Lock you adjustments down. Now put the ball of your foot on the pedal at the farthest extension, should net you a perfect knee bend angle..
Note: On Bents we don't have the option of powering down on the pedals with body weight so,, a slightly shorter set up may work for you,,,,,
Thanks for the help. I found the problem, it's not the crank length or the distance between the seat and the crank, it's the seat angle.
I did a little surgery and mounted the seat at more of an angle and found I could now pedal without any problems.
This little change allows the seat to recline more.
