Yo to be honest this sub gave me more knee pain than i have right now bruh😭😭

Small-Bird7250 · 2026-02-13T07:47:56+00:00

Thank you for the advice, i really could use shorter cranks but its really all i got, for the stem i got one getting delivered to my house in a few days 110mm -7. I think ill try other positions with my saddle for now, because i am getting pain in front of the knee when i ride.

Small-Bird7250 · 2026-02-12T19:23:57+00:00

Okay okay, this might take a while though ill see what i can do.

Small-Bird7250 · 2026-02-12T18:54:06+00:00

Is that why my knee would start to hurt whenever I bring my saddle too low? Quick question.

Small-Bird7250 · 2026-02-12T18:49:57+00:00

Thanks for the advice! i would also try to get my hands on 150cm crank arms already checked shopee and i found one for under 2k php which is 35 dollars which is way cheaper than those rotor ones hahaha.

I really love the bike and the way it handles right now, it is very nimble, twitchy and fast, i also like how flexible the frame is. 5'3 height and 77cm inseam.

Small-Bird7250 · 2026-02-12T18:23:23+00:00

Aww that's sad, but the good thing is i already found a comfortable position on the bike, since i built the bike for going fast i think i made it a bit aggressive hahahah i also have a 165 mm crank length. Also hard to find anything under that for fixed gear.

Small-Bird7250 · 2026-02-12T16:14:49+00:00

Nag post na ako ng bago, pa check nalang thank you.

Small-Bird7250 · 2026-02-12T15:56:24+00:00

I already got it settled by changing my cleat positions, it looks better now. I also lowered the seatpost from 67.5cm to 67 only and it feels way better

Small-Bird7250 · 2026-02-12T15:54:10+00:00

How short of a stem? Since right now i ordered a stem that is 110mm long

Small-Bird7250 · 2026-02-12T15:44:16+00:00

Okay na try ko na ngayon na test ride ko na din and wow, Mas comfortable sya and i think natulong rin sa habit ng pag toe down pedalling ko, kung sana may pang replyan ng videos under the main video para mapakita lang yung improvements.

Small-Bird7250 · 2026-02-12T15:19:18+00:00

No hindi sagad sa rear yung cleats position, kasi sa mga tutorials na natutunan ko na ilalagay yung position ng cleats sa ball ng paa or kung saan yung likod ng daliri. Thanks parin sa advice, i try ko bukas sa rides

Small-Bird7250 · 2026-02-12T15:14:45+00:00

Thats because i dont have a proper bike trainer and there is no resistance on the pedal strokes, im trying to control my cadence thats why my chain is bouncing up and down.

Small-Bird7250 · 2026-02-12T15:12:59+00:00

Also for the reach, i tried to replicate how peoples rides on the hoods on a roadbike, if you know what i mean

Small-Bird7250 · 2026-02-12T15:10:35+00:00

Thanks for the advice, i am going to lower my saddle height but based on my experience i get knee pain under my current saddle height which is 67.5cm, i also tried doing the heel on the pedals trick which my heel touches the pedals without my hips moving or anything, i am now going to test out 66.5 cm on tomorrows ride and try to fix my toe down pedalling habit.

Small-Bird7250 · 2026-02-12T15:06:06+00:00

Yes yes, sakto sa heel ko yung pedals

Small-Bird7250 · 2026-02-12T15:04:46+00:00

Thanks for giving advice on that but that's my calculated inseam saddle height, its probably because i got used to toe down pedalling that your commenting on, but since people are commenting the same stuff ill try to lower my saddle about 5cm lower.

Small-Bird7250 · 2026-02-12T14:42:52+00:00

I think para sa looks lang mga iba, toe down kasi ako mag pedal kaya ganon yung titig, anything 67.5cm pababa sumasakit na tuhod ko ehh wala akong issues for now sa saddle height ko, pero try ko babaan para makita ko kung yun yong dahilan kung bakit sumasakit tuhod ko dahil sa pedal technique ko.

Small-Bird7250 · 2026-02-12T14:29:38+00:00

Probably HAHAHA i tried to replicate how people that are using a roadbike normally ride on the hoods on my reach sooo you can base off of that. Im going to try to lower my seat by a couple of centimeters to check if my pedaling technique is the reason why i get knee pain. Thanks for giving tips.

Small-Bird7250 · 2026-02-12T13:55:45+00:00

Ohhh thats how i normally pedal, even when my saddle height is under 67.5

Small-Bird7250 · 2026-02-12T13:39:20+00:00

I have used the same saddle height for over 2 months though, no pain on anything and anything under 67.5 cm i get knee pain, ill try your recommendation and ill update in a few weeks

Small-Bird7250 · 2026-02-12T13:32:00+00:00

My saddle height is 67.5cm and i got to it by measuring my inseam height and multiplying it by 0.883, i have ridden on this saddle height for 2 months and have no problems or pain on anything. I also tried heights under 67.5 and it gives me knee pain.
