I have a very quick rule of thumb for saddle height. I put my arm pit on the saddle and see if the tips of my fingers reach the crank spindle. But I think the ratio of arm length to leg length is high on my body compared with most people. My fingers need to be below the spindle for the height to be right for me. Anyone want to test this theory?
