Hi,

in most cases it's not necessary to cut down the whole seat but to cut the seat's flanks / sides. As soon as the seat is not that broad anymore, You will reach the ground with Your feet. This works. But You should only cut the front part and not the part where You sit on. You might need this for Your ass.

Cheers,

Stefan , who sometimes lowers bikes for friends, and never his own, since he is 1,97 m tall.
