Snohomish and Lake Stevens (2018-09-01)

Another ride my partner was unable to join, even though we'd originally planned for me to show her the area up there.

I've been experimenting with determining what my knees actually want for a long time. I was able to start with a big leap from how I had Ivory Pass set up with new bike, and this ride was another part of it. As of writing this blog, I actually need set-forward seatposts for both bikes now, which means that specifying a 71.5° seat tube angle for both of them was a big mistake. Bike fitters had been trying to get my saddle further and further back for years, but I've discovered that, not only did I not need that, but it also sent my thought process in the completely wrong direction.

More after the break…
