saddle height
Saddle height refers to the vertical distance from the top of a bicycle's saddle to the ground. It is an important measurement for cyclists, as the correct saddle height can enhance comfort, efficiency, and overall performance while riding. A properly adjusted saddle allows for optimal leg extension during pedaling, reducing the risk of injury and fatigue.
To find the ideal saddle height, cyclists often use a simple method involving leg extension. When the pedal is at its lowest point, the leg should be almost fully extended, with a slight bend at the knee. This ensures that the rider can pedal effectively without straining their legs or back.
