saddle height/position

whats the best way to judge how high your saddle should be and should it be level of point down. Im a complete and utter newb :shock:

Saddle should be level. Height set to 109% of inside leg measurement, that's a good start point, or set it so that with the heel on the pedal at its lowest point the leg is fully extended.

This got me somewhere close, remember to add the height of your cleats otherwise you may be a bit low.

Saddle fore/aft adjustment is just as important. Google KOPS (knee over pedal spindle) and you'll find lots of info. Not perfect but a good place to start from.

It's not just saddle height, you should get all of the bike fitted to you.
Watch this YouTube video or Google "bike fit".
