Ow...

dogsballs on fixed i find it harder to get the right settings. with freewheel you coast alot so can get away with the seat not being perfect height, but fixed you need to feel smooth the full power stroke, but also be able to get into a position to skid stop easily as well. i changed my saddle setting 5 times the first longish ride on my yates the other day.

Just what I was thinking. I would say great mind think alike but I know your mind is swiming shit and my mind is twisted.

MrSmith i find i slide back and sit up on the back of saddle when resisting or slowing down so instead of just having 1 seated position i have 2.
took a week or so of riding to get used to the change of position and a bit of an ache in muscles that don't get used with a freewheel.

Another good point, although when riding with a free wheel you should still move about the seat I find because you can coast and (if you have them) change gears you tend not to as much as when you are riding fixed and have to make the most out of every position. I do not get out of the saddle much on my fixedwheel finding I can be more efficient moving around the saddle but on my road bike I am jumping up and down all the time.
