The published stack height on a P2 56 is 531mm. But that must not include things that go on top. I am not talking about spacer.
How much should you add to the stack number to get an accurate height for elbow pads?
I am trying to figure out if you have a 35" inseam and use the standard formula for saddle height and the standard formula for drop then how many spacers would you have on a 56 P2 and a 56 P3.
Right now I am at 770mm saddle height and a publish stack for 56 P2 of 531 which is a 24cm drop. But there is no way. There must be 5 or 6 cm above published stack where the pads would actually be located.
Thanks for any help. I really appreciate it.
depends on the aerobar, i think someone started a thread trying to catalog the stacks of popular ones.
It depends on your stem length/angle, as well as your specific cockpit configuration.
It’s a simple matter to measure the drop on your current P2.

I am at work and not with my bike. So can’t measure. I will when I get home.
When you do, you can compare your drop to the expected range in the FIST articles. (Keep in mind, this depends on not only your saddle height, but also your STA.)

I found a couple examples. One was 110mm. So now everything calculated off my inseam and using the standard formula for drop I would still need about 120mm of spacers. Which I find amazing. This is on a 56 P2.
It is somewhat surprising how low they made the P3 and P4. If I used a 20cm drop I would still have a stack of spacers. Or possibly I figured something wrong.
I want to go through it all with my bikes this evening. Take actual measurements. But I am leaning towards a 58 over a 56 with the P3/P4 frame.
