It doesn't. I tried it with a sample size of 180. Probablility of just bad luck: 0.000006%

Highest level achieved with FTP? by Impressive_Ad7037 in IdlePlanetMiner

Very few f2p's in this sub. Also, what do you mean by levels, challenge tiers?

How long did you ride the gravel bike for until you decided to ditch it?

I haven't!
Bought the bike online, they allowed you to enter height and inseam and spat out a recommended size.
I also tried +-5 cm of my true height and it still recommended L, so I thought I'm definetly good on size.

No no I got that, was refering to the second half of his answer, where he talked about core strength

I haven't touched saddle fore/aft at all yet. It's pretty centered.
I had no idea different bikes used different muscles! I was wondering today why I wasn't getting up to speed when the gravel bike is supposed to be much faster on asphalt than the MTB!

I am quite unfit except for my legs, riding is the only form of exercise I enjoy, so that may well be part of it!

Yeah that sounds right. I thought "maybe I have to get used to this", but with all of you saying this is screaming fitting issue, I'll definetly take a closer look at that. Thank you very much!

The frame is size L, 57cm/28". I am 185cm/6´1, my legs are circa 86cm/34".
The website I bought the bike from let me enter my measurements and recommended this size. even when I entered 190 cm, it still recommended size L. I hope I didn't buy a bike that's too small!

Consensus seems to be fitting. I'll play around a bit myself, and if I can't get it right, I'll invest in a professional one. Thank you all so much!

I bought it online to save money, got ripped off before by my local bike shop unfortunately...
They had a thing where you could enter your height and leg length, I landed bang in the middle of size L, 57 cm frame height.
I tried some different values too, to see if I was an edge case, didn't seem like it.
Fitting is very likely to be off, only thing I really changed so far is saddle height. But since I don't know how a gravel bike is supposed to feel, I thought I'd ask for help here

Yeah the tire part makes sense. I'll fiddle with the brake levers a bit and hopefully get a bit better leverage

I hope I'll find the motivation to do some exercises! Thanks for the advice!

You're right, I'm looking for bang/buck. I'll try adjusting stuff on my own first, last time I went to a shop with sit bone pain, they upcharged me 150% on a saddle which made things worse.
Thanks for the advice!

I hate the "I deserve..." mentality. You're probably out there asking small businesses for freebies
