    Is this the 88% of standover height method?

  • I use the inseam height directly to measure the distance from the top of the saddle to the top of the pedal in the position where it is as far from the saddle as it can get. It is a very good predictor for me to dial in a new bike or when I use someone else's bike. I noticed this measurement is consistent across all my bikes within +/- 1 cm, even though some of them have been commuter bikes and most of them MTB. I find it indirectly accounts for different crank length and, to some extent, different geometries.

  • This is the method where you multiply your inseam by 1,09, right?

    It would be very helpful to include a summary of what this method is in your question.
