Thanks, Masher. We’re trying to delve into things and get the thoughts going. This topic and the incredible discussion happening here in the comments has only stoked that fire more. There’s much to learn and discover!
You’re not alone with the seat feeling more in the way. I don’t have much info on it but anecdotally it seems to position in a manner that gets more in the way. It’s confusing because bringing it forward should make it easier to get behind it (not have to be as far back to do so) but the other changes in bike shape are planting us in between the wheels, having to deal with that pesky seat. I’ve been able to manage it by using longer drops, moving the seat lower and further away but it sounds like you may not be able to do that? What dropper post are you using?
