Since no one with more knowledge than dumb-old me has answered yet: I don't know anything about hamstrings and quads but I do know that is indeed a very setback post you're using on a rather slack seattube. Considering that you're also using a short stem I think you could keep your current reach

Dang it, I wish there was a way to edit these things. I'd swap the post first and see what you think. You may end up happy with the reach without changing anything else. On Thursday, March 3, 2022 at 11:39:03 PM UTC-8 Joe Bernard wrote: > Since no one with more knowledge than dumb-old me has

Before swapping the post, have you tried sliding the saddle all the way forward on the lugged seatpost and trying that? On Friday, March 4, 2022 at 2:44:06 AM UTC-5 Joe Bernard wrote: > Dang it, I wish there was a way to edit these things. I'd swap the post > first and see what you think. You

You also don't mention which saddle are you are using, which in my experience is a key determinant in how much setback you need to achieve through frame and seatpost setback. The Nitto Lugged post was developed by Riv when most of their designs used a 72 degree seat angle, and some people had t

Like Joe B, I dont know about hamstrings vs quads, but is *seems like *you are* too stretched out* on the 54.5cm AHH-MIT, mainly since you are using a very short stem length and a very short reach bar. Also, a 54.5 AHH-MIT has equal STA and HTA, STA=71.5°. HTA=71.5° so the bars are coming back
