A question to all you bike fettlers out there.
Do you set saddle height when your sat on the bike with the rear shock sagged to its required amount? Or do you take in to consideration how much you've "sank" down because of the sagged rear shock?

On most bikes the distance from the pedals to the saddle will not change when the bike is sagged, so Makes no difference!0

I know what your saying, but I really do feel lower after the shock has gone to its sagged positionFinished0

makes Zero difference and your legs are only a certain length.
what is the bike?"Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

The saddle to pedal distance is fixed - it makes no difference whatsoever whether the shock is compressed or not.0 -

make sure you are getting correct sag at both ends. as too much sag at the rear and not enough at the front can make a bike feel wrong."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."
