Hi there this is my post from my mountain bike on the forum and unsure what to do.

Ive put all the parts on and wheels now. It looks good but I am a medium frame normaly and yeti have said I am a medium but my groin is about 2 inchs from the top tube, the reach is perfect but when I finally buy my reverb seatpost I think I will be balancing on my tip toes or maybe not on my tip toes. Any advise ?

Thanks

ash

    So what - you ride it, you don't walk it.
    And a reverb shouldn't effect saddle height unless it's dropped.
    FWIW I can't touch the ground on both sides, even on tiptoe.

    The reverb affects saddle if you can't get it low enough, the collar on any dropper post means if you have too tall a seat tube, you possibly can't get the saddle low enough when it's at full extension. T'is a problem for some people.

    so how is this buying advice?

    seen that stand over sticky in the general section? 2 inches is more than many have. toes touching the ground while seated in your dreams if you can your saddle is too low. way too low.
