Oh ok, let me ask you a very straightforward question.
Why would you post information that won't in any way answer the OP's question or help his situation? He clearly asked for help on fit, so you go and post something that is, like you said, IRRELEVANT to his situation?
Very helpful.
No I did not know everything about bikes. But I do clearly know more than you.
What more do you know exactly?
So far no one else here has disproved my suggestions to the OP, and in fact, have supported it or says it has helped.
I can't say the same about your "advice" (aside from others
not accepting it).
Sorry to burst your bubble.
Maybe you should go back to your little imaginationland where you know so GD much.
I don't need that video and form that photo you cannot his seat was too low. That's you uneducated guess.
Again to solidify my speculation and prediction from appearance , I ADDITIONALLY posted a video for him to confirm a correct fit.
I never suggested he solely follow my assumption.
If you say that's uneducated, that's your opinion, but if I predict that it is too bent, that's my opinion.
We can argue here all day but there is no wrong/right OPINION.
(and for the record, my speculation was in fact correct)
I never rejected you suggestions.I just rejected on how hight that the OP should possibly raise his post. You advice was basic. But you argued about SO and overall hit where you are full of useless info.
And where did I indicate a specific enough of a measurement for you to judge that it's "too high". How can you judge the "extent" without a specific value?
I try to help with what I know on this FG/SS board. In my observance, lots of newbies are here that never owned a properly fitting bike or only have any real knowledge of bikes in general.
Am I not doing the same?
You disagree with my speculation and opinion from the pic that his saddle height is too low. Now you say you don't reject it, but don't agree to the "extent" I have taken it.
I said:
1. Raising your saddle height.
(With the crankarm at 6 o' clock, your leg should be nearly straight, there should be a very slight bend.)
And you are to judge that because "slight bend" automatically means its not within the 15-25 degree range?
The video I provided explicitly states a 10-20 degree range.
Yet you didn't "need" to watch it to jump to insult our members here, imply your unlimited knowledge on bikes, and accuse me of giving "false" information.
Maybe you need to rethink your perspective on yourself and other people, and lose the narcissism as well as the "I'm better than everyone" attitude.
