  • i wanna fit a seat post not buy fucking perfume...

  • This was no help whatsoever. You told me where my sits bones should be on the seat, but who doesn't know that already? You can't really talk about proper saddle placment unless you talk about the whole fit, which will be different depending on what type of riding you want to do. So, put my sit bones on the widest part of saddle. Got it. Awesome video. Now edit out 1 minute.

  • @wajang1000 the're actually focusing on numbers... thousands of videos, some of them redundant in topic, lame quality, quantity only... i found like five good movies from expertvillage in all those years...

  • @Bhousm76 thanks for the info

  • @cisco760ca with road bikes its all about getting your power from your body, to the road. riding more rigid gear is going to transfer more power to the asphalt, bouncing on a nice spongy seat is going to take some of that away.

  • @cisco760ca If you mean hardness is uncomfortable, i personally find excessively soft seats difficult/tiring to pedal on 'cause I bounce on them. So I stick to hard seats and get cycling shorts. If you're not racing, it's just personal preference i suppose.

  • i like road bikes and mountain bikes but can anyone tell me why so painful seats ?

  • Damn excellent story, bro

  • @00raiserkiller123 try tahara riders
