Saddle Height Bike Fit Tip - dial it in to the mm

This quick bike fit tip about saddle height was really highlighted by this client and so i thought I would share it with you all.https://youtu.be/IhcTPhERGiIThis rider is an elite level collegiate cyclist and was having trouble not feeling fully attached to his bike.  Here's how he looked before we made any changes -- not bad, right? He doesn't look uncomfortable, his pedal stroke seems pretty smooth. But when I looked at him out of this sagittal plane and when we measured him with the infrared system it became clear more was going on. But I want to focus on his cleats, saddle height, and saddle pressure. His saddle pressure started like this:We moved his cleats back in order to effect a change in his ankle posture. To accommodate for this I lowered the saddle slightly since this adjustement effectively shortens the rider's legs and usually requires a saddle adjustment.Look what happened to his saddle pressure:He said it did feel different but only after I prompted him once I had seen the saddle pressure. To him it didn't feel tremendously different but rest assured after a couple hours on the bike he would have definitely noticed.So I lowered his saddle a little more -- just a couple millimeters -- and here is what his saddle pressure changed to:When I made the initial saddle height correction with the cleat adjustment I didn't get it entirely correct until I lowered just those last couple millimeters and everything seemed to fall into place.So be careful when you're making these tweaks especially with your cleats and make sure you make the counter-adjustments correctly as well. This is one of the reasons I encourage people to write down their changes and keep a journal of sorts to track their symptoms and changes.
