That's a good idea to lock the seat suspension. I don't think I use it much, and honestly I'd rather maintain a more accurate seat position. This is the first bike I've ever had with a suspension like this. It does give me a sort of "living room sofa with a beer and the remote" kind of feel. I don't know if it robs me of any pedalling power, except when it bounces the seat height far enough out of whack that I can't pedal properly.
Hunter, your suggestion about elbows plumb with the toe sounds like a great starting point for adjusting the "fore and aft" positioning of the seat. I'll try that today.
By the way, I didn't have any luck getting to the Peter White web site - I'll try again this evening from home.
Thanks for all the advice.
