I really don't have the flexibility to get over the saddle and I'm tall with a 33-34 inch inseam so the saddle sits fairly high. It doesn't help than when I get on and lift up into the saddle, my cycling shorts get tangled up in the nose having to balance everything while I get untangled.

When I got my fit he put my saddle up pretty high. It works perfectly while riding as my knees don't hurt and I get a lot of power out of it. If I lower it, my legs start aching again and I still get caught up.

I have men's Pearl Izum's x-large shorts. Nothing else seemed to fit right and the women's clothing I tried on were way too small.
