I’m afraid that this could cause power loss due to bad posture when pedaling from random position instead of the right one.
For example going way front or way back on the saddle could ruin the results of a bike fit.
I think that the saddle position should be “locked” (something like cylinders with the crankshaft of the car engine)
There are reasons why you want to move around.
Maybe some don't think of it, but how you feel and how your body is, could differ from day to day.
You wouldn't be dead static in normal life, so why should you be it on a bike.
I can say right away, i could never be that. The absolutely largest issue i have, is how i am forced to sit.
Most of the ride im sitting in same position, but there is parts where i want a freedomt to be able able to move, especially when there is long rides (like the ride i had in Saturday , 200km and 1900m climb), and when there is changing terrain... So dont like saddles that dont let me freedom of movement, and moving on saddle on the ride dont consider as ruining of bike fit....
So i agree that is the issue when im forced how to sit...
