Dial in new bike the same as your old one.
Given a 1mm wedge in your shoe can have a massive impact clearly moving other bits by 5mm will have a significant influence on your comfort.

Yeah I got it as close as I could to the old bike but it's crazy to feel such a small difference. I guess now it's a case of getting my legs used to the slight change. I seem to remember Scherrit saying after my fit to take it easy for a couple of weeks and get my muscles used to the new position, but that was after a much more drastic change.

I've been fine-tuning the fit on my new bike, tried to get it pretty much identical to the old one.
I was finding my arse and outside of my thighs were a little sore and felt the arse muscles were getting... Tired? When previously they didn't really seem to be up to much.
Anyway, over the course of this week I've moved the saddle back about 5mm and down about 5mm and the arse pain has disappeared and my right knee seems to be tracking straighter but I feel as weak as a sodding kitten. Everything's getting knackered quickly. Do I need to give it a bit of time? How can a tiny adjustment have such a big effect?
