so im looking into my fit, as per the problems ive described here before. but i need to know a bit about saddle setback, ive read as much as ive come accross. but. what exactly does it do, muscle wise? i have 9.6cm of setback and about an 80cm bb to seat height. with long femurs, i get fit by those serotta guys like this.
yet, how can someone like wiggins (since i saw his bike on cyclingnews), who undoubtedly has long legs, have close to no set back (his seat is jammed forward on an integrated seat post), i guess he is known for his pursuiting abilities.
i think i may have too much setback, as my glutes and then hamstrings start to hurt when im on the hoods in that jens voigt-esque power position for my intervals.
so what exactly does saddle setback do.
