>>1037057>Problem with a downward angled saddle is that it tends to make you slide forward.Noted.
My gf got me drop bars so I have to change the setup anyway. Before I had riser bars and now that I've installed the drops and have the brakes attached I'm finding I have to drop the stem significantly and lower my seat greatly. Everything is changed and the seat I'm still playing with. I'm considering dropping the stem all the way so that my back can be positioned straight easier. I really need it to be flat no matter what position I am in. The stem has been dropped by maybe an inch and three quarters (inch and a half perhaps) and I think I will do it the half inch that is left.
My bike frame feels a lot smaller than before, before it felt too big but with the drops I'm finding it's really the perfect size but I'm still feeling it out.
Questions; is it ok to have the drops nearing the top of the wheel? Where should my head be positioned? How forward is too forward? Never had drops before but always wanted them, everything is very new but super comfy.
