I have what I'm thinking is a dumb question in which I feel I know the answer, but I'd like to throw it out there just to make sure.
I, just as many riders, am very particular about my seat height. Personally if I'm making adjustments to my fit, I do it in small amounts (say up to 3mm at a time). I just purchased a new custom orthotic for my shoe and it is about an entire centimeter thicker then my old non-custom insert. Fortunately, my foot still fits comfortably in my shoe.
My question is, "If I put a custom orthotic insole into my shoe that raises my foot from the bottom of the shoe by a cm, should I not raise the seat height by a cm as well to compensate for the shorter pedal reach?"
In my mind, adding that orthotic is the same as shortening my cranks....
