Where do you sit?

I've been riding on my b17 for 8 months now and am probably still breaking it in. I often notice I sit quite forward on it and scoot back. This morning I was paying particular attention to where my sit-bones are in relation to the saddle and it made me think about angling my seat upward to encourage me to aim for C or D. Where do you think you sit? |
My sit bone indentations are between B and C - I sit pretty far back for some reason. I wouldn't worry about it if you are comfortable though.
|
Judging by the wear marks on mine, anywhere between B and E. At least in my experience, you can't angle the front up a lot before it starts hurting you when in the drops.
|
I tend to sit towards the nose most of the time. I'll scoot back sometimes to relieve some pressure but generally feel more efficient forward on the saddle.
|
I sit on the seat?
|
I sit where it feels comfortable. Not sure where that is.
|
The saddle will conform to how you sit on the saddle. Don't worry yourself about too much.
|
I usually sit between d and e.

Thanks for humoring me. Rode in today not paying attention. I think a certain amount of scooting around is normal.... i tend to scoot back on hills it seems. I was just a little paranoid that if I was sitting up as far as E-F that I was prolonging the break-in and not getting the comfort benefit.. but I'd say in reality i'm all over the shop.
|
On D for me. :)

No B17.. insufficient setback on the seatpost frames seat tube. on the one, 17, I had. I sit on a Fi:zi'k Brompton special ordered Vitesse.. on that bike, now. yea turn the nose of the saddle up.. |
I honestly have no idea.
