Johnny Lawless Posted May 30, 2016 Posted May 30, 2016 Can't believe I'm posting this, but life is weird. My new steed (the big plastic one, the other's my son's).IMG_20160521_172511.jpgAnd?You take it for a ride yet or just been staring at it?
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted May 31, 2016 Posted May 31, 2016 smaller.jpgSaddle angle intentional? Dig the new wheels, BtW.
Headshot Posted May 31, 2016 Posted May 31, 2016 smaller.jpgI see your problem with the fork steerer length  - your seat is several cm higher than mine.  Myles, that seat angle is brilliant on climbs - my seat post does't allow me to get nearly as much of an angle on mine...

Also Kulhavy's reasoning. Will try it. And yeh - Adam needs a super high rise bar. That or a mondraker zero stem, but not zero.

That or a mondraker zero stem, but not zero. dont overthink the seat angle, its just what i find comfortable, anything flatter puts pressure in the wrong places and doesnt feel right. i think if i were more normally proportioned, and my fork had an uncut steerer so i could run my bars higher the seat would be flatter.
BSG Posted May 31, 2016 Posted May 31, 2016 smaller.jpgSorry for my stupidity, why is that seat post so high?
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted May 31, 2016 Posted May 31, 2016 Sorry for my stupidity, why is that seat post so high?Cos he has the world's worst leg to torso ratio.
BSG Posted May 31, 2016 Posted May 31, 2016 Cos he has the world's worst leg to torso ratio.Yeah thought so after I read further on [emoji85]

Or just strong torso muscles
