I do a simple TT size measurement. I rest my elbow on the front nose of the saddle and reach forward to the handlebars. If my fingers reach the bars, good. If my fingers are short of the bar, time for a shorter stem. Fingers past the bar, time for a longer stem. I use a lot of dirt drop type stems to get the bars ~ level with the saddle.
