Not sure about saddle position
I'm not so sure about my saddle position. When the pedal at 6 o'clock position and I extend my leg I can touch the pedal with the heel of my shoes. As you can see fro the second pic my knees doesnt align perfectly with the middle section of the pedal. I have seen many bike fitting videos and fitter always try to align it vertically. I pushed the saddle as forward as it gets within its limit and dont want to push more as it will put too much weight on my hands.
By the way my arms looks straight as I was trying to balance the bike against the wall and I had stiff neck. So I wasnt too relaxed there.
I dont have major issues when I cycle but I always try to improve.
My current issues are saddle sores after 1,5 hour riding. I have one bibs underwear I tried and it was very uncomfortable around the genitals area. I had to adjust all the times. I sometimes gets slight numbness on hands and foot but a little of bit position change and foot shaking will fix it. My left knee also hurts a little sometimes. As I dont use clits it may because of the position I put my foot on the pedal.
