Moisture's Unique Frame Fit

Notices
Fitting Your Bike Are you confused about how you should fit a bike to your particular body dimensions? Have you been reading, found the terms Merxx or French Fit, and don’t know what you need? Every style of riding is different- in how you fit the bike to you, and the sizing of the bike itself. It’s more than just measuring your height, reach and inseam. With the help of Bike Fitting, you’ll be able to find the right fit for your frame size, style of riding, and your particular dimensions. Here ya’ go…..the location for everything fit related.

Well, that should be good for another couple of pages

If one's position is way out of whack, there might be some back and forth adjusting to do, first one thing, then the other, then back to the first thing, etc.
Moving saddle back, bars away is effectively the same thing. Which is the appropriate fix would depend on how a rider is rotated, (being further forward or bolt upright) and the riders individual propertions. Your point is taken though, I could have been more clear.

Moisture, as mentioned above, you obviously did not take your measurements correctly and got a screwy result. One can't do that alone, one needs a helper to measure and one muse follow the directions precisely to get a correct result.

Be that as it may, there's a much more direct route to look at correct bike sizing and that's to measure with your body. I set saddle height by measuring with my leg, the "heel on pedal" method. I determine correct reach by measuring with my torso and arms. I was talking about your top tube seeming much too short just eyeballing it. We could take another look at that fairly simply:

1) Take a photo of yourself leaning forward with your elbows on your handlebars.
2) See if you can lean forward far enough that your back is almost level. You'll probably wind up resting your chest on your bars. Hang your upper arms so that those upper arms are at about a 90° angle to your torso. Then bend your elbows so that your forearms are horizontal. Take a photo of that position. It may take a few tries to get that position just so.
3) Post the photos.

Thanks.

Quite frankly it's very difficult not to make fun of your fit when by inference, you're making fun of everyone else's.
I can safely assume that you're the only person in this thread who modifies and rides a 'racing bike' to become some kind of 'shopping' bike or town bike while I also make the assumption that everyone else on this thread including me has a position more akin to the person you're calling mr. arched banana back.
Yet you've said that you can only ride for an hour and half before you get a sore butt (not that that surprises me at all as you clearly have far too much weight on it) whereas I, and no doubt all those who adopt the same position as mr. arched banana back can ride 6, 7 or 8 hours in a day without any butt soreness at all.
I don't think we've got much chance of 'seeing' your set up in action but maybe you can publish some garmin stats or show us some strava screenshots and we can see the phenomenal power you're able to produce with this 'optimal' position....

You'll notice how far the bars are away, in comparison to how much the OP's arms are holding up his torso in the photo he provides in post number 1. One of us will be way more comfortable on much longer rides.

Quite frankly, i don't give a sh*t what you think of my fit.

With the exception of cube wheels, I haven't made fun of one single persons fit on this forum. Even in his case, I was being very constructive and understanding that his choices are limited and he is making due based on what he has and his proportions, respectively.

From a postural perspective, an arched lower back is terrifyingly bad news. Unfortunately it would be wise to compromise your racy leaning forward position somewhat so you can keep your back in a more or less natural posture.

I am not here to argue whether such a leaning position is or isn't effective. I am certainly not here to judge other people's fit or criticize them directly because their opinion does not directly coincide with my own ideas. Shame on you for not doing the same.

When you ride your bike, assuming your stabilizer muscles are all engaged properly and keeping everything tight, you should feel like you are bang on centre. You should be able to easily weigh your front OR rear axle effortlessly, at any given moment of your ride, without ever feeling like there is too much weight positioned back or forth.

Originally Posted by cubewheels

Mine is 30 degrees in toe up feet (heel dropped) position. 30 degree knee bend is very common setting. But how it affects your pedaling efficiency is the final verdict. Bouncing at high cadence (~100rpm) is definitely not good.
Bouncing can be alleviated with some mindful motor skills and keeping the weight of your butt off the saddle when you are sprinting.

According to the heel to pedal method of measuring leg extension, I am bang on perfect. (note, my inseam is about 34.8 inches and I ride with 175mm cranks) . I digress.

Try a frame your size.

