Boobage and drop handlebars

[annie]

Anaphase,

Here's an interesting article about bike fitting, saddle/handlebar height in particular. Maybe there will be something there to help.

As to touching knees/legs to boobs while pedaling - well I tried today. Really tried. Got as low on the drops as I could, my chin was almost touching my bars, and still no contact. ::::::::sigh:::::::::

I got curious and tried padding up to 36d out of curiousity since I am naturally barely b. No hitting at all. I guess I have a longer torso or something(5'8").
The much earlier refference to crank length is to extend or reduce leg stroke. The longer the arm, the more your knee will come up on the up stroke.
As far as the other pain, saddle tilt is very sensitive and critical to help that. On my road setup I have to have the saddle almost tilted forward to keep my pelvis at the right angle. On the MTB it is almost tilted back.
