Got a Retul fit today on my specialized Shiv and am pretty happy with my position but wanted to get some community help to further understand the fit numbers. Also my wife has given me to go to purchase a new bike for my 30th Bday and was wondering which bikes I should aim for based on my fit.
The printout had listed my
Arm Pad Stack BB: 554 mm BB vertical to top of arm pad
Arm Pad Reach: 433 mm tip of saddle horiz to back of arm pad
Arm Pad Reach BB: 424 mm BB horiz to back of pad
Arm Pad Drop: -121 mm cen of saddle to arm pad top, —denotes pad lower
Saddle Height: 682 mm BB to center of saddle profile
I am currently as slammed as I can go on the bars using an alpha X and the slammed kit.
The fitter said I was lower than what he fits most people too but my back is still not really flat, i.e. about 2 in of room between the tail of my helmet and my back.
Really appreciate all yalls input and I can add more info or track it down as needed.
Thanks again.
