On a road bike what’s the difference between a rear facing and forward facing seat post?
I was looking at different bikes and saw these words being used to describe seat angle, I wanted to know the advantages/disadvantages of each so I know which frame would be best for me.
Aside from fit, what about any benefits associated with either? Is one more in tuned for longer rides, sprinting, comfort?
It allows for a few cm of extra adjustment. If you side the seat forward to the max position but it is not enough, you can turn the post around to get more adjustment in that direction.
