7 Bike Fits – seat posts

Seat posts – why would we suggest a new/different seat post.

In one case we needed to get the saddle back further then the post allowed - we needed the offset to be further back. There was a history of a recent knee surgery so getting the seat height up was one goal but also moving it back (aft) was another to protect the knee as much as possible. As you know the more forward you position a saddle the more accute the angle at the knee and the more stress on the joint.

The other seat post was recommended simply because we could not get the tilt in a comfortable setting. This seat post was “notched” and one position the nose was pointed up and the other it was pointed down. We ended up recommending a more of a micro adjust seat post.

We are just reporting what we found in these 7 bike fits. Your experience may very quite a bit. We hope to do this more in the future so and hopefully we can all learn from this
