Setting Up New Bike

[Eucid]

Hello,

I'm new to cycling, but I come from athletics, where I competed internationally.

Below are a couple of photos with angles on them of a rough set up. Just wondering if anyone could shed any info on them.

I will be getting SPDs in the next month or so, will probably need to slightly change the set up when I have them.

Thanks

Hi,

I cant see you pictures, it looks like there is something wrong with the image tags. I see the black box with the cross in it, then

Me too. If I right click I can "Open Image in New Tab". I followed what is says to for uploading picture, don't know what happened...

Not sure what the relevance of this revelation is!

Not sure what you're asking for info on! I think fit is personal and will depend on what's comfortable for you for how you want to ride. We don't have all your vital statistics (and I don't want them!) so just start with a neutral setup from the bike shop and tune your angles bit by bit till you get where you want.

I will be getting SPDs in the next month or so, will probably need to slightly change the set up when I have them.

Don't see why this in itself would necessitate a setup change!

Thanks

You might need to raise the saddle slightly to account for the slight increase in pedal/cleat thickness, i can tell if my saddle is out by a couple of mm .
Is your set up comfy for you atm ?
