People keep saying a properly sized bike should allow for a fist length of seatpost, but then I it seems harder to pedal/mount and I have a terrible pain in my butt(the low quality seat doesn't help), but my arms feel comfortable. When I lower the seat post my pedaling is more natural but my arms don't seem to be anymore. Is there any way to resolve this or is the geometry of the frame just not for me? Can this be me used to a tiny 20'' bike and I just need to adapt to the new style of bike?
