lucianocastillo]

With those tights that saddle sits tucked in deeep💀

[SW-gfzl]

The real reason for all this pain is you're riding the wrong bikes. After I switched to recumbents, all of this was completely gone. And my racing recumbent is much faster than the classic roadbike.
After 11 years of riding recumbents, I can clearly state that I'll never switch back to uprights.
Just my 5 cents.

Wow you guys are fishing for views. This is terrible advice.
