Heat Training Risks, Cramping, Losing Fitness and More – Ask a Cycling Coach 217

Adding to the saddle comfort discussion, improved saddle comfort is the #1 result from those that have added a rocker plate to their inside setup. The simple addition of lateral freedom allows for more shifts between the support structure of our bodies. It also leads to lower pressure overall on our support structure and tissue, as shown in my pressure mapping test last year.

There is nothing “natural” about locking our bikes in a vertical plane and I feel it leads to a significant number of people disliking inside training (as hinted at above).

You can see my thread for more details and questions. Here is the video on saddle pressure mapping without rockers and with rockers of different leveling spring force.
