  1. [FONT=Comic Sans MS]Ok, here is what’s happening: When in the drops and back on my saddle, and a fairly fast cadence, I feel like I’m bouncing on the saddle. It can’t be good for the saddle rails, and most likely a waste of power as well.

    How do I correct, do I need to adjust saddle height or position? Should I go back to my LBS and have my fit checked?[/FONT]
    🙂 🙂

    Yes.

    Saddle could be too low.

    A fit check is a good start.

    Bouncing is a problem that tends to happen as riders push for higher cadences. I think it is correctable with practice and positioning.

  4. Thanks Guys,

    Guess I'll plan a new fit check!
