Glad you're more comfortable, just keep working till you get the most effective 'fit'.
yea, the leg extension was perfect before. It just didn't feel good to my butt and wrists. I think I feel slower but it might just be an adjustment after riding 6 months with my saddle too high. I could raised my handlebars more but I don't want to. Right now it has a 25 degree rise...the adjustable stem goes up to 40 degrees, but I don't like how upright they are then.
I'll keep playing with the saddle height, though. I guess some people ride with saddles too low. I rode with it too high.
