Hi all !
For a while now my seat height has always felt a bit high from my fitter from years ago. Granted he had me lower at the front end and dead level pads and bars. If it makes a difference or not to seat height I don’t know, but I since adjusted front height 10mm taller and pads a slight angle and have had that way for years.
Anyway I didn’t realise after getting my bike back from some work done by the bike mech in the off-season and the seat height was back up by about 5mm. Training in the off-season my power has been a touch lower, like maybe 10 watts and I just figured I’m getting older or something. I since put it back down 5mm roughly maybe a smidge less. I notice the difference and got my mate to film a poor ass side view after a pre race hit out.
Comments on seat height ? It actually maybe still looks too high but it feels a lot lower. I’m more…. Spinny is that the word ? Am I within range a bit now ?
Edit: is 5mm Enuff go to cause a difference in power or am I dreaming and the change is too small
