This guy just explained all methodes instead of one 🎉🥰🥰

[@ShazirHassan]

Great vid! Precise and clear 👍

[@dropbaran]

6:04 for some reason many get this wrong. The test is not to be able to sit up with no hands. In a perfectly balanced position you should be able to bring your hands behind your back without changing anything else - i.e. keep the torso angle as if the hands are still on the bars. For that you also must be pedaling reasonably hard or your torso will be sinking anyway

[@victordub]

its def been taking me a lifetime...

[@uphillfreewheeler]

The second method takes no account of crank length.

[@chrishawyes1476]

Using the 109% method takes the crank length into account. If you then realy want to measure from the centre of the crank you can simply deduct the crank length.

[@dropbaran]

It doesn't matter because it produces results which are centimeters away from the optimum (and that's where 3-5 mm play role). In my case, that would be 27 mm more than what I have after numerous professional bikefits

⁠@@chrishawyes1476the proposed 109 % method gives me an error of 39 mm, lol
