so give or take 1cm you are my height - I have average length legs for my height. Would you say that you have enough length in the extended post or are you riding with it at the max? Brompton say up to 6'2" for the extended but many people that height claim it's not long enough6'1: the long one but not telescopic.
I find it doesn't make a huge difference. Mine was fully-forward when I got it, and I've recently had to set it fully-back to accommodate a seat-rail GoPro mount. The new riding position is marginally sportier, but felt completely normal within a matter of minutes.Does anyone have insight into the ergonomics of having the seat forward or back? I have S bars and like mine about medium but I am just guessing as to what is most efficient.
Where can I get one of those, please? And do they come in different diameters? I really need something like this for my two vintage bikes (with straight posts - I've forgotten the diameter but can find it) with very slack seat tube angles. My knees would be really grateful!No, a rearward extension. It allows the saddle to be set either fore or aft of the seat post. In my case it moves the saddle back.
Apols for the poor photo but ....

This is a matter of bike fit, determined by a number of factors (none of which are reach to the handlebars) including the length of your feet and proportions of your legs, in particular the length of your femur. The fore/aft position of your saddle will determine the relative position of your hips to your pedal spindle, and from there all the angles of your legs (bent at ankle, knee and hip, each angle working as levers).Does anyone have insight into the ergonomics of having the seat forward or back?
