So, looking for a new bike and I’m comparing ett and reach to my last bike.
Obviously, ett with affect feel when seated and reach when standing.
As I pedal up (and along) before coming down, ett is important if not “trendy”. However, I appreciate that a longer reach might well be a good thing.
So, I suppose my questions are, how much longer can I go on reach before it starts to feel too big? To match my current ett, the reach will be about 2.5″ longer. How noticeable would that be?
I know the seat angle is a big factor but there’s only so much range on saddle rails and as I pedal mid foot, I like a more forward seating position.
