After that, I think I felt like I was sliding off the front--which led to me sliding the saddle back.<BR/><BR/>In all honestly, this goes back to my problem with normal single-bolt seatposts. (Or, ratcheting seatposts, as I like to call them.) I can't really fine-tune the saddle pitch like I'd like to. <BR/><BR/>Today's ride probably felt so good just because I got the saddle back to where it should be.Jonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15352140534823209292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8087197.post-1150746613549140502006-06-19T13:50:00.000-06:002006-06-19T13:50:00.000-06:00I'm not sure I want to ride with you any more. I ...I'm not sure I want to ride with you any more. I keep reading these posts about how you should be hurting, but aren't. Well, buddy, some of us are still hurting!<BR/><BR/>On a side note, don't use saddle position to adjust reach. Get your sweet wife to measure from your knee to your pedal and adjust your saddle so that your knee is over your pedal spindle, or thereabouts. <BR/><BR/>Also, make small changes. If you need your saddle back 1/2-inch, move it back in smaller chunks every other ride or so until you reach where you want to be.Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02831020497002806444noreply@blogger.com
