That would be my only concern. With the crank at the 3:00/9:00 position like in your photo I would expect more bend in the knee. I'd be curious to see what things look like at 12:00/6:00. But, it's your bike, your body. Seeing what others look like on their bikes is really of little relevance. UBU. Within reason. I also don't see a front brake on your bike. What's that about?
Good questions.
I weighed myself yesterday.
Will get a pic at 12/6 position.
max insertion point is just covered by the top of the headset.
Im trying out a 26x1.75 rim currently, and have my front brake removed as a result. I need to grease the pivot points of the caliper before installing it again.
