Just curiosity really - how high is your saddle from the floor? Everyone comments on mine being in the sky! 104cm.

Out of interest I quickly had a measure as I needed to pop out to the bikes anyway.
The XC is 106cm, El Guano is 109.5cm and the roadie is 103cm.0 -
Impressive! I suppose height would help lol, am 6ft with 35 leg, BB height is about 13 inches.0

I'm 182cm, so just a few mm shy 6ft (if anyone asks it's always 6' ) Leg I don't know precisely and don't have a tape measure to hand but always seemed I have relatively long legs for my height. No idea on BB heights on the XC or roadie and I've just locked up, although I know the El Guano is 13.4 inches after all the faff it's been :roll:
For me the heights are just about bang on. Comfotable and efficient.0 -
Hybrid MTB: 99cm
Full suss MTB: 106cm BB height :33.5cm/13.2in
I'm just under 6ft too.0 -
My I drive is a bit higher, but sags of course.0

No idea how high mine would be sagged, i'd guess a good 10cm lower? I keep the saddle height the same running the rear locked out though as it's spot on.0

10cm lower through sag? Seems quite a bit, or maybe not, I don't know.
The real height that matters is the distance from BB to saddle though, assuming there's no funky suspension design at work it should stay constant right?0 -
Maybe, was just a guess. I don't know that it stays a static distance from the BB though, I can feel the distance to the pedals decrease if I'm sat down and go through a dip. No funky pivot system, it's FSR.
Someone more intelligent can correct me.0 -

Yeah, I dunno either to be honest, just that there's a big metal tube between the BB and saddle on my bike at least so that distance won't change, but the relative height I guess could if the angles are changing through the travel? Too late on a Sunday to think about these things properly though.0 -

112cm, pretty much the same on all my bikes. I'm 6'5" with pretty long legs and 19" frames on the mtb's so my saddles are sky high!YT Wicked 160 ltd
