You should set the saddle height with your leg straight and your heel on the pedal. Wearing padded cycling shorts helps.Originally posted by pacharan View PostSaddle may be too high, I don't know.
At the moment my legs are totally straight at the bottom of each revolution.Comment

Sudocream is the savior of the long distance cyclist; slap it on as liberally as you can. I did a 34 mile ride this week, in 28 degree heat, and had forgotten my Sudocream so my arse is a red raw as MFs' is after a session with his Broker.
Just got back home and slapped on a liberal amount and went for a cheeky 10 miler along the canal and it already feels better...Comment

That's really bad for you pach. You need to have a little angle, not fully straight at the bottom, you'll shag your Achilles otherwise. I rode 500 miles with full extension and tore my tendon. Specialists say you can get 30% extra power if you 'almost' go 100%, but you need a slight bend in the knee at the bottom.Originally posted by pacharan View PostSaddle may be too high, I don't know.

BP "Ow, ow, I got a sore arse. Can you have a look for me?"
MrsBP "Oooh, your perineum is really red. Looks like a monkey's bum"
BP "My what-ineum?"
MrsBP "P-e-r-i-n-e-u-m. It's the bit between your sack and your crack".
BP "Wow - I never knew that had a name. Can you lick it better for me?".Comment
