The Most Important Joint for Cycling Performance Road Cycling Academy 2025-10-08 | Bike Fit Fundamentals: roadcyclingacademy.com/bike-fit-fundamentals Most cyclists have never heard of the sacroiliac joint (SI joint) — but according to expert bike fitter and physiotherapist Neill Stanbury, it might be the single most important joint for cycling performance.In this video, Neill breaks down:✅ What the sacroiliac joint (SIJ) actually is✅ Why pelvic torsion and asymmetry cause pain and power loss on the bike✅ How dysfunctional SI joints affect hip alignment and pedal stroke✅ The link between SI joint dysfunction, endurance, and injury risk✅ Practical steps to correct asymmetry and restore balancePain is the biggest limiter of cycling performance. When the SI joint becomes torsioned or jammed, it disrupts hip mechanics, forces compensations, and drains energy. Neill explains why this “small” joint has such a massive impact on your power, endurance, and comfort.If you’re struggling with cycling pain, hip instability, or recurring asymmetries, this video is a must-watch.#cycling #bikefit
Using Different Pedal Widths Road Cycling Academy 2025-10-07 | Sometimes the smallest changes make the biggest difference.

Choosing the Correct Road Bike Saddle (A Bike Fitters Method) Road Cycling Academy 2025-09-24 | Bike Fit Fundamentals: roadcyclingacademy.com/bike-fit-fundamentals ⸻Finding the right road bike saddle can feel impossible — but it doesn’t have to be.In this video, bike fitting expert Neill Stanbury takes you inside his studio process, showing exactly how he helps riders eliminate saddle pain and finally achieve comfort on the bike. Rather than guessing between endless saddle models, Neill demonstrates how bike fit fundamentals — from seat height and setback to cleat position, reach, and drop — have a bigger impact on comfort than the saddle design alone.Why saddle pain often isn’t the saddle’s faultMost riders blame the saddle when they experience numbness, chafing, or soft tissue pressure. But Neill explains that these issues often begin with an incorrect bike fit. Saddle tilt, crank length, hip rotation, and even handlebar drop all affect how your weight is distributed. Without addressing those basics, no saddle swap will solve the discomfort.Sit bone width and saddle shapeNeill demonstrates how to measure sit bone width, one of the most overlooked factors in choosing a road bike saddle. From there, he explains the importance of narrowing your options between narrow, mid-width, and wide saddles, and why a mismatch here can lead to chronic pain or loss of power.He also discusses how flat vs. curved saddles interact with different pelvic shapes. A flat saddle might feel great for a rider with more pelvic rotation, while a curved profile can offer much-needed support for those who ride with a more upright hip angle.The role of saddle cutouts and nose designCutouts aren’t just marketing gimmicks. According to Neill, most riders benefit from a saddle cutout because it reduces pressure on soft tissue and promotes blood flow. He also breaks down how nose length and taper influence comfort when climbing, sprinting, or riding in an aggressive aero position.Why trial-and-error is part of the processEven with perfect measurements, some level of trial-and-error is unavoidable — but it doesn’t have to be expensive. Neill shows why investing in a professional bike fit can actually save money compared to buying and reselling saddles endlessly.⸻What you’ll learn in the video: • Why correct bike fit (seat height, setback, cleat alignment, handlebar reach, and drop) matters more than the saddle itself. • How to measure sit bone width and use it to refine your saddle search. • The difference between flat vs. curved saddles and their effect on pelvic support. • Why most road cyclists benefit from a saddle cutout. • How to choose between narrow, mid, or wide saddles for comfort, power transfer, and injury prevention. • The reality of trial-and-error, and why a bike fitting session can shortcut the process.👉 Check out our full Bike Fit Fundamentals course here: [roadcyclingacademy.com/bike-fit-fundamentals]If you’ve wasted money on saddle after saddle, or if you’ve been suffering with saddle pain, numbness, or discomfort on longer rides, this guide will help you make informed choices and ride pain-free.⸻#cycling #bikefit #roadbike #saddlecomfort #bikefitting #sitbonewidth #roadcycling #saddlepain #cyclingcomfort #cyclingtips #saddleanalysis #cyclingperformance #cyclinglife #cranklength #cyclinginjuries #roadcyclinglife #cyclingtraining #pelvicsupport #cyclinghealth #cyclingposition #bikefittingtips #cyclingbiomechanics #bikefittingexpert #cyclingsetup #cyclinggear #cyclingfit

