Should I set seatpost height at the same level as a standard seatpost or should I set it higher to account for sag?

I ended up with mine about 1 inch higher. The amount of sag will depend on the preload setting you use, your weigh and your riding position. So you just see what works best for you.

Adjust it the way u like it! I have mine so my seat is just above my hip bone

The seat will sit higher about 5" on the new seat post, which means if your stock seat post is as low as it will go for seating on the bike then the new seat post will move the seat up about 5" more. This 5" or so is for the movement of the seat. The seat movement is only about 1 1/2" if you set it up for more movement then the seat will move as soon as you sit on it. Hope this helps

It's personal preference, I would set it normal height at first and if you find that it's too low to pedal efficiently then raise it slightly to account for the sag.

Increase your seat height a bit, and you should be fine. Take corners carefully. It's fun but you don't get that much real exercise.

Just fine. Never had any issues. I think it's the angle of the seat, sits deep.

maybe because the seat post will not fully retract? look at the frame style. at its lowest point my saddle is several inches above the frame. might put normal sizing out.....I bought mine from a shop so tested it in person

Network 3.0 Schwinn I think your seat post would be really sticking up awkwardly high. I am 5 foot 10 and the bike works for me but I still added a handle bar 100mm or about 4 inches higher at the grips for more comfortable upright riding. You could make this bike work but a larger framed bike would be more suitable.

I don't think it's too high at all ... I quickly got very comfortable with the action on mine. the saddle could easily be sanded down if needed too.

See Antistatist answer of April 30. 2015. I agree. You should be just fine. Once adjusted, the seat is set.

Honestly, probably not. I am 5'11 and have put the seat up at the highest setting to feel comfortable. At your height and weight (really the height), it might not have enough height on the seat setting. Just my opinion of course.

Yes, don't be afraid of it. I have ours set at the lowest height because I am so short but, trust me it's not flimsy at all!

Slightly complicated question. I'm 6 foot. The seat post is way to short for the frame. The bike rides a bit akward because of this. If you are a male of 5'10" or more you'll wanna replace the seat post, as I did, and bring the seat up so that you can get your legs into the proper pedal position.... Though.... At this point you will find you are up in the air a ways. I got used to this easy and appreciated the advantages of 29" wheels. However.... If you are on the short side you will be breaking new ground and I can't help much there. I have got some comments on just how big the bike is... But then again... All 29ers are. If you are going to put serious miles on this bike try to order a spare bushing for the rear swingarm. And the stock tires wear out REALLY fast. &lt;-easily fixed That being said I've customized out one of these with more money than the purchase cost and I have no regrets.

Pull out your old seatpost and look at the lower portion of it, the size in "MM"...about 2 to 3 inches from the bottom usually. Unfortunately there are so many sizes of seatpost.

Your weight is good ..max..250..being 6.5 is questionable. .I'm 6.0 and use the 3 rd hole on seat pole...I think it may go to 5 holes..to be safe..u would be boarder line..the bike is nice if u can get it safely to u...un damaged..ha.

Slightly forward. I watched a YouTube video on making my adjustments. Just google "how do I adjust my saddle stool?" And see if it comes up.

The spacing between the bolts has to be close to the original spacing. Also you may need to get longer bolts if your seat is already thicker where the bolts are.

The lowest seat adjustment might be OK. I'm 5'2" and had to raise it two notches.

I adjust it where I want it. Set levels, I dont think so. I do really love this bench. Also, very comfortable. It's a good looking bench. To me it's worth the money.

I just dropped the seat down a couple notches to a level that is comfortable. I think the instructions say to keep it at the higher notch, but it works fine if you lower it.
