So i had a bikefit 3 years ago, on a retul mûve bike, and based on that the bike fitter advised what bikes i should look for.
The stats were:
Height 6f4', (194 cm),
Stack: 590-606
Reach: 430-445
Eff saddletube angle 78 degrees.
Based on these stats he went to: https://www.slowtwitch.com/stackreach/index.php
And looked up and what would fit, essentially being Felt B series, Shiv and Scott plasma.
I went with a Felt, and everything has been fine (though i feel like the aerobars are a bit too short). I am now looking into getting a new bike, and have a hard time understanding these fit coordinates, and if I am limiting myself too much by these numbers.
So what should i look for when buying a new bike?
Also the above fit, was maybe more of an ENTRY level fit in triathlon, if i wanted a more aggressive bike fit, would i still be looking for same stack/reach numbers?
Is there a more updated database with stack/reach measurements of different bikes?
Are there diff stack/reach numbers?
For example if i go to Canyon webpage their size L says: arm pad reach 498 - 572* and arm pad stack 628 - 681. So what is the difference between with and without "arm pad", and what should i look for when finding a bike?
This page: https://geometrygeeks.bike/bike/canyon-speedmax-cf-slx-9-0-2017/ list the normal stack reach of the speedmax and based on that it would be a bad fit due to reach being too "long", is that correctly interpreted? Seeing that the reach it too "long" even on the small frame, i think i must be misinterpreting the data in some way.
