just having a dabble with flats from spd's and I find that it feels better to lower the saddle say half an inch compared to spd saddle height if you get my drift ! ...is it me ?
Me? No
But I don't ride that much on flats but when I do its the same - heel on pedal, arse on seat, knee just straight
thought I was weird 🙂
Its normal. I run my saddle lower when on flats compared to clips, about half an inch too!
Yes.No.
Def lower... debated this at length with similar proportioned specimen...def lower on flats.
Same here, when I move back to spd's my normal pedalling height is about half an inch higher. My flats are really thin which prob accounts for a bit of the difference.
I run my saddle lower since I went to flats.
I think I like the feel as I seem to be in the bike more rather than on it
Also depends upon the profile of the pedal of course...
you cannot ride on flats on the same seat post hieght as spds
Need to make sure that you change position of foot compared to SPDs, foot should be more centralised on the pedal than being clipped in. Plus SPDs stand proud of the bottom of your shoe unlike flat shoes, so there will be a difference

Definitely yes no.
Dark side.
