Hi Ian,
First, hope you’re healing well from the hip replacement. Rest up! Second, my previous fit questions were split into several questions/responses, and got “lost” in the forum. So I wanted to re-summarize:
As mentioned previously, I’m fairly certain I fit the “alien build”: long legs, long arms, short torso.
Here are some dimensions from my most recent fit:
- BB to middle top of saddle - 835mm
- Saddle tip to center of handlebar - 585mm
- Drop from saddle to pad top - 9.5mm
- Saddle tip to aerobar tip - 860mm
Also, from my fitting I’ve got the following additional dimensions re: Pad X/Y:
XY Tool - HB - X = 476 mm, Y = 660 mm
XY Tool - Rail - X = 202 mm, Y = 755 mm
I believe those XY measurement are to the handlebar, whereas I’m most interested in the pad locations (as most of my ride time will be in aero). Given these dimensions (seat height and drop to pad top), with a seat tube angle of 80.5 degrees, I’ve “back calculated” my arm pad stack to be 814mm (thanks high school trigonometry)! But that seems pretty high.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but it seems like the best fit, from my calculations, would be a Speedmax CF 8 DISC in Large, with a max armpad stack of 757 mm?
My two biggest concerns are:
(1) Is there an option that will work with the pad drop? Based off my initial review of the geometry chart, I’m going to need all of the spacers to get the max armpad stack of 757mm. Related: are the spacers included with the bike? It’s unclear from Canyon’s website whether spacers are provided or, alternatively, where to purchase them.
(2) Are the aerobars long enough?
I’d love your thoughts. Thanks as always!
