Hi All,
I recently built up a new bike that I have been using quite a bit
lately. In transfering some of the parts, it seems I goofed on the
seat height, and put the saddle about 3cm lower than I thought I did.
This bike is very comfortable, and now that I have discovered this low
seat height, I have decided to adopt this new mutation onto my other
bikes.
The thing is, this seat height is 2-3cm lower than some of the online
calculations I've seen, and as many as 8cm(!) lower than for example
the competitivecyclist calculator.
I'm sticking with my "ride lots" and "if the shoe fits" non-scientific
game plan here, but I'm interested to hear what effects folks think
having a lower than normal seat height might have.
