I rode my club's century today and as I was toiling up a hill, a young triathlete sort on a plastic thing (the tubes were not even round!) came by me and he said "Sir, you might want to raise your seat a bit so you'll get more leverage." Unsolicited advice is so cool. My immediate thought was to tell him that I had been riding bikes since before he was born, but I've been trying to keep my mouth out of gear so I didn't say anything. But then I started thinking that back in the day, the rule of thumb, at least as it was passed down to me, was that when the pedal is in the 6 o'clock position, the knee should be very slightly bent. I've been doing that with every bike I've set up for lo these many years. Was that wrong? Has there been any progress in thinking on this subject? GeorgeS
