How To Tell If Your Saddle Height Is Wrong & Adjust For The Right Position

If you're not feeling too comfortable on the bike, the root of your problems may actually be a little more simple than you think! Your saddle is without a doubt an important component of your mountain bike. It is your main touch point, spreading most of your body weight over the bike. Odd angles, positioning on the rails and the height you set it at can greatly impact your comfort and the muscle groups needed to drive you forward in pursuit of good times! Anna is on hand with some tips to make sure you're set up for success!
