Good luck |

May 22, 2003 5:19 AM | | since I climb in the saddle, I like a forward position so I can sit on the nose. On road bikes, I position my saddle pretty much all the way back,go figure. Is cushion from your couch stuffed under that saddle cover? It looks pretty plush. |
| yeah, it's plush... | Jimmy Hoffa
May 22, 2003 6:56 AM | | ...but I wear shorts that don't have thick padding, that would be overkill. |
| no problem... | logbiter
May 22, 2003 5:34 AM | | That's the way I run my saddles, and that's WITH a setback post. *says man w/ a long torso*
the only problem might be if you try to clamp a part of the rail where it isn't straight.
If you decide you want a setback post, I can recommend raceface & the '03 ea-70 easton post.
I had problems with the raceface about 3 times on my hardtail when I'd come down really hard on the rear of the saddle and the XY clamp would slip and saddle tilted up, but I might have broken rails otherwise. |
