Can someone who is (and I know many are) good with bike geometry say a few words about which of the bikes below is best for endurance cycling! My own opinion is that the Scott bike is more road race than the Trek bike, but the dealer says the Scott bike is an endurance bike! The Trek Domane I know as a former owner of one.
Thanks & Regards

Recently switched to 165 cranks, from 175. I assumed I would need the saddle 10mm higher and aft, to stay in the same relative position. But, I just saw a video where bike fitter Phil Burt says the shorter cranks allow you to get further forward, for more power. (It sounded like he meant the saddle position, not a longer reach.) So, how does the fore/aft change with shorter cranks? Should I have the saddle further fore with the 165 cranks, rather than aft (as measure from tip of saddle to BB)? (Or, is this just another one of those highly individual things?) ]]> Fitting Your Bike pakossa https://www.bikeforums.net/fitting-your-bike/1319896-175-vs-165-mm-cranks.html https://www.bikeforums.net/fitting-your-bike/1319821-between-sizes-way-go.html Tue, 07 Apr 2026 14:31:00 GMT Hi all! So I'm pretty set on the Trek Domane SL6 but between sizes. Also, I don't really have options for test rides and a fit in my area. I could drive an hour to see more inventory but really don't want to waiste a shops time and then buy local.

About me, 55, 5'11", 33.5" inseam, not great neck and kness can get weird, back on the bike last year after some years off with health issues, got up to 30 miles at 17 mph avg. I will get the fit worked out, have done it many times, but being right in the middle of sizes kinda stinks. Goals this year, improve to max 60 mile rides and 19 mph avg.

Looking at Trek I fall exactly at the top end of a 56 and the bottom end of a 58. One thing I notice is the 56 comes with a 170 crank and the 58 a 172.5 crank, my current bikes are 175 cranks. I'm leaning towrd the 58 cause I figure I can always shorten the stem from 100 to 90 for a bit reduced reach if needed. Thoughts please and thank you!
