    Gosh the this is the first time I've heard an expert say something I thought was a bit weird (but in a good way) about me and my bike. I have said to people, "My backs a bit sore, I think I need to go for a ride", and they think I'm crazy but now this guys confirmed that, "...cycling is actually good for your back." Happy days.

    Really laughed at the scud mag reference😂😂
    I got a new bike 15 years ago and it's never been comfortable.
    I'm 5 7 with a 31.5 inside leg and got 54cm specialised allez elite.
    I feel its too long ant handle bars too wide.
    Ended up with my friends dad old Raleigh that's a M frame but the stem is so much shorter and handle bars are a 38cm
    . It's so comfortable in comparison

      handlebar width tis the easiest element of bike fit. It appears that bike manufactures purchased lots of stock of 42 and 44 cm handlebars.

    Bar width - Chris Horner was an exception to the rule. He rode a very upright 'H2' frame (vs everyone else on a H1) with 44 bar width (his height 1.78m, 64kg), but like all climbers he was very light above the waist. Winner of the Vuelta a España and the oldest to win a Grand tour...

    Hello Coach,
    What is your opinion to use the kind of rule "you must not see the front hub since it is behind the handlebar if sit in the saddle" to choose frame size?

    • @BulletproofCycling
      @BulletproofCycling  11 месяцев назад +1

      I tend to avoid such a position as it increases the load on the front wheel contact point and can make twitchy at high speed. However as long as you are aware of this and can ride at speed (eg downhill) with soft front loading etc then you should be ok - the most important thing is being able to ride safely 👍👍👍

    I am 5'6 (167cm) and my first bike was Scott Speedster size 52. It always felt a bit too large. Since then, I switched to size 50 and XS on 2 other bikes and they are the right fit, but still feel like they could be smaller without a problem.

    Hello Coach,
    Firstly, I've seen many you tube videos about zone 2, health, vo2 etc.
    Your content by far I have found most helpful, simple messages without all the spin and most entertaining. Great work.
    I do have a question in relation to the medical condition PCOS. My partner has said that she has been advised away from zone 2 cardio type of training or above. I keep thinking that surely zone 2 is healthy for everyone, isn't it?
    Do you have any ideas or opinions?

    Shorter cranks - I've used 172.5 cranks for a long time and felt like my pedal stroke wasn't as smooth as it could be and my hamstring and glutes never felt used as much as my quads. 165 cranks feel smoother but hamstrings and glutes wear out and become the limiters. Is it that 165 is bad or should I swap cranks to slowly get used to 165? Thanks

    Back again for a second comment, HOLA from Spain and still a great video. OK I picked up on the comment about the knee to the pedal spindle which reminded me of another bike fit person on RUclips not a male and puts a plum line from the front of the knee to the pedal spindle.
    I use the mummy arms thing for length, but it was just the lack of power through my pedals which I've been and fettled with ( seat higher and forward )🤏🤞

    • @BulletproofCycling
      @BulletproofCycling  Год назад

      I wouldn’t rely on the plum line from front of knee - use end of femur 🦴 👍👍👍

    hey, a beginner here😊, question about where to actually sit on the saddle, its confusing, i see you use that pelvis for examples and it looks to me that you don't realy sit the seatbone on the wide part of the saddle, it's like you actually sitting it by the perineum, when everywhere in the internet says otherwise, i'm sorry to sound stupid, 😂
