Hi Ian,
First off, thank you for your generosity in helping members with fit advice.
I'm looking at a SLX as my first tri bike. Here are my numbers.
Height: 182cm
Inseam: 86cm
Excellent hip mobility
Previous bike was a 2020 Giant Propel, size ML. I don't have actual pad X pad Y etc numbers since the bike is sold. The best I can offer is an estimate based on measuring various old photos of the bike using an online measuring tool. So take these numbers with a grain of salt.
Pad X: 470-480mm
Pad Y: 650-660mm
Saddle Height: 780mm
With this fit, I felt I could have moved the pads back slightly as my arm angle was 105 degrees and felt a little stretched.
Thanks for the advice.
