James Wilson of Pedaling Innovations and MTB Strength Training Systems has a lot to say about this subject in his "Flat Pedal Revolution Manifesto: [https://www.bikejames.com/strength/the-flat-pedal-revolution-manifesto-how-to-improve-your-riding-with-flat-pedals/.](https://www.bikejames.com/strength/the-flat-pedal-revolution-manifesto-how-to-improve-your-riding-with-flat-pedals/.) He used to write pieces for NSMB, but I haven´t been able to find any articles concerning this topic. Maybe you have a better chance Andrew?
I've been riding arch over axle ever since reading the manifesto. I had to lower my saddle by a centimeter or so, but never thought about reach. Riding in Vans I think I prefer concave over convex, but don't have a lot of experience on the latter, only from riding my sons bike from time to time. Strange thing is, that my Vans are more fleksible than my Five Tens (Freerider & Impact) so I should feel the concave even more.
