Is this as I fear a top tube length too short, would another seat fix the problem, or do I just need to learn to STFU and deal with it? I've only got about 200mi on the bike so far so I'm definitely interested in your input. THANKS!
How far back are the saddle rails in the seatpost clamp? Is the nose of the saddle tilted up? Does your seatpost have any setback? How steep is your seat tube angle? What length stem are you using? There are a number of variables, so your best bet is to have your position checked out by a bike shop that has fitting experience. They should be able to set you up right.
The good news is, mountain bikes offer a fair amount of leeway, so you're not screwed if you didn't buy the EXACT right size.
