Have you ever had a bike fit?
I had no idea that's what spacers were for. I thought having multiples was just styling
How critical is stand-over height? I’m 161cm with an inseam of 73cm and finding bikes that I want to buy and meet the above is difficult. I love the Canyon Grizl but the suspension option is not available in smaller sizes so I’m limited to a non-suspension option.
Manon rocks!!
What is the difference between bike fit on road bike and gravel bike? Can I just use the set-up on my road bike?
manon cutiepie

If you've got that many head tube spacers….you're on the wrong bike
We tackled assembling the bike as a family project. https://www.youtube.com/post/Ugkxzg0clhbtRf2gGxPkVETFKJJKGqdsorQu The package is heavy, but I have 2 teen boys that were able to move it. The written instructions were great- we didn't need to watch the videos, but it was good knowing that the option was there if we needed it. After we were able to get it set up, the boys each rode 3 miles and I rode 8 and the bike stayed quiet. The display is easy to reset, and you can put it on whichever setting you are using (time, distance, calories, etc). I will say that my butt is a little sore from the seat, but that could be because I haven't rode in a while. While it is comfortable for me, it was not comfortable with the seat position for my friend (could not move the seat back far enough and he slightly looked like a kid riding a tricycle that he had outgrown). He also said that the seat hurt his manly parts. We are going to look for a different seat that will be compatible with this bike for him.I did purchase the Wahoo Cadence sensor and strapped it to the crank of one of the pedals. This will sync with my Apple Watch, iPhone and will import data in to my Health app. Wahoo does have other sensors available other than cadence. I can also keep either my phone or my iPad on the display and they both feel pretty secure.
I’m enjoying the bike so far https://www.youtube.com/post/UgkxMesz3KOGEmwmvyKQfLfrRSUXLFzfVHZA My only real complaints are the brakes and the pedals. I feel like a bike designed for bigger people should have much larger pedals and more heavy duty brakes. I’ve only gotten two really good rides out of it, minimal downhill action, and the brakes feel like they’re already going out. A larger person has more momentum, so I think this wasn’t thought through very well. Also, I wear size 13-14 wide shoes. My feet cramp up on these pedals that are clearly made for smaller feet. Since I’m not a pro rider (and I don’t think many are who purchase this bike) I don’t think that the straps on the pedal are necessary at all. None of this takes away from the enjoyment I get from riding, however. I’ll just head to a bike shop to improve on a few things.
Hello, I have been active in bicycle communities for the last 35 years, and having fit many people I have a few suggestions you may wish add to a future video. Women have a more difficulty with bike fit for two reasons. First, because majority of new bikes are sold to men, the bikes come with men's saddles and men's stems. The solutions to this are to install a women's saddle, and a stem that is vertically tall and horizontally short, thus bringing the back and arms into a more comfortable position. Depending on the individual I may suggest a different width handlebar and a different length crank arm set. Each individual has three own needs. The second problem is that finding a someone who understands women's bike fit can be difficulty to impossible task. I think this is something that has to be addressed industry wide, and not just one or two random shops. Being that you make videos about bike fit, I suggest a video to help women properly set up their bikes, and hopefully this will be watched by some bike business people as well.

It would be great to see a comparison between a bike fit by a professional like @Phil Burt and compare it with an AI powered online bikefit MyVeloFit.
diagrams help. This way does this…. That way does the other…. Maybe provide a Summary and cheat sheet.
