I need for a bike to stretch my leg from pedal to inside leg without much bend in knee. Most bikes don’t feel right and I have to adjust the seat up. Enthusiasts have argued that a slight bend is ideal. Opinion?

I aimed for a 10-15° leg bend at full extension for better power output and comfort. When I got into road cycling in 2020 I played around with it a lot, watched an absolute ton of videos on bike fit.

At the end of the day though whatever works for you and doesn't cause injury is right!
