Default recumbent fit?

Tom,
Thanks for the advice. Am sure I don't want to do "leg presses", as that
sounds like a recipe for joint problems.
I interpret "20° minimum knee bend when pedaling" to mean that my knee
should never come within 20° of becoming straight, yes?
Have been playing with the seat adjustment, and think I was at less than 20°
yesterday, but more than that today.
Thanks again,
Kerry


No, that's not what it means. I find that I have huge knee problems
when I can't get my leg almost straight when I pedal, but for many
people having a few degrees of bend when the leg is extended more or
less will not hurt. As always YMMV. Humans, deviating from the
specification for 13 million years.
