Bought new bike at weekend and man in lbs put saddle to right (?) height. It feels a touch high to me feel like I couldn't put feet anywhere near floor if I needed to - yes I know brakes are the main stopping mechanism. I thought it was a case of one foot on pedal and the other should be able to touch floor relatively easily is that not the case. Now to be fair the major test took me unintentionally though some very muddy woods and the mongoose 450 isn't designed for that and I frequently found myself having to dismount (well practically falling off - was longing for my giant back at that moment) - I went out with no map and followed my nose! Unfortunately I couldn't adjust the height when out as the back light fitting was in the way - had the tools but went without glasses so couldn't see to do the job!
So what is the view on saddle heights please.
