Considering you’re on your way back from nasty injury I don’t think it’s a fair comparison Bruus?
Not that I should be being nice to you. Didn’t you pick that course?!
I’m regretting not lowering my weight before the ride
The primary reason is the injury I inflicted on myself in November. Of course, the December COVID (?), winter/spring lung infection, May crash and the current wisdom tooth issue didn’t help either!
On that note, I most likely won’t be riding next Thursday, as the 4th dentist will try removing it earlier that day…
And no, it was Randy who set up month’s league!

Too much time watching bike fit videos. I was slightly rocking my hips. I should know better

I read a bike fit piece years ago that showed that you want the knee in a vertical line with the pedal when the crank arm is at 3 o’clock. And then I have the saddle height so my knee is very slightly bent / just off straight when the crank arm is at 6 o’clock. I think all my bikes are set up slightly differently and it’s all a bit vague so I’m not saying follow my lead. But it seems to work ok as a rough guide.

That is where I have always had my seat. The video had me set my up my phone to look from behind and if the hips were rocking, lower it..
After making that mistake , I'll never get on the internet again.

Yeah maybe solving one issue but creating another? Does it matter if your hips rock? I’m pretty badly informed with this type of stuff. But maybe that’s not always a bad thing!

Now you bring it up, they didn't say why it was bad. It was a way to check if your seat was too high. Now I'm thinking I'm just "hip and with it".

Hi Randy, I was able to find my thread on my original rocker plate and version 2. It has all the relevant pictures and parts I used if you're interested in making one yourself. I know there are quite a few companies making them too for sale.
