A quick google return yields these 3 approaches for determining saddle height (snapshot below). Yes, I realize that these are starting points etc, but it's worth pointing out that, I actually get about the same yielded Saddletop to BB result with any of these formulas for my given inseam (84.5 cm)
Lemond: 74.6cm
Hamley: 92.1cm Saddle to Pedal spindle Minus 175mm crankarm = 74.6cm
Minus10: 74.5cm
All well and good -- seemingly pick your favorite method as they seem consistent to one another. However, my current saddle is sitting about 5 cms higher than these results at a bit over 79cm, and has been this way for a while. roughly a 2" difference seems like a lot. Anyone else this far off from what the formulas say? Wondering if having large feet (49eu) might be part of reason. None of the formulas speak to clipless cleat stack height, but I would assume they build in some type of average amount (seeing as cycling inseam is usually measured barefoot, right?
