Thanks for the response and info. I have known that I am hamstring/glute dominant long before I got into cycling due to years of weightlifting and collegiate track and football. I threw that in there referring to the hamstring involvement with hip extension on the downward pedal as oppossed to the its involvement with knee flexion on the upward pull. I know my body but I really am just guessing as it pertains to cycling and whether or not a higher seat is more suited to my natural strengths and tendencies. If I understand correctly, lowering the seat will cause the knees to track over the toes further resulting in more quad involvement. Thanks again.
