Saddle help.

[jifdave]

Bought a triban 3 and when I rode it first the seat was surprisingly comfortable but ever do slightly low, I bought a longer seat post so I can get the seat to the correct(or what I assume is correct) position, and now it hurts my poor bottom.

I was wearing the same kit both time, is it that I now have the seat in a position that takes my full weight thus the bum pain?

Have you raised the seat height?
As you do it increases the distance the saddle is from the front of the bike , i put my saddle up this week and its now 5 mm further back as well so i need to slide it a bit futher foward on its rails.

What do you assume is the "correct" seat height?
It is lower than a lot of folks think it might be. Knees should still have something a 30 deg bend at the bottom of the pedal stroke.

Is it the same angle as it was before? And if its too high itll cause you gyp.

Thanks guys. I will move the seat forward a bit and see what happens.
