I did a little research and gathered saddle heights of pros who measure the same height as me (1.7m). I collected the data by looking at presentations of their pro bikes.

In my case, I have the original Arione that came with my bike, and I think it blocks pelvic rotation because if I bend forward from the pelvis then I have pain in the sensitive area. So in this...

Couldn't agree more, Brian25. Very weird sizing. Maybe the H1 geometry is closer to a normal bike.
This distinction between geometries is not a good thing for me as a consumer, it just moves me away...

After examining stack & reach from geometry tables, I think that a Cervelo R or a Ridley Helium would have been wiser choices. I guess that having a long saddle like...

Hi all,
I am 5'7" (170cm) with 32" inseam (81cm) and I think I have the same problem (short torso - long legs). I also have the same bike (CAAD). I ride a 52, should I have gone for the 50???

Maybe its my idea but moving them completely the other way (forward) gives me a higher cadence but makes me suffer when doing low cadence work even...

I have no doubt for the outcome, I am just saying that moving the cleats forward should give you a more powerful position since the lever becomes larger.

90mm. I've seen this length being used by companies at size 52, at least bikes having an aggressive geometry and a long reach.

When we move the cleats forward then our feet come backwards in relation to the pedals (closer to us)... so it is like lowering the saddle. Correct?
In contrast, whenever we move the cleats...

Thanks for your answers. berner, the saddle moved up by about 1cm, and that's something I would do anyway because I think it was low. It seems that my calves now are doing the extra work of...

How to know if cleat setup is ok?

I've recently changed my cleat setup. I have no pain but because I've moved them forward, I get some calf cramps when cadence increases. Of course I don't know if the cleat setup is to blame, because...

Cannondales have a long reach so going a size down and correcting with a bigger stem should be enough. There are some things to consider. Would you have a problem adding some spacers to the 52? Or,...
