Bouncing arund in the saddle

Posts: 180
Can anyone tell me how I can set my bike up so I don't bounce around so much at full pelt? I've finally got my cleats dialled in, and my bars at the right angle, but when trying to get a good spinning cadence going (105-120rpm) I seem to jiggle around in the seat a lot more than I do on my MTB. Anyone got a solution for this?
Oh and if it makes a difference, my saddle is the Selle Italia XO Transam that came with my Ribble Winter trainer.

Why such high RPM? you only really need to be around 80-90 on the flat stuff. That might explain it.0

It's a hangover from my MTB being singlespeed, anything under 95 feels slow and horrid to me.0

You're gonna have to replace the legs too... Well, 120rpm may be a shade high, but right now your muscle corporation just needs to improve and it will. In time it'll be second nature. 8) Also, have you checked the seat height to see if it's a shade low???0

As for muscle corporation, is that because I am using a road bike and not my normal MTB? I am assuming it's got to be something with saddle height / position or saddle type? I usually have my MTB saddle so that it's raised to the height of my leg straightend with my heel on the pedal. My road saddle is slightly higher than that, but otherwise set up in a similar way.0
