Giovanni does not mention what kind of bike he has so this is a little difficult to answer. Usually bouncing is due to spinning too fast (usually >120 rpm for most recreational riders), or “stabbing” at the pedals. Without seeing how you ride, this is difficult to answer. Also, I see more people bouncing with saddle heights that are too high.

Your seat position could be to high.Try lowering your seat just a little.Try having your seat top even just about with the height of your handle bars. I hope this help’s.

As it was suggested on the diagram, sit on your saddle, and be sure that your knee is slightly bent at an angle while you have your leg fully extended.
That is, the crank arm is perpendicular to the ground. Ff not you might have to raise or lower your saddle. also, your right leg, have the crank arm parallel to the ground, look at your knee. Is your knee align with your pedal? if you are too far ahead or too far back adjust your seat.Hopefully this 2 steps will help you with your saddle, this works for a road bike. Mountain bike may vary depending on what you ride. Sam

Hi.A basic method for getting the rioght saddle height is:1. Put your cycling shoes on2. Measure you inside len measurement from the floor to the crotch3. Multiple the measurement by 0.834. The result is tne height your saddle should be from the middle of the bottom bracket to the top of the seatI have been using this method when setting up bikes for a while and it works well – and relieved problems I was having with knee and back pain; I’ve not suffered since.

My saddle is not flat. When I put a level across the top of my saddle, it touches the nose and rear of the saddle but there is a very noticeable dip in the middle of the saddle. Should I measure saddle height to the lowest part of the dip or to the underside of the level? Alternatively, should I tip the saddle forward so that the nose and centre are at the same height but the rear is raised? Or, should I get a new saddle?
