I've played with one years ago, but it wasn't all the help I expected it to be. And I had to put in all the exacting measurements for each frame.

As for saddle setback, I don't try to base that on the other bikes, I just ride the bike and move it till it's where I want it. If when I pedal hard I slide too far forward in an unintended way, then I try to decide if that's the dynamic forces of pedaling trying to keep me in the right relation to the BB or if my reach is off. Might be tilt for some if they angle their saddles, I keep my saddle pretty level.
Yeh I'm aiming to get the same position that allowed me to get "unweighting sensation" when pedaling hard that Steve Hoggs talks about..

I got it my forme victeur... But cant seems to get it on my planet X frame... which is why I'm trying to get the same measurements... using old number measurements to the planet X
