  • Knee angle: with the pedal at the bottom, your knee should be bent 25–35° (almost straight, never locked).
  • Heel test: with your heel on the pedal at the bottom, your leg is straight without your hips rocking.
  • Steady hips: if your hips rock side to side as you pedal, the saddle is too high.
