Riders often get caught up in the details of saddle height, obsessing over minute adjustments. But if terrain and fatigue are always shifting, how can one “ideal” position even exist? It’s intriguing how some cyclists thrive on a less-than-perfect setup. Does this mean we’re overvaluing precision?
Consider this: could the time spent tweaking the saddle be better invested in honing skills or tackling different terrains? When does the quest for the perfect fit become counterproductive? If muscle memory plays a role in adapting to various setups, should we prioritize learning to ride effectively within those variations instead of clinging to numbers?
How do we draw the line between necessary adjustments and simply chasing an unattainable standard? If adaptability is key, are we missing out on the joy of cycling by fixating too heavily on these details? What’s your take on how we balance these aspects in our riding experience?