Why Inseam Measurement is Irrelevant (Bike Fitter Explains) Road Cycling Academy 2025-09-16 | Bike Fit Fundamentals: roadcyclingacademy.com/bike-fit-fundamentals 15% Off code (first 10 people): RCAYouTube15BFFIs inseam measurement really the key to finding your perfect saddle height? For decades cyclists have been told that multiplying inseam length by a formula (like the old LeMond method) will set them up correctly.But here’s the truth: inseam measurement for cyclists is unreliable.In this video, expert bike fitter and sports physiotherapist Neill Stanbury explains why inseam measurement doesn’t correlate with saddle height — and why experienced fitters no longer use it.You’ll learn:✅ What inseam measurement actually is✅ Why the inseam x 0.883 formula (LeMond method) is outdated✅ 5 reasons inseam measurement fails (anatomy, pelvic rotation, femur angle, soft tissue, saddle design)✅ The best way to set saddle height without inseamIf your bike fitter still bases saddle height on inseam, that’s a red flag 🚩. Performance, comfort, and injury prevention come from how your body moves on the bike, not a single number on a tape measure.#cycling #inseam

We Tested 4 Different Crank Lengths (& the winner is...) Road Cycling Academy 2025-09-03 | Online Bike Fit Program with Neill: roadcyclingacademy.com/bike-fit-fundamentalsCranks: https://elilee.com.au/x-novanta-full-carbon-cranks/Neill Stanbury has completed detailed power testing across multiple crank lengths — 155mm, 160mm, 165mm, and 172.5mm. The big takeaway? Changing crank length is never an isolated swap. It forces position adjustments across saddle height, setback, reach, and hip angle, and can dramatically alter your cadence, power output, and aerodynamic position What the testing revealedNeill ran a strict protocol in his clinic, repeating sprint and endurance efforts across each crank length. The results showed a clear trend:Peak sprint power increased with longer cranks, with around an 8–10% gain between 155mm and 172.5mm lengths. That’s a difference of nearly 70 watts in max output — a meaningful jump if you race crits or rely on short, explosive effortsLonger cranks also improved performance in 30-second max efforts, favouring riders who need raw torque and neuromuscular power.Shorter cranks, on the other hand, allowed Neill to ride more comfortably in an aero position, holding 1–1.5 km/h higher speeds at the same power on the road. This suggests that for time trialists and triathletes, the aerodynamic benefit may outweigh the small loss in max power.Zone 2 efficiency? Largely unchanged across crank lengths when measured by heart rate, but aerodynamics again became the deciding factor outdoors.The trade-offs riders need to considerCrank length isn’t about “short vs. long is better.” It’s about matching your body mechanics and event demands:Short cranks (155–160mm): Better for riders with limited hip mobility, shorter legs, or those chasing aerodynamic gains in time trials and triathlon. Require higher cadence and reduce burst acceleration in bunch rides.Mid-range cranks (165mm): A balance between cadence efficiency and torque, suitable for most road cyclists who want versatility.Long cranks (172.5mm): Stronger for sprinting, climbing at lower cadences, and maintaining bunch speed. Less aero and can increase pelvic rocking or discomfort for some riders .Neill’s verdict: there’s no one-size-fits-all crank length. Your goals (crit racing, Ironman, road racing), your body mechanics (hip mobility, leg length, cadence capacity), and your preferred riding style all determine which length works best.And stay tuned! A follow-up test with sprinter Craig Wiggins, who produces double Neill’s sprint power, will compare how different body types respond to crank length changes .#cycling #roadcycling #cyclingsetup #cranklength #bikefit #bikefitting #cyclingperformance #cyclingcomfort #cadence #poweroutput #cyclingposition #cyclingbiomechanics #saddleheight #cyclingtraining #cyclinggear #cyclingfit #aerodynamics #cyclinginjuries #roadbike #cyclingtips
