Here is my question. What methods do various board members use to check seat height? A recent postion photo post got me thinking about how we diagnosis someone as having too high a seat without watching them peddle.
I know that it is considered a truism that if your hips rock side to side then your seat is too high. Sometimes I find myself swaying side to side on my rollers. It is more of a slight shoulder sway than a hip rock. It seems more of a breathing rhythm than a cadence rhythm
What about riding on rollers with a high cadence as a guide to determining whether a seat is too high? Although I somewhat suspect my seat is too high, I can peddle at 120 rpms on the rollers for a couple of minutes at a time with no bouncing or swaying. This leads me to beleive that it is not too high.
So, anyone know of any rules of thumb concerning seat height, cadence, rollers, etc.??
Thanks. DavidK
