Proper fit begins by correctly locating the engine - your legs. So we need to locate the correct position of the saddle relative to the cranks. The factors which influence the saddle position are upper and lower leg length, foot length, hip and knee joint structure, pedalling style (are you a spinner or masher, ankling-foot angle) all in conjunction with your personal nuances and asymmetries. Sounds like a lot, but it's really very simple if you take it a step at a time.
Step 1. Check foot position first
The ball of the foot should be properly positioned over the pedal axle. With the pedal in the 3 o'clock position and the foot held at the appropriate angle, the ball of the foot (outermost protrusion on the inside front of your foot) should be directly over the pedal axle. Adjust your cleats appropriately.
