Thanks. I tried versions 1 and 2 and got pretty widely varying results. I have adjusted the saddle nearly all the way aft and the KOPS system still has the weight well in front of the pedal axle (1.5 to 2 inches, I'd say). I have the saddle level for now.

My barefoot inseam measures 32.5 inches, so method 2 works out to about 28.6-28.7 inches which is nearly 1/2 inch lower than the heel method. My bike is 56cm and I believe is correctly sized for me. I think the lower saddle height will work better for me based on a short test ride.

But I'm not so sure about the fore/aft saddle position yet. That seems way out of whack from the methods I've seen (including KOPS).
