@ TNT and velo. Why don't you stick to roadie and 29er threads rather?

Because there is no law against having your saddle tilted ... and if you put the bike onto a 20 deg slope facing downhill the saddle will be level .... hahaha

 

 

Just shows you, with all the rules, road riders are the toughest.

Sorry? I'm not allowed to ask a valid question? Take your thread and shine it up real nice and shove it then why don't you?

5. tall dude from NZ.. what the hell's his name again.

 

 

 

 

Is his saddle high cause he's tall, high cause it works, or low cause he's a wannabe?

They weren't valid questions. You are just trying to be a jackass. Mission accomplished there.

ok children ... no fighting now ... TNT1 did ask a vaild question ( but then lost it with the "who's the most hardcore ore whatever" remark) - but i dont know of any UCI rules in road either that stipulate that your seat has to be level ... ?????

 

Cus some road guys run it tilted slightly forward ... especially in Timetrial ...

Gee, lucky you know all the rules governing all forms of cycling. You must be a real bundle of fun at parties.

 

Maybe I shouldn't have asked about the seats level thing here, but it seemed sort of appropriate, and gee, look at that, someone with their head not in their bum answered me. One day I'll be as knowledgeable as you.

 

Until then, I'll ask. OK?

I spoke to Gracia's mechanic in PMB, his seat was high, but he uses a dropper post for pedally courses like yours Nigel. I think he had a Reverb.

they're not allowed to anymore, new ruling since TDF this year or something, which is why I asked.

I took offense to the dope smoker remark. I'm sorry. I'm a bit over sensitive. I've been in Nigeria for 2 weeks so my sense of humor is already at the airport waiting for the flight back home

[nigelhicks]

its low for how tall he is
