Mike, Thanks for asking.
Since I decided to bring my Albatross handlebars up & back the saddle position feels strange. My rear end feels like it wants to slide back and when I do I run out of saddle. I slammed the saddle all the way back when I originally installed the Albatross with a 12cm Tallux stem, when I installed a 9cm ( I had it lying around when I took it off my Hilsen that's another story) I thought maybe I might be able to squeeze the saddle back a tad further. So on a recent ride I did! I finished the ride and my legs felt really good. Back in the shop I looked at the point of contact between seat clamp & rails. What I discovered were the front rails were not seated inside the curvature of the clamp surface. On a Brooks B17 the rails taper underneath the beginning of the saddle nose so I ran out of adjustment. I figured with the offset seatpost at worst if I was wrong regarding the the set back then, I could slide the saddle forward. I didn't consider the amount of setback with the S84 versus the S65, looking at it now I see that's it's a 19mm difference or 3/4/.7 of an inch. That's doesn't seem like that much but perhaps it is. I suppose I could try the S83 but I don't see the offset? Is the offset of the S83 the same as the S65 Crystal Fellows? Your thoughts? Cheers, ~Hugh “Life is like riding a bicycle.
