Your bikes not big enough

Because of Rule 48, Saddles must be level and pushed back.

Yeah, I do believe the owner bought it a size smaller to have some more adjustability and a shorter wheelbase.

I also think saddles pushed back look better.

And it's not my bike :)

That's rather nice. What is it?

Anyone who is tempted to answer 'a bike' is not as funny as they think they are.

Green bike

Wrong. It's a nice green bike.

Is that from Arran? It looks like Arran.

@danstuff It's the new Charge Plug (5). @gillies And since Charge sponsors the Grinduro on Arran, I would think that's Arran.

Somehow ISP on a gravel grinders seams weird

Night gravelling obvs

Wouldn't that make KOPS bike fit difficult to achieve?

Why?

nice bike, ruined by those cranks and pedals

Some guy I follow on instagram did it fixed and got a charge as a prize. Pretty cool

Also, would be better with them direct mount Paul comp brakes, right?

scary

Wouldn't that make KOPS bike fit difficult to achieve?

It make it easier by taking the KOPS out gently, put it carefully down on the kerbs and smash it to smithereens.

I really don't get this? with a 74º seattube and 16mm of setback I would think you're at about the same position as 72º seattube and a "normal" 25mm setback seatpost with your seat in the middle. Am I missing something?

especially when you consider cleat positions, knee angles, shoe size, position on the seat and so on...

also other factor that some people have a short upper legs which result in the saddle needing to be set further forward.

KOPS is not to be used.

AFAIK rule of thumb is +/- 1deg for every 10mm fore/aft adjustment

Thanks

Reader's. 99% of the time split between winter trainer and occasional touring duties, but slapped on a pair of Gravelking SKs and went off piste.
