yeah they have so much good stuff. I also recommend subscribing to their MTB & EMTB channels even if you don't DO those types of riding because it gives you a broader knowledge pool... for example, many of the techniques used for MTB to maintain traction on a loose trail or in a climb can be used by a road cyclist in the winter or when riding a dirt bike path. also most of the mechanical tips apply to any bike but the MTB crowd sees a bit more extreme issues. Probably my best advice if you ride where it snows and plan to cyclo-commute in it, is to invest in 45Nrth gear. they won't talk about that company's products on these channels, because that company isn't a sponsor, but it's the only company that I know of that actually makes gear for Sub-0°F cycling. Most of the gear that you see from other companies that's rated for zero degrees is rated for zero degrees CELSIUS -which is of course only 32°F, that said I've taken 0°C rated cycling shoes down to 19°F (-7°C) before my toes started getting numb, but still better to have the right tool for the job, and 45Nrth sells boots that are warm down to -20°F (-30°C) and fast rolling studded snow tires (although the studs only help on ice not so much on churned up driven over snow)

@@thebikethebody You seem to know your stuff just by having my seat. I have a sensitive behind and I am not claiming to have the child producing department of an ox but that Selle SMP seat even without any padding on the carbon other than the leather cover is the comfiest I have ever had. Being normal in the nutty department I do not need to ride my TT bike to feel a flat tipped saddle seat level on marathon rides or heaven forbid any nose up tilt on anything more than a few kms. The great thing about the Selle SMP seats is the saddle rail extending way farther than most. Having multiple arm injuries i need my Redshift damped stem and they make them too long for my comfort. Helping aero though. Adding a seat that goes more forward than any other created a comfy yet quite good compromise in aero position for me increasing my leg power output. Even though I have ridden a TT bike for years two of them as my primary bike. Ask me how I know about pain in the balls sitting on the seat tip of a used bike that is slightly too large for me but I got it cheap. The same goes for the road bike that got perfect with the Redshift/Selle SMP combo. I cannot complain about the size since I got a great fit eventually with money considering the bike is a steal (No I bought it in a shop that bought it from Ridley factory). And the bike in the previous 10 gear version took 4th in GC at the TDF. So I got a non abused by a pro bike built for a world tour team cheap and had the money and options to make it suitable for an injured rider... Hooray Ridley, Redshift and Selle SMP. But also physios, doctors, GCN and other sources of information that helped me learn how to make my fit great with good shock absorption with 28 mm tires that is the maximum the frame takes. Pushing on break the tire clearance ahem. Oh well you cannot have everything.

If you find it hard to ride on the drops, rotate the pelvis forward so as to maintain the lower back relatively flat. It may feel like you are in a but of lumbar extension at first (back arched backwards), but it will open up the upper chest and give you a more relaxed upper body. This newer position may require a saddle adjustment, namely saddle angle and setback. Hamstring flexibility is very important!

I wish someone had mentioned the pectoral muscles (chest) when talking about hunched shoulders! The pectorals are really strong, and a lot of our daily activities (like hunching over a computer or phone) allow them to overpower our back muscles. Building the muscles of the upper back is good, but stretching the pectorals is crucial and easily done. I’ve had clients greatly reduce hunched back by doing this exercise: stand in the center of a doorway with arms raised & bent like a goal post (think American football) or a trident. Placing the lower arms (the goal uprights) on the door jamb, lean forward just until there’s a stretch across the chest. Hold for 20 seconds, then repeat. The best thing is that this could be done whenever you’re going through a doorway (as long as no one’s behind you)

Genuinely the most informative video I think you’ve done. Can you go deeper into this to look at other issues such as numb toes and how different shoes and even different shorts can affect fit and efficiency...
@JanneRasanen23 жыл бұрын
Numb toes can come from a variety of reasons. Too cold, too tight shoe/sock combo or squashing of nerves and blood vessels. No blood circulating>lack of oxygen=pains according to a doctor. Cleats forward especially on flexy bottom shoes tend to press nerves and blood vessels between the balls of the feet so some may get help from moving the cleats back as far as possible. Some ultra endurance riders make new cleat attachment points in the middle of the soles. Very stiff soles such as some carbon soles do reduce the cleat pushing up into the foot because the pressure divides into a larger area and by preventing the cleat tilting so no edges dig into to foot. Too tight shoes/socks constrict blood vessels again depriving tissues of oxygen and nutrients minimizing flushing of waste products that occur normally and heightened by physical exertion.

I've been having similar issues, and it turned out that, as well as what Ricky recommended, that I was putting too much weight on my hands from leaning on the handlebars. It turns out that handlebars are just to steer the bike, and you shouldn't be leaning on them at all. I'm working on building my core strength so that i can balance and pedal without needing to lean forward. I never had these issues with my old retro style cruiser (and I went bike packing with it for a week once) so it might help to raise the handlebars so that you're in a bit more upright position too.
@CommaCam3 жыл бұрын
If you find yourself sliding forward all the time, take a look at your saddle tilt angle. If it points downward, gravity will always be forcing you forward onto the bars, increasing pressure on your hands. I had this problem for a while and finally solved it by getting a better saddle (with a cut-out) and leveling it off.

riding on the hoods is more aero since you reduce the frontal area of your arms. Riding on the drops will only give an advantage if it results in dropping your torso. But you don't need to ride on the drops to assume a more downward position per se, you can do the same on the hoods,
@johnandrews35683 жыл бұрын
Riding on the tops a lazy position? The drops are meant for hammering and being aero. if you raise the stem and ride the drops then you might as well keep the old position and ride the hoods... then when you need to be more aero, you can get lower. I'm 198cm and have a slammed stem with a -20 profile on Fizik Cyrano snake bars. I'm on the hoods 75% of the time, which still makes me more aero and lower than most on their drops.

Interesting: deadlifts, bent-over rows. These would be appropriate for muscles that produce 'high' tension - e.g. latissimus dorsi, trapezius - but not for muscles that produce 'low' tension - e.g longissimus, spinalis, rhomboids. I'm not sure whether this distinction maps onto the 'superficial/deep', 'slow oxidative/fast oxidative glycolytic/fast glycolytic', 'large/small', and 'postural/phasic' dichotomies (the last dichotomy being contentious in any case). Because the deeper muscles of the back - the intrinsic and intermediate muscles - are responsible for keeping one upright, I suggest the aforementioned exercises will not improve posture, whether riding or otherwise. This is not my opinion. Merely a re-statement of fundamental anatomy and physiology. My opinion on numerous 'pearls' of sport-specific or physiotherapy-specific wisdom: they're readily questionable.

kzbin.info/www/bejne/aH22hISmq7Skoqc this video is a dream for flute exercises (even tho its title says its for patellar tendonitis, a good half of the exercises are specifically for glutes, one of which is the mentioned glute bridge. Worked wonders for me, would highly recommend if you want to get those glutes activated!
