Hi everyone, I need your advice on bike fitting. I'm looking into buying a zero setback seatpost because my saddle is at his most forward position with my 20mm setback seatpost and my knee seems to be a little behind the center of my pedal so it feels like I lack overall power when I pedal.
I have pretty short leg for my height (5 foot 10 but only about 30 inch inseam) and I suspect my femur is quite short so I would like to know if having my knee completely over the center of my pedal will help me have more power in each stroke ? Or is it more a question of personal preference ? I've read that the pros actually pedal quite far back and their knee is behind the center of the pedal which would make them more powerful, is it true ?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers!
