  1. an address that might be of intrest

    universidad de león ,
    departamento de biomecánica ,
    Dr. Juan Garcia López .

    this is the guy who´s working with some of the best spanish cyclists to improve their position on the bike ( Mayo , Valverde among others )

    some general rules he´s come up with are that leg extension should not exceed 150 degres and ankle rotation not exceed 20 degrees . ( it seems the pros tend to have their saddle too high just like the rest of us )
    aside from that it seems to be more your style that determins position on the bike than size
    ie , saddle forward for high cadence : TT and track persuit etc
    saddle back for lower cadence : cyclo-cross ,mtb , and rough roads ( paris - roubaux type cobbles ) or just poor roads on climbs .
    general road riding : something between the two that feels comfy for your style
