Seat post height UPDATE

Ok, quick post before I worry about my CTA tomorrow.

So before, I said that the best height for your seat is when your leg is almost fully extended with the crank in the 6:00 position. Well that's partially true, but one thing I didn't mention: It's the heel. So basically, in the 6:00 position, your heel should barely be touching your pedals. So when you pedal regularly, you'll have some knee bend at the bottom of each stroke.

Also another thing that I said before and still holds true. For the seat fore-and-aft (front and back for you geniuses), put your cranks in the 3-9 position. The front tip of your forward knee should be bisecting your pedal. It may be hard to see it perfectly when you're looking at your own knee while sitting on your bike. Here's a small pic to illustrate my point.
