Saddle fitting on rad mini

[mikebikes]

Got my radmini and it’s super fun tho the saddle fit is kind of weird and I think may be affecting my knees.

Thoughts on this ?

I didn't like my Rad Rover saddle. I replaced it with a Brooks B67. Although it's not broken in yet, it much battery than the original saddle.

I guess my concern is where my knees fall over the pedals, they’re too far back the way it is now

You should be able to adjust the saddle a bit forward or backwards. I moved my wife's saddle up a little bit on her Radcity Step-Thru for a more comfy ride (bodyfloat v2.0 seatpost+Cloud-9 cruiser seat). I had to get a longer 420mm seatpost for my Radrover because the 350mm seatpost was too short causing my right knee to ache.

I did the Kinekt Cirrus BodyFloat v2.0 350mm with purple springs (100-150lbs) for my wife and I did the v2.0 420mm with orange springs (200-250lbs) from my Radrover. There are YouTube videos on how to adjust for float or swap out springs.

There is an updated version v2.1 for the bodyfloat. I don't know the difference between the older/newer versions: https://cirruscycles.com/pages/why-kinekt. I haven't had any issues with my v2.0 Bodyfloat and I'm over the weight limit at 270-285 lbs (winter cloths and commuter backpack). I have around +2000 miles at 50-70 miles per week with paved road work commutimng and single-track trail riding.

The prices seemed to be the same at the Kinekt, Amazon, or 3rd party websites. Advantage with Kinekt website is you can add additional accessories like tools, repair kits, cover, or spring sets. I haven't checked eBay to see if any v2.0 or v2.1 are available. New springs are only $10 each if you find a used one with the wrong springs (Allen wrench set to change out).
