I tend to move my saddle height around between 83cm-84cm depending on
how my knees are feeling. Last year, I was recovering from a broken
leg, and I had to lower it a bit to 83cm.

Not me. I wasn't aware of it. My diffe

I like to use the method of putting the heels of your bare feet on the
pedals and setting seat height when your leg is fully extended at 6:00
position. For me, this works out to PBH- 10-11 cm
Hi all:
Thanks for the responses and the clarifications. I will try to raise
my saddle gradually and just test how I feel. Again, I appreciate the
thoughtful responses.

My PBH: 87cm, SH: 76cm. 11cm difference
My saddle height was established 10 years ago during two training camps and
bike fits at the Boulder Center for Sports Medicine with Dr Andy Pruitt and has
been spot on for my comfort ever since. There is no black magic to Rivendell's
fit formula, it's ab
PBH: 91cm, SH: 80cm.
I have four bikes and the saddle is at the same height on all of them.
I ride two of the bikes with platform pedals and two with SPDs. Like
others have said, the RBW system is a great starting place and get

Works well for me:
PBH: 89cm, Saddle Height 79cm.
If I go through all the "LeMond formulas" (which I believe came from a
French cycling team he road for early on) I end up at 79cm.

It worked perfectly for me; 89.2 PBH and settled on a saddle height of
79.3.

The formula is spot on for me. PBH 81.5 SH 71.
I check it by putting the heel of my foot on the pedal with that crank
rotated to about 6 or 7 o'clock; if my leg is fairly straight and my
hips don't rock up/down while trying to keep my heel on the pedal,
then the saddle height is about right for me

There's a lot of variation in this and a lot of factors (e.g., how
far your saddle is pushed back), wheth
