Hi all,
Last weekend was the first time I was able to take my Cinder Cone through some technical stuff. It was great and very manoeuvrable through the single tracks but when climbing it seemed to lack real balance! I was unable to stop either the front wheel lifting or put enough weight on the back to prevent a slide.
Also I notice that the saddle tends to sit quite well back from the bottom bracket which is now exasperated since I’ve fitted a thudbuster.
Has anyone else noticed this? Any ideas to get around this?
I’d be most grateful for any advice?

Sounds like a fit issue. Can not get more specific without seeing you on and riding the bike.

The frame is the same size as my other bikes – my issue is with the saddle position. It does not sit directly over the bottom bracket.
