“I think it’s a style thing, but it’s so bad for you!” “You see so many commuter bikes with too-low seats,” says Tara Lazarski, a physiotherapist who works with pro cyclists from her office at Catalyst Kinetics Group in North Vancouver, and on the road with the Canadian national mountain bike team. Whether you’re removing the seatpost for travel or just setting up a bike to demo at a shop, knowing your measurement is key. It’s also the one that is the easiest to set, but also the easiest to shift or slip. It’s key because it impacts your comfort level, your ability to crank out watts, and your knee health. Saddle height is arguably the most important measurement for cyclists. To keep your road bike position the same, every time, every ride, there are three measurements that you should be aware of-and checking constantly. It’s not just about setting your seat height, however.
Whether you are buying a new bike, switching between bikes, or simply installing a new saddle, bike fit is important.
