Hi all,
Im new to mtb...
Im 5'7 29" inseam trying to find the right fit.
So I had a 2013 heckler 26er small frame. I used a 90mm STEM on it but it sill felt a little cramped.
my bone was was back the saddle, really on the edge making it uncomfortable.

So I changed it for a 2014 Medium.
the reach feels a lot more comfortable. However the seat is all the way down and its still a bit high. Id say 1-2 inches. I mean Im ok once riding but I can't touch the ground comfortably enough with 1 foot when being on the saddle.

That is probably due to the fact that its now a 27.5" vs 26ER....

so my question is, should I just cut the saddle tube a couple inches (worried about the seat post height vs the handlebar)? or should I go back to the small and try more fitting exercise?

SC website says Medium for 5'7....
