How To: Setup your bike

[@adassa1132]

After how many years since you've uploaded this video and it's still gold in 2023. There are many videos on here about how to set up your spin bike but this is highly the best and most accurate way with the clear demonstration and highlights, this video is gold, thaaank you. I never even considered pedal and knee alignment I've changed my seat height as well. I've started indoor bike riding and had been sustaining knee aches like most here within the comments and the slight alterations have helped immensely. Hand on heart, I'm truly grateful to you. Please, dont delete this video its highly invaluable.

[@alansmith7626]

I cannot thank you enough! I bought a spin bike a year ago and have yet to spend much time on it, for many reasons, but now I am retired so I was trying to figure out how to do the set-up...Thank You!

[@spinning]

You're so welcome Alan. Glad it was helpful. Happy riding!

[@hothotheat3000]

I had some slight knee pain after a cycling class at my gym. I had used the adjustment that the teacher had given me. I went into the studio with this video while the studio was empty and I wouldn’t be bothered, and adjusted my bike using this video. The teacher’s adjustment was completely wrong: she had my seat too low, she didn’t do a heel check, and she didn’t do a knee/flexion check. I’m honestly shocked that she was so incompetent, but when you have a class of 60 people, personal attention isn’t really a thing. I’m glad I found this video so that I could fix it before real damage was done.

[@spinning]

Happy it was helpful to you!

[@brendathompson3758]

in my experience, most cycling classes are not led by people who actually use road bikes... those classes are often more pilates-esque rather than being focused on cycling techniques. so the people leading those classes often don't even know proper techniques for setting up a bike, posture on a bike, etc...

[@andrews9950]

I find this video really to the point, brief and helpful. Since instructors during spinning classes don't have time to check bike set-up for everyone you should know how to do it yourself. I have had the pain in my knees a couple of times after spinning classes as a result of incorrect bike set-up. The height of the seat is the most important to avoid this problem.

[@spinning]

Thanks Andrew!

[@kappakumplete]

Awesome. Video is almost a decade old but was just what I needed.

[@Kate-hx9gg]

This is a very helpful video for beginners. Even if it just to ride a bike outside. it is a good video to watch, and I would definitely recommend this video.

[@heysweetlove5257]

Mencoba alat itu,aku gak pernah olahraga dan pertama kali. Mencoba,yang kurasakan terengah2. Kaki jadi kebas saat mengayuh di kira2 20 kayuhan. Dada saat kayuhan dihentakkan kebawah,ada tekanan.lama2 kaki gak mau mengayuh. Malas menjalar. Kmdn tanpa pendinginan,saat tidur malam,pagi hari,semua badan dirasa kaku. Sekali kumencoba di rumah saudara. Treadmill,ditoko. Kok gak mau krn takut terjerembab. Dan mencoba duh mengangkat kaki,berat banget. Yo jatuh. Kan caranya berlari yang tetap ditempat. Jebul nyatane kui abot.

[@olgawatson3894]

Great explanation!

[@michaelramirez4162]

Superb video! Amazing tips

[@markoreilly4433]

Great video, very helpful. Thank you

[@Camh1968]

I note the importance of sequence on the different body parts. But, won’t the leg angle change and be out AFTER the for-aft adjustment is made?

[@slpumgfzx]

I was going to ask about this too. As I have a knee problem I want to get it right.

[@alistairjudkinsali1419]

I have chosen a spin bike for my HIIT excercise

Thank you so helpful. I have just subscribed to your channel..

[@artofapril]

Is the guy narrating this also in the up and vanished podcast?

[@Crypto_LoverXD]

thank you!

[@mapp4751]

alot of good info here but i sure do like that bike! probably quite pricey!

[@spinning]

We have several bikes to choose from at multiple price points with various features. Happy riding! spinning.com/spin-bikes/

[@bagluva]

What do you do if you are kind of in between two seat heights? Choose the higher or lower seat height? Should I choose the lower height which allows for more flexion at bottom of pedal ?

[@xJennyDangerouslyx]

I'd say, there's a tool that can measure the angle of the leg called a goniometer, check it in both settings and go with the one that is closest to the ideal setting.

[@jessicamuniz9761]

Thank you!! Big help

[@mikehenderson1268]

[@ArseniusRubric]

perfect video !

