I ride 172.5 cranks so the difference is only .64 and after subtracting the .3 they recommend for clipless pedals the numbers are even closer. Just wondering what your saddle height from center of bottom bracket is currently. The difference could just be that you are a toe pointer when you pedal.
The 109% method has me at 81.2cm but my saddle height currently is 89.5cm. I haven't tried the .883 method.
I am not a toe pointer, my feet are pretty flat through the stroke.
