Hi all:
Thanks for the good ideas and thoughts. I think that in trying to
pull up on the paint sticks, I was actually crouching down/leaning
forward a bit, and I also think that the tape measure was off-center.

I thought this was how everyone determined their PBH.
Or, you can use the stick and tape measure, and when you get a reading
that equals your saddle height plus 10, go with
I use a book, like some coffee-table picture book (Golden Age of ... by Jan
Heine would work well if it were thicker ...) but thick enough to simulate
the pressure of a saddle - maybe a 2x4 with a rounded top would be good. It
needs to be pushed up pretty hard, pressing against the pelvic bones.
Yes, pull up with force and off to the side. The highest value of
several attempts will be the closest to your true PBH. You can't
measure too high.

Borrow a framing square and place it against a wall before pulling it
upwards. As long as the wall to floor joint is square and you get the
square past your junk you can now easily measure your true PBH with a
tape measure. Just measure the distance between the top of the square
and the floor.
If you are buying an expanded frame model like the Sam Hillborne you
don't have to be so accurate because each frame size fits a wide range
of PBHs. I think the 52 cm Sam Hillborne fits 78PBH84.

That is the best idea I have ever heard of for measuring the PBH on your
own. The framing square should be long enough for you to get accurate
measurements. You can get an assistant to just mark a wall with a
pencil were you are squaring and measure from the wall to get your PBH.
Good idea.

A large book does the same thing, and will be more comfortable, hence easier
to shove up there.

But I think the value of the framing square is that it's so thin, it kind of
gets right up in there. Hopefully, you're not doing this often enough or
long enough that comfort is big issue...

Yes, I can see that it might, but I think the real requirement is to come as
close as possible to getting the maximum height of the ischial tuberosities
above the foot sole. They are a bit lower than some other anatomical
features of the pelvis, I think. And to compress the intervening tissue as
A 4 to 5 cm discrepancy is a very large one. I would reconfirm the
measurement process with your fine assistant and double-check the
measuring tape and conversion calculation (if any). Other than that,
wear thin and loose pants and yank that stick up severe enough that it
resembles you sitting
You must not be pulling up hard enough andwell off to the
side, if you know what I mean.
