What a soothing voice, after he fits the bike for me, i want him to read a book so i can go to sleep.

I am very impressed with the meter and tone of the presenter's speech. This was very professional and easy to understand. The chalkboard style was very useful.

Feels like im being taught a bike fit by Bob Ross, happy little stems and happy little saddle heights :)

For someone who knows nothing about road bikes this video I found most useful and easy to follow and I looked at many. Thanks

I've been looking into road bikes for a while now and this video has helped me the most thus far! Now I feel like even though I have never ridden a road bike in my life, i can walk in as a smart and confident consumer. Thanks for this helpful video!

i have recently gotten into cycling and was not fitted to my scott cr1 by the shop. so i have to master my fit on my own. after scouring the internet, i came across this video. it fully explains the (in plain english) how to be fitted to a road bike. and, the guy with the video camera actually points the camera at what you are talking about. sweet video, thanks for the help. i feel comfortable on my bike already.

This was far most the best road bicycle fit video .

Wow, who would've thought Sam Roberts knew so much about road-bike fitting?? Awesome vid!

An excellent and clear presentation.Too many presenters try to show off their knowledge;this guy just tries to impart his. Well done.

I play this every night before I go to bed with a warm glass of milk. Seriously, good stuff...Thanks!

Super helpful for a Newbie...Thanks so much! This guy is the Bob Ross of Bicycling...

I play this each night before I go to sleep...Seriously, very informative, thanks!!

Great job. The clearest and friendliest video on bike fitting i've ever seen

Very knowledgeable and a relaxing voice. Perfect for meditation :)

This guy would make it in Hollywood! Great presentation with great voice! Thanks!

I really like Performance Bike. Good service, friendly/knowledgable staff and good prices.

I appreciate this. When I bought my bike, I was fitted to the size of the bike because of my near extreme height, but not to anything else. Now I believe I can make some adjustments that will make riding easier.

i really enjoyed listening to this. and watching. but mostly listening. your voice is very calming and made me feel comfortable hearing the information. thank you

Just unwrapped my first road bike and this is a great noob guide. Good work fella!

I was pissed about my bike not fitting. It still doesn't fit but this guys voice calmed my soul.

Thats a simple but fantastic video which is probably going to save people in the range of 100 to 200 pound for a professional bike fit, just by watching this video!

I am so amazed I returned an expensive mtn bike last year because it just did not feel good to ride. Wish that I and the sales staff would have known these simple ways to set up the bike Thanks

Great Video. Very comprehensive. The calm voice and concise language makes info easy to understand and quick to sink in. six out of five stars!

this video is trippin me out... the camera work.. the old school quality of video... this dude

love finding informative videos like this one, makes KZfaq worth using

hahaha. The most relaxing voice I've ever heard on planet earth. Brilliant.

Thanks, just what I was looking for. Ничего себе, искал видео о правильной посадке, нашёл наконец, и это видео , снятое ровно 8 лет назад, ну, один день разницы. Вроде, не так давно, и не очень много событий, но, например, 8 лет с 2000-го - это много. О, сравните 1996 год с 2004 - пипец как много изменилось же! Опять же, посчитайте, какой год будет через восемь лет, и удивитесь))

performance bike rocks. This really helps, especially if you are a newbie! Thanks guys.

Best Tutorial on the web! GJ! Hey performance... hang on to Christopher... he's gold.

Yes, quite easily in fact. I'm 5'10" and weigh 300 pounds, and I prefer a road bike over a mountain bike. My road bike has an aluminum frame and aluminum 700x23c wheels, and it holds up to me pretty well.

Really like this bloke's advice, relaxed yet professional !

Great job with the explanation, and perfect verbal cadence for thorough comprehension. Thank You!

Don't understand the hate, this video was very informative and clearly delivered. Nice Job thanks.

I agree this is a good place to start. Some of the other videos on the same subject are less clear and less comprehansive than this one.

Love your voice - I could listen to you all day. Great info as well - nice and straight forward, just right for a newbie like me.

nice i loved the presentation , i am beginner and his advice opened up my eyes to things i would never notice

Nice job. Super informative. It gives cyclists somewhere to start with regards to sizing. Thanks for your time you put into the video. Well done.

Excellent advice! I'm going to keep this on my 'Watch Later' list, so when I get my road bike, I'll have the perfect reference video to make the fit just right! The *only* problem I can forsee, is that they only showed up to 6'1", and I'm 6'2". Oh well, I'll figure it out.

I had a pro bike fit recently and this is spot on. I only needed a few minor adjustments to saddle position, cleats and stem position but the difference it has made to my comfort, and my overall performance in only a few short weeks is remarkable.I'm definitely getting more forward prepulsion, with seemingly less effort from my new set up. So for anyone considering a bike fit i say go for it.

Didn't know Dave Grohl is a road bike expert! ;)

Thanks for posting Chris.Great information,especially determining the stem length as I have never heard that one before.Unbelievably I had a bike made for me and even though I am 5' 10 they fitted 175mm crank arms

Great info. I now know a lot move about the fit of my bike. I will make some adjustments to hopefully improve the feel & performance of my bike. Thanks.

