Re: [RBW] Saddle height vs PBH

I prefer the heel on pedal method plus a few hairs up. I found Riv's recomendation of pbh -10 or 11 put me a tad high. Always felt like I was reaching for the pedals and my toes were pointed down to much for my taste. I prefer a flatter foot while pedaling. I end up around 72.5-73 with a 85 cm

Christopher: any saddle height rule is only a "rule of thumb." It's a starting point, like KOPS. Measure per Grant or whomever; ride; adjust. Patrick Moore, who has recently very slightly reduced his saddle setback over the center of the bb spindle. On Sat, Jul 29, 2017 at 5:20 PM, Christopher

[RBW] Saddle height vs PBH

2017-07-29 Thread Jay Connolly
My PBH is 95 and I run my saddles (180/178 cranks) at 85. On my Joe, I use Pedaling Innovations long pedals and push my foot further forward. The saddle on that one is at 84. (Jury still out on the overall value of the pedals, but I no longer suffer excruciating hot foot on long rides, so that

As you know, what GP summizes as a starting point for saddle height is based on his experience and assumptions. Of course, we all have our own. I don't think he means it as the one and only way, just his experience and he's passing it along. Like all fit questions, the variables are infinite,

I'm curious how many here find that Grant's "rule" about saddle height being 10-11cm lower than PBH to be true for them. My PBH is 86cm and for the longest time, ran my saddle at 75cm from the center of the cranks. Lately, I switched from clipless pedals to flats, and now that the weather is
