Saddle Height and Varying Factors

Saddle height can be generated using several suggested calculations, average angles and interesting tools. Here are some considerations to examine.

Inseam x .883 = Height calculated from top saddle Center to center of bottom bracket.

Inseam less 100 mm for Center top saddle to center of BB

The Holmes method recommends that knee angle be between 25° and 35° when the pedal is at bottom dead centre in static.
