Let me know in the comments what works best for you, I would love to hear from you.
This is the article about cycling technique from CycleFit I cited in the video:

For the other videos I had my reluctantly helping son holding the GoPro :-)
I am wearing a Siroko SRX Pro Ardiden jersey and SRK Pro Elite bib shorts, both in Large. I am 185cm (between 6' and 6.1'), 86Kg (13st).

Hi Federico... just wanted to say thank you for your advice on bike position, cleats, saddles and seat height. I have been cycling Richmond park for 20 years or more and thanks to you have now found the right bike set-up for me! From lemond, to copying the pro positions (leading to massive back issues) I have followed your set-up and am now feeling more powerful and comfortable on all my bikes. A big thank you. :) keep up the good work... one small thing and all that. Duncan

Another fantastic video Federico. Thank you for all you do to help us cyclists out.
-
I found the best way to buy speed was loosing weight it’s much cheaper and the gains are huge. Thanks for another great video
-
Awesome information. Solved my question why I was slower than others. It was my saddle set too back! Thank Federico, your videos are practical and useful for average riders like us.
-
Thank you! Great information
-
Great video again, thank you!
-
Thank you very much for your valued information

Aloha, thanks again for the jersey really looking forward to wearing it! I agree with you on the cleat position. I also found I had better performance numbers with my cleat like that and it was actually easier on my bad knee for some reason, so I kept it like that. The only drawback is I have big feet and with my frame size I get toe overlap but not a problem since I'm aware of it. Great explanation of the different pedaling techniques with regards to the cleat position. 🤙
-
Great technical idea! I haven't thought of this, i do feel like I'm pushing forward a bit at first on the down stroke, I'm going to adjust, grazie!
-
Sounds right, Federico!
-
Nice explainations. You explained the reason why i couldn't engage my harmstrings when i was riding yesterday. My knee was too far back from the pedal axle, due to the fact that my saddle tube has an offset of 15 mm. So i swapped it with my moutain bike saddle tube that is straight and now it feels much better.

Funny but informative. Great info for us guys in the 50s who love to ride but trying to find the right techniques. 🤙👊
-
Excellent vid ✊🏾
-
thnx for your videos btw
-
I agree I have moved into aggressive position and increased my average speed🇮🇸👍🏻
-
Great explanations! I'll have to take a look at the location of the cleats on my bike.
-
Another thought provoking video! I need my seat rearwards on a setback seat post, moving my centre of gravity rearwards in order to offload weight from my hands. Power is optimised when all facets of fit is correct. A power meter really highlights pedalling technique,as you can analyse toque effectiveness, and pedal smoothness…
-
I have always used my cleat as far forward as possible to stop toe overlap as well as I had it pushed back once to try and I did a trackstand and fell off (I got my toe stuck) 😅 I do natually prefer being toe down as well maybe came from my bmx days as with flat pedals when you want to generate the power you have to toe down and when bunnyhopping etc
-
Thank you for your informative advise they are more pratical because I also adjusted my handle bar by bringing it up a bit and set my saddle back after adjusting my cleats backward and I am now much more comfortable on my bike which is a raleigh vintage bike which I will not get ride off to get a more morden bike for the sake of having a morden bike, to me it is about being in oneness with the bike.

Awesomeness
