  • It's not 73,25mm, it's 73,25cm!!

  • There is no magic number, no equation for "correct" seat height. None. So I fail to see how he could get more specific. Also, unless you a preschooler, most of us don't glue our ass to the seat and perch with our feet on the ground. We lean the bike, or slide off the seat, or pedal slower tell we get to the light, or simply do a track stand. If you are sitting on your seat with your feet flat on the ground you are killing your knees and holding up traffic riding SLOOOW.

  • I really don't know how you can't understand understand this lesson. There is a correct seat height to each individual and his/her riding style. If you are simply commuting then your seating is going to differ than those riding trails, downhill or xc.
