My right knee started acting up so I caved and got a fit when minor height increases didn't help. While a huge improvement which accommodates 19 years of declining flexibility, is this sensible?


Some how I sunk my saddle a little over an inch over the last few years starting around Lemond's .883 x inseam length (30" pants leg, 32" cycling inseam last I checked, 81cm suggesting 72cm high) and needed to rotate from flat to nose up to stay comfortable. This has me an inch higher than that (74.3) which seems high but felt OK on a short 20 mile ride.

The platform I rode on rotated for different camera angles and presumably contributed to a noticeable wobble I don't have on solid ground.
