Hi Ian, Here are My road bike fit numbers, please help me choose between size S or M on the Speedmax CF 8.0 Di2,
The site has me in a small but does not take half inch measurements. I have never ridden a Tri bike, but been riding a road bike for years. Canyon calculator has me in small with 32 inseam and in medium with 33” inseam.
My Measurements:
Inseam is 32.5
Height 5’11”
Weight 200
Flexibility low to medium
I had a road bike professional fitting few years back here are my numbers.
Saddle height over crank 75.3 CM
Saddle set back -4.8
Drop from saddle to handlebar top -4.3
Nose of saddle to stem center 48.6
Nose of Saddle to lever Hood 65.8
Handlebar angle 25.4
Saddle Horizontal Tilt -2.5
Crank 170mm
Thank you in Advance
Ari,
Lots of good info in here, thank you.
I think your Pad Y is roughly 630 and your Pad X is roughly 486. The best Canyon Speedmax CF 8.0 Di2 for you is the Medium. Both sizes (Small & Medium) will meet you for your Pad Y but the in terms of the cockpit distance the small's Pad X maxes out at 472. With the Medium you'll still have some room to move up/down/longer/shorter in terms of the front end and the seat height will meet you perfectly as well. I think you're writing in from the U.S. and I see that the Medium in the bike you want is in stock so there's no need for me to blather on about how to make the Small work with a longer stem if stock is low.
So, let me know blather on about a couple other salient issues:
1) that bike's gonna arrive with 175mm cranks on it. I think you should be on 165s or 160s so equip yourself to make that swap from the moment you unpack the box so you can sell the 175s as new, never ridden. Within that process you'll have to choose chain ring sizes (53x39 or 52x36 or 50x34) I can help with that decision if you want advice. Also, since you're making this change you should consider power in the process if your budget allows.
2) Bike comes with a Fizik Mistica, a good saddle, many love it. You have to be able to sit comfortably on the first half of that saddle to make this bike/position/sport work.
Get back to me here with questions if/when you have 'em.
Ian
Hi Ian,
Thank you for comphernsive and quick reply, so much good info there and so helpful, yes I’m in the US and will be ordering a medium.
As far as cranks which size would you recommend 165 or 160? 53x39 or 52x36 or 50x34, ( my Tarmac Now Has 52/36 and 11-30 cassette ) would love some advice, will also send the new crank to 4iiii for power meter install, do you think it makes sense to get a durace crank since I’m buying a new one anyway and price difference is about $120.
Thank you so much for your input and help.
Sincerely
Ari
