Mountain Bike Fit And Body Position Clinic | Ask GMBN Tech Special

We often get asked lots of questions about incorrect bike set up and fit, and the consequences when out on a mountain bike trail. They vary from struggling with lifting the wheel to manual or wheelie, to suffering from knee pain or saddle sores. Here we address the different ways you can set up your bike to make it comfortable and work for you.

Doddy discusses how different geometry and sizes of bike along with the finishing kit will affect your ability to be comfortable or move the bike around.
One thing most people experience unnecessarily is being uncomfortable in the saddle, and this can easily be rectified by addressing the position or angle of your saddle. If the pain continues it might be worth researching the correct saddle for your sit-bone width, and experimenting with different shapes and brands.
Having the right sized stem will change more than you might believe. A shorter stem or riser bars could allow you to raise the front wheel easier, but you might want to consider a longer stem for more control if you ride steep or long climbs.
Getting your clipless pedals and the SPD cleats installed correctly is also very important for injury prevention. If you're experiencing knee pain this could be one of the reason's why.
Additionally having the right tyre pressure for the terrain and conditions, can make your ride more comfortable in addition to offering consistent grip. The same applies to suspension set up: the correct suspension pressure, compression, sag and rebound for your weight, terrain and riding style could change the entire feel and ride of your mountain bike.
