Wondering if everyone here has drunk the Koolaid with regards to steep STA?
My Primer is my steepest STA at 76 degres not-sagged. I put a new seat on today and figured I'd try it further forwards on the rails. I hated it for everything except riding up steep road. On technical sections I found I felt perched on top of the bike and had too much weight on my hands and lost maneuverability. I struggled with all the tight corners and slippery roots. I figured it was because I was post call but mid ride I slammed the seat back and voila, I was riding like a champ again. I also found it rubbed my legs uncomfortably while descending. When I put it back, the seat got out of the way when dropped rather than having the fattest part of the saddle right between my knees.
For me, I think 74-75 degress is the sweet spot. On really steep ass climbs I have to really get low or out of the saddle but the bike handles better for me overall. Wondering what STA you all actually prefer?
