This was the best explanation of gravel bike fit!

[@CreativeFishDesignsCharlotte]

thank you , i knew the stem length would change , and you the only one i have found to this day to say so for gravel specific frames . this get even harder if u build ur bike , lol and trying to get this halfway right wile in the building process

[@merqury5]

Great video!

[@alovelymanvideos]

Thank you, after searching for gravel specific fit advice, you clearly explained the road/gravel for differences and why. Immensely helpful, and I enjoy the format. I use my CX bike for gravel and road, and would like to know more what I can do to set my position for both conditions.

thanks for your king words!

Thanks, just what I needed.

If I tilt my saddle up I will not have any more kids.

[@blinzi69]

I have 1cm lower saddle height on my Gravel bike but I guess it is due to geometry and setback? if I put it on my usual seat height it feels weird also I am always using the heel trick to confirm and I can hardly reach the paddle on my normal height.

[@dronedaamazonia5842]

Thank you! And what about the elbow angle? Is it more interesting for the arm to stay straight, aligned, or to have a slight angle with the arm flexed? greetings from Brazil.

[@physiovelo]

Slightly flex is always best for absorption capacity of the upper body

Bonjour, Je suis presque systematiquement entre 2 tailles de velo (172cm pour 80cm d entrejambe) quelque soit la marque. D une manière générale, faut il privilégier la taille inférieure ou supérieure pour l achat d un nouveau velo

[@DerrickLilly]

Do you have any suggestions for determining the frame reach and stem length combination to choose for a gravel bike versus a road bike?

[@physiovelo]

Can you describe me your situation. We can start from there to comment adequately

[@DerrickLilly]

@@physiovelo I went for a bike fit to determine size for a road bike. I only had a gravel bike, so the fitter transferred the fit to my gravel bike, but it's uncomfortable position for gravel (too low/long feeling). So now I am confused about what size bike I really need for gravel and for road. There are lots of videos about measuring for your seat height, cleat position, bar width, etc. but not about how to know what size frame to get. The fitter said reach and stack are how to pick a frame size, but didn't explain how to measure yourself to know what reach and stack are best, or how to match that with a stem length/bars for overall reach.

[@physiovelo]

@@DerrickLilly the starting point is mostly you position on the bike and how confortable it is... So if your gravel bike is too long and too low, maybe you should start by replacing the stem with a shorter one and make sure to put it higher on the steering column. There is a lot of stuff that should be done in a bikefitting session before saying "this is the wrong size of bike for you".

[@allseasons765]

@@physiovelo I agree with @DerrickLily's comment. There are too few resources which explain how to choose the correct frame sizes, as very often one can be in between sizes. Just riding the bikes shortly in the shop doesn't tell that much, I would need upwards of 3-4 hours on a bike to really feel which one is more comfortable, which is not possible when testing. Bikefitting could help but it costs a lot and isn't available in many shops, so if you could do a video explaining that it would be great!

[@physiovelo]

@@allseasons765 for sure. We have big plans for the English Channel of Physiovélo coming in 2024-2025. What would be a list of the top 5 videos you would need?

[@SimonCaouette5]

Very relevant #gravel bike fitting 😍

[@physiovelo]

Thanks man !!

[@guidouable]

I was likening more in Frenchcais then franglais…. You no😉

[@physiovelo]

🤪 We will continue to do BOTH!

How about people without a road bike? All references are with road bike.

[@roadrunnerruud61]

Farting back??? 😂

[@nick_2k]

I am really sorry to say this but basically all this video does is say "dont do it as on your road bike" while giving almost no infos on how to actually set it up.

[@physiovelo]

What would have been the precision details you would have love to see in this regard??

[@shewh0rn]

Shorter stem by 2 cm? Ummm you would only do that if you’re trying to turn a road bike into a gravel bike (and even then, it’s not a great idea). The manufacturer would have taken this into account when designing the geometry of their gravel-specific bike. Also, you might have more credibility if you had her on a frame with a proper reach. For a gravel geometry, that bike is too long for her (heck, for a road geometry it’s too long). That bike is so long, no amount of shortening the stem is going to help, but aside from that, shortening a stem more than 1 cm will affect the handling and weight distribution of the bike, and if you need to shorten a stem by 2 cm you are objectively on a bike that is too long for you! 2 CM of reach is literally an entire frame size. Folks, this is just bad advice.
