Hi Ian,
Thanks so much for what you've done on this thread - there's so much useful advice and test cases to look back on and compare to. It's really great to see a community working in this way, so thanks for all your passion and support for this.
I wonder if you could help me with an interesting scenario. I've taken ownership of a 2020 Speedmax CF 8.0 (rim brake version) from a friend who unfortunately injured themselves before they could get the most out of this fantastic bike. The frame size is a medium and it is currently in it's stock/factory setup with no changes at all. According to Canyon's size guidelines, I'm right up at the upper limit of what could be squeezed onto this frame size (the medium frame is potentially too small for me) but I'm wondering what I could do to make it work?
I unfortunately don't have my pad X/Y measurements as I've not yet been fitted to a tri bike (I do however have a fit booked for next week). I'm really interested in your opinion regardless, so here are my numbers and I hope you can help:
Height: 184cm
Inseam: 89cm
Saddle height on my road bike is at 80cm (which I ride a 56cm frame).
Let me know if you need any more information. Thanks in advance and looking forward to your response!
Michael
