Oh really? Do I need to spell everything out for you?
YOU said:
back you quote. my 50cm Kilo gives me a 1/2-1" clearnce. I do ride more up right on this bike. with flat bars I use a 120mm stem. To get to my optimal position, I need 140mm stem! Next size Kilo, TT right but ZERO stand over. Track geo and higher BB force more riders to go a size down.
But at least you've finally acknowledged your mistake.
What did the video say that you said? Nothing!!!! You can tell form that picture he was too low? Wow, you amazing! Can you tell me the Powerball Numbers as well?
That video is just basic stuff and I did not need it! I mentioned what saddle height should be without watching it and I was right! READ what I said and LISTEN to the video. Same comment. about saddle height.
Possibly. Depending on the riders anatomy, angle HT length etc. Soo many factors it not funny.
Most people I know that ride SEVERAL types of bike from different brands do NOT end up n the same sizing. Like me. I will ride a small horizontal TT frame and a larger compact. Most riders will have the same experience.
Again I never said EVERY rider will have to size down for EVERY Track frame. But many will it BB height will effect SO that does not make them comfortable. Again putting words in my mouth.
This also lends to why most riders on their FG have stem that are too short. They sized down because of SO and their effective cockpit is too short.
Like I said the first time. I left out may: " Track geo and higher BB may force more riders to go a size down." Is this everyone?
Get lost!
Well it seems you know everything about bikes then.
This was not a case of "needing" to watch it, but rather realizing exactly "what" you were arguing against.
If you said that was basic stuff, why do you reject it/my suggestion?
Hey, I'm not psychic, but compared to my riding form, his form is way different in the photo. But you would've known that, since you don't need to watch anything!
You're just going to blindly assume everyone is wrong and you're right because you don't "need" to hear what others say.
Your limitless knowledge really amazes me. Which then leads me to question why you are still on these forums when you could be publishing books!
