can i change bike seat post to fit my size?
i am pretty short, and all the bike i find i fit on are about $400. i wanted something a little cheaper but they all are so high when i get on, my feet wont even touch the gorund (i’m 5’1). could i get the bike i want and just change out the seat post so my legs can reach?
Just so you know… When the bike seat is at its proper height (i.e. you can comfortably extend your leg on the downstroke when pedaling), you should not be able to touch the ground at all with your feet when sitting on the seat.
If you set the seat so low that you can put your feet on the ground when you are on the seat, it’s going to cause a lot of soreness in your knees after pedaling for a few minutes.
How do you stop if you can’t touch the ground with your feet when on the bike seat? Simple. When braking to a stop, you have to slide yourself forward off the seat so you can get your feet on the ground. It does take some practicing to do this right though.
Hope this helps.
