Any idea how long I should try out a lower saddle position before I decide it's not going to work for me? Whenever I lower the saddle it feels like I can't really get any power down and my knees are cramped up. However I did notice that my glutes and hamstrings were more active with a lower saddle, and there was less discomfort.
Thanks a lot!
