An earlier poster described the 'heels on the pedals' method, which requires the rider to know what a 'reasonable' bend in the knee looks and feels like. I will be the first to admit that left to my own devices, I am more likely to set my saddle too low than too high. There are more specific formulas involving carefully measuring your femur and multiplying by a constant (for some reason 1.09 is in my head) and that may be a valid starting point for experimentation.