This is a great video! Very well shot, edited, and executed. And this guy really knows his stuff. Thank you!

I actually understood what this guy said. Always a plus...

simple, direct to the point, clean and clear instruction. many thumbs upppp..

omg!!! I love Chris! He's so soothing and awesome! It's amazing that 5mm on the crankarm can make such a difference.

Massive help, I'm a novice and this is a great place to start from!

the best bike fitting video in my opinion :)

I was always taught that to determine stem lenghth that your hands were supossed to be in the drops when looking down to see where the bar is in relation to the hub. It seems to work better for me to do it this way. You can do it either way depending on how low and stretched out you like to be.

Very good video! Note that on step 3 he displays "behind" but talks about "in front"... was a bit confusing for a beginner like me :-)

Nice info. Didn't know there was so much more info then the bend in the knee so there's no hyper extension and the seat height to be proper so the hips don't rock. Lots of useful great info. Thanks, I want to get a new road bike soon like a trek 3.1 madone, also looking at specialized or even cannondale road bikes.

Great info explained in a way that road cycling newbie dummies like me can understand. Thank you!

Thanks, All the information you needed without getting to complicated.

Thank you for creating a video without the usual nonsense most KZfaqrs upload.

Nice video; thank you. People should remember to make very small & separate changes. If you change both your saddle position fore and aft at the same time as your saddle height, you can't isolate the effects of the change. Do them separately. For example, I moved my saddle forward in two 4 mm increments after changing to a Specialized Romin saddle (which I recommend).

Presenter is like a Zen Master on Valium. Good advice too.

dude has a very chill voice... oh and good information too!

This guy should totally have a radio show.

His voice.... he's like the Bob Ross of cycling. Happy trees!

Just what I've been looking for - a simple yet thorough guide to set up. Thanks!

You have such a magically calm and warm voice, you should record audiobooks :)

Great video! And very...calming. Ironic for such fast bikes.

This is really a good video. Been riding a long but maybe I should rethink my bike fit. Got to be comfortable on the bike. Knee over pedal axel super advise.

Comprehensive & informative. Very helpful to see this. Thanks.

Great introduction to all the bike jargon. Thanks

This guy could explain my impending doom in gory detail and I would be completely comforted and very well informed.

Agreed. Very soothing and articulate.

Good info. Dude sounds like the Bob Ross of cycling. "Happy Little Trees as you go flying by on your bike."

This guy is the truth, and the truth will set you free.

I love how relaxed he looks :O one day I hope to achieve that level of calmness.

Thanks for posting. Nice, practical, calming and informative video!

best video ever on this argument. Thank you Christopher!

thanks so much you are like the "Bob Ross" of bicycles thnx

Nice video. I'd like to see a mention of the availability of cranks up to 220mm though and frames with higher BB's for taller riders.

Great video! It was really helpfull. Only when you show the angle that your downward leg makes when adjusting the saddle height,you're showing a different angle that is not 10-20 degrees. You meant the angle between the under leg and the vertical.

I listen to this when I go sleep...very soothing

Excellent video. Very informative & helpful information. Thanks very much for posting it!

Brilliant .. Thats made it soo much clearer..

Nice reminders on the fundies of bike fit.

that's it! straight forward, plain and painless!!

fantastic video for me as a beginner... thank you

Great and simple presentation. Exactly the kind of information I was looking for. Thank you.

Yeah agreed this is a very good video / tutorial for anyone looking for insight kmowledge to set up thier bike.

Really helped me out a lot. Thanks!

Cheers bud, my and the mrs's bike r now sorted.

"Hi, my name is christopher.." hehe, you're all right concerning his voice. AND.. You're right, the tutorial is very good! THANKS, performancebike

Appreciate you posting this a really useful tool.

Thank you for a great, clear and helpful video!

very helpful, good and clear instruction, thanks.

yes! one thing i've heard is larger people, me included, being 6'4 and 215 lbs should avoid ultralight frames/wheels

this guy is super chill

Thanks for advices. Mine is waiting for me before I get home and start riding it

He has a gentle voice huh? LOL

Sensible and useful advice without all the crap.

How chilled out are you!? Nice vid chap, many thanks, off to sort my cleats out!

I second the radio show suggestion, I'm sure that smooth voice can be put to good use in industries other than cycling...

Thanks for the great info. Would have never know about this if i didn't watch this vid

Hey Cris, MABUHAY! greetings from the Cebu City,Philippines. great video man. you enlighten me on my bike knowledge. i only have 1 question for you: IS THERE ANY PARTICULAR FITTING FOR TRIATHLON BIKE? Salamat Bai, paul

straight talk with no bulls**t very well done

I still think it's very odd looking how today's bike frames are so short and the top bar is short, giving the bike a very short wheelbase, and the stem is selected to give you the correct stretch. The frames also put the seat higher than the handlebars which isn't so great for older less flexible riders because the handlebars generally are still no higher than the top bar. Also the seat post extension seems extremely long, and needs to be, to get the proper leg extension, but for a heavier rider is not as stable as a bike that simply has a larger frame. It's the older standard that works for me, an older guy. I fail to understand the logic of a super short seat tube and a towering seat post.
