I'm getting some neck and shoulder pain when trying to do longer rides, and I'm wondering if perhaps my handlebars are too low and/or I'm too stretched out. I wear glasses when I ride so I think I'm also tilting my head further up than normal in order to see through my glasses.

I'm also having some right knee pain. I'm not sure if it's related to saddle height or cleat position, but I've measured my inseam to be 91cm and have set my saddle height at 81cm for the video. Does it look too high? It looks like I may be pointing my toe down too much and my hips might be rocking a little bit. I'm also 6'2 on a 58cm frame and I'm wondering if perhaps it's a bit too small. Maybe I should be riding something closer to 61cm with a shorter stem? The current stem is 120mm.

What do you think?
Thanks very much for any feedback!
At 6’2 you should try riding a 61cm frame. A 58cm appears too small for you and is possibly resulting in your discomfort.
I am 6’3 and ride a 61cm....perfect! FWIW...
