It all depends on what you need. By moving the cleats back you gain foot stability but lose peak power. I don't personally need peak power and I can still crank out high enough power if I need to....

This is indeed a dilemma. There are precious few studies done about cleat positioning. However that essentially means that if there's no data to support or refute the rearward cleat position, then...

Because that's not how a leg is designed to produce power? People evolved to walk, run, jump, climb trees etc (bit an eddie izzard reference there). Spinning pedals around doesn't equate to any of...

I'm curious. What's the reasoning behind the idea that cleats need to have a fixed position? (below the ball of the foot presumably?) Other than it's always been done like that?

The way I see it...

I went from the setback being the most important bikefit metric and still having constant issues and injuries to it being of almost no consequence, no issues and no injuries with added mileage.

I have pretty large feet. The difference between 45 degrees and 20 degrees is quite a few centimeters. The 109% formula puts my seat around 6 centimeters too high. It's actually three centimeters...

You probably shouldn't post if you take disagreements personally.

I just had to verify the math on that 109% figure. Using my own measurements I got 32 degrees knee flexion if my foot was...

Toe clips tend to have the foot further back from the pedal axle than clipless and that's a big factor for saddle height.

Now I don't actually use the 103 %, because formulae are stupid. For...

Well that thing I described there wasn't actually a formula. It's a method. A minute yet significant difference.
