That's true 531, but all dropping your seat is going to accomplish is to make your hip angle a lot smaller as well as increase your knee bend at the top of the pedal stroke. Both these things hurt power, why would you want to do this?
I like to be high on the bike, and I was pretty much as high as I could go on my 175s, so, even though I slid my saddle forward a bit (it was already kinda on the forward side), I
had to drop my saddle about 5mm when I got the 180s, otherwize I was stretching down too far and hurting my hamstrings (I was stewing over this through my whole ride tonight
).
