Inseam vs. saddle height.
This is one that kind of rubs me the wrong way. i have tried a few online calculators, and they are very close to giving me the geometry that seems most comfortable for me. However, one measurement still makes me scratch my head. And that is the BB center to top of saddle measurement.
Now, I have a 35.5-36" inseam, and every calculator I have tried tell sme the best range for the BB-center to top of saddle is around 33-34". Now, I have both my bikes set up at 32-32.25" saddle height, and for some reason, I feel like I am getting enough extension, even though it almost 1" lower than every calculator suggests. As one would want, with my pedal at the bottom of the stroke, and my foot parallel to the ground, my knee has a slight bend. If I lock my knee, then my heel drops below the pedal spindle.
So, what I am wondering is what you all have your saddles set at, to give me a bit of a comparison. What is your inseam, and what is your BB-center to top of saddle measurement in comparison?
