>>1835729I have extremely inflexible hamstrings, but I have no problems rolling forward and sitting with a flat back. I also have short legs and long arms. I don't know if these details are relevant. I don't know anything.
On my daily 5km ride to work I've been changing the angle on my seat and I just don't get it. To me it looks tilted back (pic related), but it feels level. When I tilt it forward, relative to how it is now, it looks level but feels like it's dumping me off of it. But also I then feel, and possibly am, dramatically faster. And to be able to balance on it without my hands supporting me I actually need to tilt it further back than it is in this picture.
What do I do? I just want it to be as fast as possible for short distances. Do I need to be more flexible or something to be able sit on it without my hands supporting me? Am I just built for the backwards tilt? Or is not being as balanced on it just part of being faster?
