I’ve spent some time fiddling with saddle height this year, and have landed somewhat significantly lower than I was previously set by a Retul fit. I’ve also surveyed sites like this one: https://dmcx.com/, and videos like GCN’s “Pro Bike” series, and other sites which cover pro bike setups. What I have noticed is that riders in my general height range (5’10" - 5’11") have saddle heights lower that my old Retul fit would indicate, and often they size down a frame size (which I know is a “Pro” tendency to get a shorter headtube).
With all of this in mind, I’m curious about the following two questions for those riders out there in the range of 5’10" to 6’0":
-
What is your saddle height (from center of BB to center of saddle profile)?; and
-
What frame size do you ride?
DISCLAIMER: I’m aware this is not “scientific” or necessarily helpful, give all of our individual physiological characteristics. I’m just curious to see if any of you line up in general with my preferred saddle height range, or if it varies significantly.
