Actually, the seat post has several options that in effect do the same thing as “raising”. You can move it forward, backward, lower and of course, raise.
Hip flexion and extension are independently determined by an each person’s ability to plantar and dorsi flex the ankle joint and effective body reach.
The video is about pedaling technique and drills on rollers and the camera may be distorting the angle of the hip and knee which my be what you are seeing.
I belive this fit is good.
raise your seat post, hoss
Great Video!!!
I can’t assess what your capability is, but rollers are for improving functional technique while cycling while incorporating similar road like balance training. Stationary trainers are not. That’s why I recommend rollers like Kreitlers. If you are studying…then, study. If you are cycling, cycle and be careful

Excellent video. I will remain clipped in now on the one leg drills. Also, I currently train with a CycleOps wind resistance trainer, and am quite satisified. It allows me to watch lectures while getting in a workout (I’m a 1st year med student). Should I switch to a resistance roller set? Would I still be able to watch lectures on my laptop while training?
Thank you for taking the time to post your video. First, a professional bike fitting takes 2 to 3 hours and includes a lot more than just the fitting. There are measurements and assessments of mobility, gait, flexibility and strength.
That said, based upon what I’ve seen you should definitely consult with an experienced fitter. And in particular look at the canting of the cleats (right seems to evert), rpms, stack and reach, saddle height, fore and aft.
Buy at set of Kreitler Rollers and let them know I referred you…No more mundane training…Thanks for you comments.
this is a helpful video, particularly in getting ideas for what will be a mundane winter on the trainer
All the best…Thanks.
Coach thank you for posting this. I’m going to incorporate your ideas into my cycling technique drills.
Well said…thanks for the comments and support.
Coach, great job and coordination. Keep doing all these videos as I believe they help promote the sport and encourage new athletes to join the sport and become better on their own. I have been a tri-athlete for a while and learn a few things today,…for those criticizing, stop listening with your eyes only and you probably learn more. Keep up the good work!
I am building a rollers platform and stabilizer I developed in my coaching studio near Lake Tahoe. When it’s finished I’ll have 8 stations. Rollers are the best indoor training for cycling technqiue.
Thanks for your comments and good luck.
i have a hard enough time just riding my rollers for 10 minutes straight. I haven’t gotten to the single leg drills on rollers yet. On the road, yes, but not a chance on rollers for me. Nice video. I like that you are explaining things. This is good for those new to trying to train their pedal stroke. Too many of us are mashers.
thanks
Individual plantar and dorsi flexion in the ankle affect the degree of heel drop. Not necessarily the height of the saddle.
Rocking hips are more indicative of a saddle height that is too high or not positioned on the sit bones (ischial tuberosity).
That said, you’re correct in noting my left ankle does not flex as much a the right. This is due to 3 operations over the years. It’s individual differences and not “one” specific for everyone. There are ranges.
Thanks for commenting.
GOOD ON YOU, WHERES YOUR VIDEO CLIP ?? i WOULD LIKE TO SEE HOW YOU DO IT…
Wow, dude, you are being too critical. The information is credible, he does a good job of explaining it and all while on rollers, which are way different then a stationary trainer. And if you’ve ever ridden on rollers, you are gonna wobble or travel a bit side to side. Basically, the information and the video is good. You gotta get passed what’s on the screen and listen to the info.
okay the mic isnt hard, and if your teaching it, the skill should be second nature to you and conciously thinking about it shouldnt have to happen. besides when your hands are that close to the stem you have less rotational inertia and its easier to slide side to side. all in all the demo helps but could be better which is what i was getting at the whole time. and yes i actually can ride quite well while looking around and talking at the same time thanks
I think he does great! Like he said he is lecturing, thinking, looking at a camera and the toughest part of all is trying to ride on rollers while this all of this! I think you did an outstanding job and I would like to see this jhardy66617 do any better.
Great video… a very nice contribution to those of use aspiring to be better cyclists.
The clock is “always” relative to each rider. Perhaps, I should have mentioned this? I am glad you got something out of it notwithstanding some confusion.
Thanks “dude”
.
dude when you talk about pedal oclock you should face towards right – this video shows that the cranks are turning anti-clockwise in relative to your description hence might be confusing to some. but apart from that ive learned a valuable lesson, the unclipped single leg isolation pedaling. i too dont really like doing traditional one-leg-out method coz pple who see me riding in such way think i broke my crank or somthng.. but with this new way i can just ride normally:)
Thank you very much. Very helpful. I’ll watch many times, to absorb all the info. you gave. Thanks again, D.
Excellent job!!!
Thanks for doing this.
