Synchronicity

[Ewoud Dronkert]

Rasmussen and Basso can apply for a spot on the Australian pursuit team:

But how about those very different body-thigh angles. Am I
right in thinking Rasmussen's parallel to the ground is
the anomaly?

This question would be better suited to rec.bicycles.tech.

It's hard to tell from the angle the shot is taken from,
but it sort of looks like Basso has already gone a few
degrees past TDC, while Rasmussen is about the same
behind it. Plus it kind of appears that Rasmussen has a
little bit more angle on his left ankle (his heel
appears higher), both of which might make his thigh to
body angle seem more acute than Basso's. But it is
pretty hard to tell.

I certainly couldn't pedal like that. Maybe his seatpost
slid down.

Your message fills a much needed gap.

I think the thigh should be parallel to the ground at
that point.

I think many tend to have their seat too high, including
some elites.

A little bit too-high saddle probably doesn't affect
power, but probably does affect comfort and may lead to
lower back pain.
