Better Cycling Experience

[Chris Z]

Hi, Guys

I'm very curious to know that if your road bike could be adapted to make you feel more comfortable during the ride, which of these do you adjust most? I know that sounds a little bit fancy. But, yup, I mean if it could be adapted during your ride, which of these do you adjust most? Why do you want to adapted this part?

A. Saddle Height B. Saddle Angle C. Saddle Width D. Handle Bar Height E. Handle Bar Angle F. Pedal Width

Thanks!

Your question will be better answered in the form and fitness section of the forum, I will move your thread there.

Thanks for helping. But, I'm focusing on road cyclists. I'M A ROAD BIKER. This is the reason why I posted my thread there.

Thanks

Do you mean adjust while you are out riding? Or in between rides?

If it's the former, only the saddle height if I have had to change a saddle or seat post I would take an allen key on the next ride to fine tune.

If it's the later, only A and B, mostly B. C took me 9 saddles to get right, will never change again.

Thanks for your reply. I mean during your ride. I sounds fancy. But, I mean it. I just really want to know how do you feel? And why? Thanks

I am not sure what sounding fancy is but I am wondering about C. Is there a saddle out there with an adjustable width?

Trek has the Bontrager Hilo with an adjustable nose width. My wife rides one and really loves it.

How quick can it be adjusted back and forth?

It's just a few seconds to adjust the width.

Interesting question. I would say saddle width or angle to accommodate for position changes (from on the hoods - climbing, to in the drops - riding aero.

...but I like my bike and its static dimensions during my rides and races

This reads like another market research post.

I know the bike industry seems like a tempting market for an engineer/inventor, but it's already been invented.
