you guys are soo wonderful and helpful!!! you guys helped me out when I had some shoulder pain!! I am going to pick up biking soon so this is a great video! do you guys by chance have a video on dealing with pain in the hands? just wondering for my father because he states that at times it is hard for him to grip things or pick up simple objects like his cell phone. thanks! and looking forward to watching more videos!
A possible subject: ‘how to correct a stooped neck?’ (young person)
That would be a great help, thanks! Another great video btw 🙂
10-14 degree knee. I hear about 25degrees, then 30 degrees. I’m lost.
How about handle bar height in relation to seat height? Surprised you guys didn’t touch on that.
the tendon behind my knees aches like mad after around 30 miles, any ideas?
thanks sir
Thankz soo much for this video..been riding bike my fixiee bike at the height it came stock and it was way off from where it was supposed to be, but fixed that issue thankz to you
Brad if I rode my bike using your 10-14 degree knee bend for any distance I would end up with terrible lower backache. What you fail to understand is that your cranks are far too long for your short legs. I suffer from the short leg problem & use 150 or 155 cranks for all my bikes (inside leg = 710mm) When you go to the appropriate crank length you can set your knee bend to 25-30 degrees as the shorter cranks create less bend in the knee at top dead center. Also the saddle should go further back when using shorter cranks by about 2/3rds of the difference between the original cranks & the shorter ones. Off course somebody who is young & very flexible could get away with 10-14 degree, but Joe average 25-30 degree.
What bicycle stand (trainer) are you using here?
This is fab. Had total knee replacement in June. Seat too low very painful as needs too much bend. Got it a tad higher now and it’s great.
Very helpful! Thanks!
very odd bike setup in general firstly the frame is huge secondly you are going to have a poor posture due to the ridiculous height of your handlebars. You may suit a shopping type machine or q cruiser maybe…
Interesting jig you have there, good idea.
Wonderful tutorial
Question: I’ve always thought of the bottom of the stroke is when the crank arm is in line with the seat tube. It is here that the leg is at its great extension. What is your opinion?

Very helpful video! Thanks guys!
Great job on the videos…lnformal and instructive.
Just checked my bike riding position and it looks to be about a 130 degree angle between my hamstring and calf. I’m tall so I thought this was normal. Getting a new seat post tomorrow. My knees thank you.
My dad bought me a bike but my height is 4’9 so I have a hard time reaching the floor to unmount. I had the seat it adjusted so I can reach the floor when I try to tiptoe. Is that okay or I will end up with bad posture or worse??
very helpful, thank you! looking forward to the seat position video
