You seem to be really struggling with you seat height. Read these two articles and give the described method a try. It helped me a lot. It will help you get your seat to a height that enables smooth pedaling throughout the full stroke, and prevent injury. https://www.stevehoggbikefitting.com...ard-can-it-be/ https://www.stevehoggbikefitting.com...d-can-it-be-2/

Good reads! Thank you! I might try shooting video from behind too, so I can see what my hips are doing.
