h3 255 seat height ?

Post by oc ender »

I'm 6'0.I tried to find the right seat height to save my knees.Bernie had the seat at 7'' and it felt really good,except my knees hurt.I loward it 1" and raised it 2",still not just right.Whats the highest i should go before it impares the stability.And are sore knees part of the fun.The seat is quite wide,prob 8-10".I took out the ankle blocks as well,for now at least.Love the boat,knees don't, HELP.
That wasn't carnage,watch this...

I just outfitted one a 255 with a 6" high 6" wide to start with. After a few mild test runs, Raised the saddle to 7" and widened to 9". Helps a little. About to add ankle blocks hopefully will help.
