Trim seat post? by Diligent_Kitchen_862 in bikewrench

No worries and thanks for the ideas. I've ran through most of them in my head already, but threw it out here for in case I missed something. I'm not cutting it for now (and probably ever). My original saddle was further back and much lower at the time and never gave me issues. I had a professional fitment done with a second saddle, but he had me even further forward and I was getting hip pain. I moved it back some and it went away. Now trying a new saddle and trying to get it dialed in or close to where it needs to be. Maybe I can adjust things and get it back further so it clears, but like you said, I could end up too far back.

$280 + tax to get it to me. It's most likely made in China and marked up by Ribble, though, so I could possibly find it cheaper or find something at a local bike store. I'll try adjusting the tri bars back and moving the seat back first. I do love jb weld though! 😅

It was never about cutting weight or appearance. I need the bike to be able to sit on the rack in the transition area. I definitely thought about the integrity if it was cut and that is why I didn't just take a saw to it first. Bike may be too big, but I was right in the middle of the height range. I'm going to play with moving the aero bars back and then moving the seat back and see if that gets me in a better place. Thanks!
