I took a few days off, lowered my saddle by 5mm and lowered the saddle nose to where it is pictured now. I took a short 11 mile ride today, and the saddle feels....OK, but now I've developed some slight knee pain on my right leg (pain that goes over the kneecap top to bottom), I "think" the 5mm saddle drop is too much, I think I'm going to try the saddle at the angle it is now, but raise it back up to where I originally had it.
Holy 1x drive train 😮. What is the largest cog on the cassette? Granted, I live in the dark ages of bike tech, but I don’t think I have ever noticed something like that before.
