Here a question for all you Uber Bike Geometry Nerds out there, from a wanna be uber bike geometry nerd.
How do you measure the "effective seat tube angle" on a bike. By effective angle I mean the angle the rider is riding at. ie taking into account the variations of seat poisiton, seatposts: staright, forward, slack; the positions of the rider on the saddle: rides/perches forward, sits way back. So whats the go is it hip joint to bottom bracket, centre of saddle to bottom bracket?
Your input welcomed. and no I didn't forget... Please
