How many of you ride your tri bike/time trial bike at or near the max height for the seatpost?
If it’s a good fit otherwise this is ok right? I mean aside from maybe looking a bit on the gawky side.
I ride max seat hight. I don’t think there’s anything bad from it. Looks fine. I need a 120 stem becuse of the smaller frame size.

I’m maxxed out as well. It just makes your wheels look smaller. My frame is 61 cm, so it’s not like I’m going out to find a bigger one.

you get some extra flex, which might not feel awesome but has no pragmatic negative effect. anytime you are going fast there isn’t much weight on your seat anyway.
there is some extra risk of the seat post failing, but i imagine any OEM post from a reputable bike company will be pretty safe.
my road bike is a soloist 58cm and the seat post close to as far up as it can go in the large size.
