Saddle Position Question
Hi,
My current saddle to bar measurement is 55.5cm, however I have just put a new saddle on my bike which is 1cm longer than my previous one. As a result should I adjust my saddle to bar measurement or should I keep it the same?
Many thanks

If you are not sitting 1CM closer to the bars, then no need to change. I changed to a Specialized saddle which has a shorter nose, but I still sit in the same position so no change was needed even though it added about 2CM of clearance to the bars.
