Some (most?) seatposts have the clamp slightly offset instead of centered over the tube; turn the seatpost around, remount the saddle, and make sure there's still enough tilt available (not always). -- Rick Onanian |

Yeah, I'm still playing with things as I get more miles in. I tweaked the tilt by 1/2 a turn last night, so I'll wait a bit before adjusting anything else, but I've still got about .5 cm of room left to go forward with it if I decide to do so. -- Remove the ns_ from if replying by e-mail (but keep posts in the newsgroups if possible). |
