I never said it was the "standard" or the "best way to fit a bike". I did say it was a good value to compare frames, or the best way, at least to me to understand how a frame would fit if you cannot ride it 1st.
For example if I am riding a 55 kilo tt, and want to see how it will compare to a 54 bk. I can compare stack and reach.
Another example. I once used a stack and reach calculator (that also includes stem / spacers) to figure how exactly how many spacers I would need under stem my to change from a positive rise stem to a thomson 0 degree stem.
Or by having stack and reach I can figure out exactly what will change when changing from a 5 degree 100mm stem to a 10 degree 80mm stem.
That is only a few examples, but importantly its to compare frames.
I posted this thread asking for the fork length of a specific bike. That is all. Scrod said he was going to check it out when it got a chance, and that should of been it. Then I was bombarded with a bunch of nonsense about how this is all irrelevant, and that is not the correct way to fit a bike. And here is the correct way. And now it's been discovered that it only applies to tri bikes, etc. It's like everyone around here needs to prove how much they know about bikes.
I'm not a bike fitter. Never will be. Don't want to be. Don't care. I do know my body, what frames I have ridden, and what I had to do to make them comfortable. Which ways I do this, what does it matter to anyone else? Didn't mean to be a dick. Just have small tolerance when it comes to grammatically challenged people that contribute nothing and think they are funny.
Anyways, if you can still grab the fork length / ATC / Axle to crown, that would be great. If not, no worries. Bound to find it somewhere.
Thanks.