[@michaelnewton1754]

I've never understood how anyone can be comfortable setting the handlebars lower than the seat... the big forward lean just puts more pressure on the dangly bits. Ended up getting a noseless saddle (since it's not like you need to turn on a stationary bike)

[@coachrazanr8498]

If the person is an outdoor cyclist he would be used to do this position .. they use it to break the air and getting faster in outdoor races .

[@azizmerchant7014]

I carnot set the screen on my bike as ever 3-4 minutes, it shows FINISH. please advise how can i change the program

[@johncleghorn4190]

thanks for that really helped me cheers

[@spinning]

You're welcome!

[@mwa_ri]

👊🏿 gonna try this out thanks!

[@chaudhari.mayur.b]

ok got it, let me buy a bike then !

[@geraldgallagher6581]

The wheel were the pedal are is buckled how can I fix it

[@Mikesbunny1423]

You say to adjust the seat to your thigh level and then he lowers the seat so bit confusing

[@Sandra-yo2yy]

it's just for a rough estimate of your seat height, it's more important that you're comfortable and that your leg is slightly bent when extended like in the video

[@Mikesbunny1423]

Sandra Markovic ok thank you

[@MobileDecay]

"Raise the seat. Now lower back to where it was. This is how I will be wasting your time. 😁"

[@ericellis3506]

Crazy.

[@rishijai]

The video said it's a good estimate and not exact. In fact there is no exact measurement, as each person's bio-mechanics is different.

[@directorstl9682]

I’m really struggling getting my setting right. I just got my new spinner bike. I’ve followed the video but the problem is that my arms are shorter than average. I’m only 5”2’ and I have to have seat low and the seat closer. Now my knees hurt. What to do?

[@chaitanyraut4754]

कडक

[@tamibee17]

Director STL, you can slide the handle bars forward. One aspect not discussed in the video was the slight bend in the elbow. You do not want to ride with your arms completely extended.

[@sarwatsajjad5781]

[@bmp713]

How does the flywheel weight effect the intensity of the workout? Can you do interval training and reach maximum heart rate with any flywheel weight?

[@spinning]

Hi Brandon. The perimeter weighted flywheel that was pioneered by Spinning® acts to smooth out your pedal stroke and help keep your momentum and even cadence. Our flywheel, along with our specific gear ratio, gives the rider the same pedal feeling as riding outdoors. The intensity of the workout is controlled with resistance and cadence (RPM). You can absolutely reach maximum heart rate with the flywheels on our bikes as long as you do it safely and in control, which is an integral part of our program. We recommend an RPM of heavier intensity between 60 and 80 for hills. Any slower tends to be hard on the joints. This is also why we recommend a cadence sensor or a SpinPower® crank to help you see your efforts and monitor your ride.

[@nutellabanana]

Hi, Wondering which type of shoes he is wearing. Just bought spinning shoes and they aren't compatible!?

[@tamibee17]

@nutellabanana, most indoor cycling bikes are compatible with the Shimano SPD system. If your cleats are too big you may have a size similar to the LOOK Delta cleats. If it's not too late you can probably see if the vendor has the smaller SPD cleat that will fit your cleats. Happy Spinning!

[@spinning]

Hey! You can find compatible shoes at our store link. spinning.com/shop/cycling-shoes/ Hope you're enjoying the ride.

The glare from those seriously frosted tips is really distracting. When was this video made, 1985?

[@lifesymphony2024]

I tried today. As i said, the seat was too hard and very uncomfortable. so, i only pedalled for 20 mins. Then, switch to elliptical for 35 mins.

[@MrMGR1986]

If this was at home, you can definitely get a better seat

[@tamibee17]

K.A. Sharmella, great job! The more you do it, the less uncomfortable you become. Happy Spinning!

[@pabloroldanjose5089]

Same way to set your road bike up........de la misma manera, se ajusta una bicicleta de carretera.

[@richardbunt2278]

What bike os that one

Hi! This is an older model bike that we no longer manufacture. Our newer models can be found at www.spinning.com. Thank you!

[@giovannidemartis4688]

how seat in a bike

[@HELLH0WND]

It looks like he just put the seat back right where it was.

[@MobileDecay]

After that you should raise it again, then lower it, then raise it, then lower it. By the time your done wasting your time adjusting the seat you won't have the energy to ride it. 😁

[@MrMGR1986]

This video is meant to take you as the rider through what you should do. Not him necessarily.

[@spinning]

Yes it's essential to walk through these steps for any bike set up because of differences in each riders body composition. Enjoy the ride!

[@lifesymphony2024]

The seat is toooo small for me.
