Yes, for spd pedals, PBH-11cm works for me. For thin flats, like VP001 or Vice or Catalyst, it is PBH-12 to 13cm. The obvious variables are shoe thickness, your flexibility, and riding style. I would think those variables wouldn't change saddle height by more than 1cm and probably less. Joe,

[RBW] Re: How do ye determine your saddle height.

PBH minus 11cm is a really good place to start, but many folks don't have a good measurement of their PBH. Another good way to set saddle height is to raise it to where your heels can not quite reach the pedals at the bottom of the pedal stroke, but the balls of your feet can. Either one

You're going to find it varies from bike to bike with different riding positions. The more roady drop-bar the bike, the straighter you're going to be above the pedals, and the higher your saddle will be. The more upright the bike, the farther forward you need your knees, which means greater
