How to Set Up Cyclocross Bikes : How to Adjust Cyclocross Bike Seat Height

[alezard]

Dumbest video..if you already have another type of bike you want it to be about the same height...WHAT ABOUT IF YOU DON'T ...

[1995richardjansen]

Where's that 1:08 break for?

[Derlicte]

This guy is Cat 4. I guarantee it.

[yumkie]

"you know"

[lgx22]

hey your saddle's pretty nice do u buy it seperately?

[ramiejose]

hi can wou have drop bars on a mountain bike eg specalized hardrock sport

[saltysailor72]

I dunno, but isn't that best left for Wou to decide? You shouldn't be worrying about Wou's cyclocross bike, just worry about your own.

[shorerydr10]

no you cant. the whole point they have drops on a cyclocross bike is that they want ot go fast, but drops on a moutainbike is tupid.

asshole

[calduderocker]

wow what a great video i have been doing cyclo cross for more than ten years and i have never heard so much BULLSHIT do not listen to this bloke he is crap listen to people who race all the time and have been doing it for a long time not some american gimp who thought cyclo cross is cool because its european i originate from belgium so i think i know bit more than him

[wallis222]

Easy there. I agree that these videos are not beneficial to an experience CX rider, but I don't think experienced riders are expected to watch these. It seems to me that these videos are geared towards new riders, riders that have things to learn. I agree that he is difficult to listen to, but he brings up some valid points. Fror example, many roadies would have their seat heights maxed out for full pedal efficiency, and they'd never think about the fact that having some float room is nice.

"you're always accelerating.... and that sort of stuff." wow. that's deep.

[deathwishdorris]

so you buy a fucking layback and then slam the seat forward.

expert village is shit.

[austify]

haha ya i saw that...doesnt make sense to me either

[havenlightsmile]

u didn't actually show HOW TO ADJUST THE SEAT.....

[sk8skeeskeewee]

lol i know, stupid indiots village

[awpeel]

cyclocross geometry is quite different than MTB or Road. It is a balance between stability for rough terrain (sit more towards the rear of the bike) and having power to accelerate (sit more towards the front of the bike). I agree the seat height should be about the same, but all of your angles will be different.

Well thanks for the ideas, but there are lots of ways of doing these things and i'm not sure everything about this way of setting up is the best.
