Whats a good rule of thumb for seat height? Ive rode with it low enough for my feet to almost be flat on the groundwhile sitting still. It was good when I was resting, but it tired my legs fast. I then raised it to where my legs were almost fully straight when the pedal was all the way down and it gave me better leg power as I was able to use a full leg push and range of movement and didnt tire as fast. I could also stand up if needed and be off the seat. But I was on my tip toes when stopped and was real uncomfortable. I think my bike is just to big for me. But if not whats a good rule to follow?
