Drop your top tip for getting more comfortable on the bike below? 👇

Que buen video justo lo que estaba buscando super buena explicación de todos los consejos ❤🚴🏻‍♂️

Since when has duffle-bags become popular on a race road bike?

Make sure that your handlebars are in the direction the bike is moving. I had back pain for years and this makes all the difference.

I ride a mtb in roads and i get shoulder pains after 16km
What's my mistake?

why my saddle nose always goes up after fixing it. It causes discomfort in my lower back.

Doubt this will be seen but could you tell me what handle bar bag you are using?

Nice video and presentation.
It is easier said than done. If we relax our arms pushing down we’d be sinking towards earth with our chest hitting the stem.

Is it the same with MTB's

The stupidity of the design of modern forks is SO obvious. Cut the steerer tube once, and that's it. No future adjustment possible. Quill stems? Not a problem. Adjust as needed, whenever needed. Simple.

Being able to properly bend the arms is primarily a function of proper bike fit.

Sure, if you're 2 meters tall, you can find a comfortable position. But if you're shorter, like the woman in the video, you have to lie on the top tube, because they don't fu***ing make bicycles for them.

Please stop advising on things you don't know anything about, especially when you are driven by sponsored products. You're creating bigger problems for people who genuinely want to enjoy their bike in comfort. You made videos with a very good bike fitter, but you seem to have disregarded them.

that "one" perfect position may never be found, for we ourselves change & age every day. the bike won't, so comfort-awareness is lifelong. especially if one watches YT-videos :-) buona fortuna!

My problem is I put the "ass" in "massive". I just can't find a seat to accommodate my ample backside. I've lost weight since I started cycling, but still have a long way to go.

Get a smaller frame sized bike.

Get a cheap spongy saddle.

A more cushioned saddle does NOT equal more comfort, generally speaking. I'm a slim female but my sit-bones are fairly wide apart, so the wider and flatter/harder the saddle, the more comfortable it is for me. A squishier, more rounded saddle makes me rock from side to side and that is not comfortable after just a few miles.

Wonderful world greetings

For a challenge, you two should swap bikes for a day. See how that goes.

On a slightly different note, could you possibly tell me which handebar-bag Connor is using here? It looks like the sort of item I'm looking for.

I'm new to graveling which is as close to a road bike I'm gonna get coming from a mtb oh dear I can't break properly no you don't use one finger ,can't turn properly I'm going to far out ,I feel like a nutter loads to learn

I get some tingling in my hands after some time on the bike. Anybody have any advice for me?

very less useful information.

I have flatbars, no thank you

Lol she needs a smaller bar! 🤔

The biggest help for comfort for me was changing the saddle angle. It was level from nose to back but that caused pain, i didnt even know the saddle angle could be changed until a friend told me and your videos showed me how and why.

My bike still needs a bit more adjustments but watching such videos is helping me get it right

I had a perfect riding position for 20 years including a pro bike fit. Then got random back of knee pain and now have had to change it! 😬

Thanks, I needed that!

I think back to our brake positions in the 1970s. Wayyyy fAr forward on the bars

The one that really helped me was getting of the nose but great video👍

Bending elbow? Tiring

Impact

The Wiggle Prime Doyenne saddle is very comfortable and a great price

love the saddlebag an tips longlive

I only ride a mountain bike. Much more comfortable!!

Just get a bike fit

I find the hoods angled slightly up gives you a more natural hand position and comfort

Nice ring Manon! He’s a keeper!

Do you wear your engagement ring while riding Manon??

Thanks for video 👍

Love you much GCN.

Remember, sometimes your handlebars may actually be too high and too close, giving you neck, shoulder, hand pain, etc. as well as posterior rotating your pelvis. It took me 2 years to figure this out.

Mark Beaumont taught me "relaxed arms" in a GCN vid. I like rides that can get up to 12 hours and this made a MEGA difference

On long rides my shoulders have pain from leaning forward. Do you have any helpful suggestions?

I’ve come to the realization that I need drop bars and I have to adjust my saddle again. More than likely I’ll go to my LBS and get everything sorted.