Again, its not exactly the same thing. Moving your saddle back will bias more weight towards the rear of the bike. Moving the bars away from you will bias more weight toward the front of the bike.

Therefore, your body is not balanced or positioned identically in either circumstance;

Not the same thing .

It really sounds ridiculous you're giving advice on bike fit when you can't even get the seat height right. You don't even know proper sprinting technique.

Hey Base2, Base2 here. Look, I know you wanna help an' all...& you know a thing or two about a thing or two, but this guy doesn't want your help & he isn't interested in listening. You see Base2, he doesn't share a common reality or have the experience with which to share a common understanding of what the words mean that you are using.

Just leave him alone, my friend. Just let it be. He'll come to understand in his own time.

Peace be with you, brother.

Threads such as this one remind me of the 1960s folk and pop singer Donovan boasting in an interview that he had mastered the sitar in 6 months. Ravi Shankar, told of Donovan's statement, said "I've studied the sitar for 35 years, and I have yet to master it."

Seat height is correct. Leg's too short. ETT and stem extension are correct. Upper body and arms are too long.

I don't mean to be nasty. My own way of handling a weak core is to avoid exercise and accept the pain of too much weight on my hands, arms, and associated joints. But my seat height is correct - no knee pain riding, but I get knee pain while walking and dancing. (I avoid running, too, whenever possible.) No back or butt pain, either, while on the bike, because the bike's length is about right, and my butt takes only part of my weight.

Moisture, You need to run some more experiments and check out more variables. You closed your mind prematurely, sort of like Donovan did.

You seem to be rather accurate.

I'm going to begin gradually lowering my stem height in small increments as I get used to using my core more. So far, I'm definetly noticing an improvement due to extra mindfulness as well as increased core training.

My inseam is almost 35 inches. I actually thought it was my torso that was proportionally short. I do know that my arms are pretty long though. I think that these factors are the main reason why I wanted such a weird fit (flat bars on a drop bar bike)

Id be very eager to play around with some different road bikes and find a different riding position for reference. I am defintly keeping my options open here. I have been searching the classifieds nearly every single day for a 60-62cm or so frame to play around with i obviously want a more leaning forward position, but so far I haven't managed to make that possible in a way which works well for me.

As for poor core strength, like i was saying, its more a combination of nearly every muscle in your entire body which plays an important role. There's always something you can do about that. They say that even the wisest and most accomplished is never accepting of their achievements. It's always a work in progress. Why should you accept anything less when you can do more?

Totally agree. But my proportions make it difficult to comfortably achieve what you consider "aggressive"

I've experimented enough with different stem lengths and heights to get a good understanding of what works for me. You told me that the only way to learn from this point onwards is by trying new frames. I 100% agree with you. I don't have ready access to that.

I think that by the point you're just being inconsiderate. I mean, what sort of advice have I ever offered, (which didn't come from you, or someone else on here directly) that you don't agree with? By all means,.show me even one valid example.

All I see on here is a couple of trolls mixed in with the rest of the friendly commenters on here. But at least everyone has made themselves useful and taught me a thing or two about bikes.

What he need is professional help (not professional fitting). I've seen such behavior a lot among narcissists, they only care about what they think is right or what they think is the truth even if it contradicts reality or other people's experiences.
Youre delusional, and horrifyingly hypocritical.

As long as your seat height is as far wrong as it is, you cannot know what works for you. My bet is that your hips rock all through your pedaling motion. That is bad for your muscles. It's bad for your most tender skin.

You don't need a different bike to check out stem lengths. All you need is a longer stem and perhaps a Technomic stem to get the height you'll want.. That will force you to bend to each the 'bars, and I hope you bend at your hips, and keep your arms bent at the elbow. .Start with you 'bars as close to level with your saddle as possible. Make your 'bars go forward of the stem so you have to stretch a bit.

You'll solve your butt soreness by taking weight off your butt. You'll open your chest and probably be able breathe better. Your arms will hurt at first, but you'll probably develop core strength, and they'll stop hurting. (I say that because I'm overweight, and my upper body is weak, but my core gets strong enough by the end of the season if I focus on decent form.) You'll find riding easier and more enjoyable.

Some time conventional wisdom is conventional because it works well. Try it - it may work for you.
