MTB : Seat Height
Written by Nice Hot Tea on 2:03 PMSeat Height
The height of your bike should match the length of your legs. Getting the correct seat height is a matter of simple analogy. Start off by sitting on the saddle, with one of your feet on one pedal which is at the bottom of its stroke. Your seat is too high if your leg is perfectly straight, while your seat is too low if your knees are bent too much. In this case, simply adjust the bolt system located under your seat. Raise or lower your seat until you feel comfortable. Ideally, your knees should be bent at a 25-30 degree angle.
Seat Position
An effective way to find the correct seat position is by executing a normal riding position, with the pedals positioned parallel to the ground. Your seat is in the right position if your front knee is above the middle of the pedal. If it is not over it, this will cause knee pain. Regarding the seat angle, just keep your seat level or be titled a little forward. Tilting the seat down will push you to the handlebars, while tilting it back will drag your body down. Correcting your seat position and angle can be done by adjusting the bolt located near the top of the seat post.
Incorrect Mountain Bike seat height and position would definitely lead to discomfort, physical pain, and dismal performance. Adjust the height and position of your bike seat so you will be comfortable while riding your bike and improve your overall performance.
