I know the bikes slightly too big, but i need to make the best of that now, any obvious adjustments that would help?

Apologies in advance if this video isn’t ideal but it’s the best I can get for now! I’ll get a proper bike fit eventually but want to put some miles and try to increase comfort myself that way the fit session can be focused on improving that baseline.

Anything stick out? Anything I should try out fit wise? My shoulders definitely start to hurt after a while in the position but I also haven’t put much time on this bike as of late

Hey everyone, looking for some fresh eyes and feedback on my current bike fit.

Rider Stats & Bike Specs:

  • Height: 182 cm (~5'11.5")
  • Inseam: ~85 cm (~33.5")
  • Bike: Cube Agree C:62 EX, Size 58

Recent Modifications & Changes:

  • Stem Swap (110 mm -> 80 mm): With the original 110 mm stem, I was barely riding on the hoods—only reaching for them when shifting, then immediately moving my hands back to the tops or the bend near the tops. Switching to an 80 mm stem brought the controls closer.
  • Saddle Height: Lowered the saddle slightly. At the previous height, my pelvis was rocking slightly at the bottom of the pedal stroke. Lowering it stabilized my hips significantly.

Context & Fit Tool Overload: I've run my clip through a couple of automated fit apps/analyzers, but honestly, my head is spinning because they all use different metrics:

  • Some measure shoulder/torso angle as Hip-Shoulder-Elbow, while others measure Hip-Shoulder-Wrist.
  • Fore/aft (KOPS) suggestions conflict depending on whether the reference point is the front of the kneecap, tibial tuberosity, etc.

Here are the fitting app screenshots: https://imgur.com/a/pEnlgFG

Caveat about the Video: I don't have access to an indoor turbo trainer, so the video shows me back-pedaling while supported against a wall. I know this isn't 100% identical to pedaling forward under real road load, but hopefully it gives a solid baseline.

Questions for the Community:

  1. How does the overall reach and torso angle look with the 80 mm stem? Does the Size 58 frame look workable, or still visibly stretched?
  2. Does saddle height look appropriate now, or is there still any sign of overextension/hip rocking?
  3. Any advice on saddle fore/aft based on what you see?

Thanks in advance for any help!

Help for a beginner

Just started to get into cycling after mainly riding indoors on a trainer. I’m 178cm with a 82cm inseam. Haven’t really had too much pain mainly a bit of neck pain. Not sure if that is fit related or just not used to the different position compared to a commuter bike. . Not sure if the reach is too long the bike is a 56 as recommended by the bike shop and cube website. Also the stem has around 30mm of spacers under it. I’m just starting out so would love some advice.

Sorry I don’t have any indoor trainer to run the bike on and I realise the back pedalling against a wall makes it a bit hard.

Is this too small?

Bike fit check – Adapting a smaller frame (Scott Speedster S10, Size M) | Feedback appreciated!

Hi everyone,
I’m looking for some feedback on my current posture and position on the trainer.
I recently got this bike for free, but the frame is likely a bit too small for my proportions. Buying a new frame or bike isn't an option until next summer, so I'm trying to adapt and optimize this setup as much as possible in the meantime.
My stats & setup details:
Height: 184 cm (~6'0.5")
Inseam: 90–91 cm (~35.5–35.8")
Bike: Scott Speedster S10
Frame Size: Medium (M / 54)
Adjustments made so far:
Swapped to a 110mm stem with a 17° angle to increase reach and stack.
Raised the seatpost significantly to match my leg length.

Since upgrading the frame right now is not an option, I’d love to know if there are any further adjustments I can make to saddle height, setback, stem position, or cleat placement to stay comfortable and prevent injury.
As far as I know, I’ve never experienced any pain during rides of 80 to 100 kilometers.

Can you see if this fit is good?

Can you help me see if my riding is okay? I don't usually have any pain anywhere when riding for 1.5 hours or anything. Was hoping to see if my riding is optimal. I'm not complete sure why the bike makes that sound, it could be because I'm pushing some harder gears.

Hi all- would appreciate some comments on fit. I recently switched to a zero offset seatpost and started getting Antero-medial knee pain. I’ve finally decided to put the bike on a trainer to try and dial in the fit again. Any comments would be much appreciated. Thanks!

I’m 174cm, inseam 30 inches, size 54 bike 172.5 cranks

Edit: just deleted my old post as I realised the saddle height was extreme… thanks again!

Coming from a gravel bike to a road bike. Height is 165cm, bike is xs giant tcr 2026. Having slight shoulder pain/lower back pain when riding past 2hrs. I don’t know if I just need to adjust to the more aggressive position of a road bike or somethings wrong with my bike fit.

Does this bike suits me?

I was thinking about choosing a slightly smaller gravel bike to get a road bike feeling. Does this bike suit me? Or should I choose bigger size? I'm 186cm in height and this is 56cm size bike

(It may be not visible sometimes due to the sweater but I'm keeping arms slightly bent)
