Theres two settings one is for learning,your feet can touch the ground though you will be too low to peddle at your best.You see children in that position all the time.Then setting two is set to peddle at your best and stop for nothing.Thats just the way it is.Seeing that you need to peddle 99.9% position two works for me thats for sure.
Agreed - if you want to put one foot down while keeping the other clipped in you'll need to slide yourself down in front of the seat.
Extending the toe ballet dancer style to prop your self up at angle is to be expected if your saddle height is right.
That's why you see roadies sat on the bar when waiting for something to happen.
...unless the bike is canted over at quite an angle.
Your feet shouldn't be able to touch the ground when you're sat on the saddle...
If i set my mtb sale to road bike height then yes, my road bikes ... no. tip toe, but
i can get at least one down.
are you sure you're not seeing it too high ???
