A centimeter can make a huge difference. YEARS ago (20?), I was assisted with fit on my bicycles. During that fit procedure, my saddle was RAISED a saddle. For the first several rides it felt terrible as things got stretched out a bit and I began using different muscles. BUT, eventually it did feel better. Had the recommendation to raise my saddle not come from someone with so much experience and a paid fitting, I might have thought to move the saddle back to where I had it.
It's tough to get SOME people to consider making a change in their positioning. I see a lot of people with saddles too high, seats covered with saddle covers and complaining about comfort despite the rocking and grinding of hips into a saddle. I also see people plodding along with saddles too low complaining of knee pain. Approaching the topic of making a recommendation for change can be delicate. As for my own bicycles, I do as others and set saddle height based on measurement. I have two different pairs of cycling shoes and have to change the saddle height a couple of millimeters to compensate for riding in my sandals if I am going to do a "long" ride. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
