Again, you are clueless if you think different bikes, geo and they way people are built with not affect what frame they buy. I never saidSO is the most important thing to look at when buying a bike. I said you can always go just by TT length or ST like you emntioned. Fro some pepole, SO is important. If you have short legs and a long torso, you think TT is the only factor? Yes, get a clue.
Are you really this illiterate? Since I've been quoting all your contradictions, why don't you start with something called
PROOF, or find where I said that it
doesn't matter.
Do you really think everyone has such a different bike that sizing would be
so much different? Is it because all designers have their own little magical invention room to follow their own creative geometries that aren't even similar?
So is it safe to say, again, that
most (meaning a
majority, dimwit) people here either ride generic "track" Taiwanese frames or road conversions?
And how drastically different a geometry would those bike designers follow? How about a 90 degree st and ht angles? Jesus christ are you totally insensitive to reality and who members are here and what they ride?
Oh yeah we're all hipsters and "run red lights and stop signs" with no brakes! You want me to prove your stupid attitude since your first post to "help"?
Sees like most of you guys never road a bike before your tarck bikes and have zero idea about fit. Too many hipsters using 70mm stems and all crunched up. But you look cool, right?
I guess you run lights and stop signs. No brakes?
and look what I just noticed:
Really? Most frames? some bikes it can make a big differnce.
Last time I checked, All - Most = Some
That I know. How many people here with there Kilos and other short TT people have them because they are clueless with fit and think it "looks cool?"
I think that's enough of your "compliments" and "advice".
And only you info is correct??
wow, If I were you I'd go back to school and learn something called
GRAMMAR and
READING
I am simply giving information based on my experiences and research with fit, and so far I've had no injuries or uncomfortable rides.
Although I doubt I'm 100% right 100% of the time, I can back up my advice with experience and reasons, whereas all your tips have no real proof.
I never said his saddle was too high duma$$! I said to look up experts Dr. Andy Pruitt and Paul Swift of Bike Fit. No, I am not an expert but learning about fit more and more everyday.
You just love contradicting yourself don't you?
Nope I did not view it. I am going by what the top experts recommended. Having you seat to high or too low can also lead to injuries. Having a saddle too high like you recommend can and will lead to injuries. Even JRA. But again everyone is different.
Just going by your attitude. Yet you the one that has given zero real info about fit. None. You the one starting insults. Who didn't get their bottle today?
From the above comments you made, we can see you lack something called
proof and
citation, which is something you obviously don't understand, and is enough to see who started insulting whom first.

The video is good. Like he said, a good starting place and baseline. Like I said.
Oh, you'll change your position now won't you? Agree with something you rejected earlier?
TomoIshi's quoted video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FAl_5...eature=related
was the same as the first video I posted:
The end result would be a raised platform for your saddle, to accommodate the short seattube (b/c of your frame size), your whole body moved slightly forward, so you will have more power on the cranks, and with a longer stem, an extended position for your torso.
This video should explain this more in depth:

Hope this helps.
I'd love to hear what you have to say now, especially since the OP said my advice has made a more comfortable ride

and TejanoTrackie's years of experience suggests it is works.

So after all this, you've been going around in circles, then contradicting yourself, then on with the insults. So this time maybe start straight up with some facts?
If it doesn't kill you, I'd suggest you start reading and coming up with PROOF. You might have to look up what that means, but I'm sure with your intelligence you'll find a way.
