Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Seat Angle?
Hi guys I'm finding it almost impossible to get the allen screw off the bottom of the seat where I would adjust the angle . . . any suggestions and is that even the right spot?

It depends on the rider and what he thinks feels best.

Try riding with the saddle level from the top of the nose to the back. Then try it tilted forward. Then try it tilted backward.
