Achieve precision and consistency in your bike setup with the BikeFit Saddle Measurement Kit. A convenient tool for cyclists. Designed for accuracy and ease of use, this kit simplifies the process of measuring and replicating critical saddle dimensions, ensuring optimal performance and comfort across bikes.
Key Features:
- Saddle Height Measurement: Accurately measure the distance from the bottom bracket to the top of the saddle to achieve perfect leg extension.
- Saddle Angle: Place your smartphone on the kit and use a spirit level app to determine the perfect angle.
- Setback Alignment Tool: Determine the horizontal distance from the saddle nose to the bottom bracket for consistent fore-aft positioning.
- Reference Point Indicators: Mark and replicate key positions, such as the saddle's relation to handlebars and pedals, enabling quick and reliable transfer to another bike.
- Easy Replication Across Bikes: Ideal for multi-bike owners or DIY fitters looking to duplicate an ideal setup.

Usage remarks:
- Make sure the floor and bike is level
- Ideally use the tool with both wheels attached
- If using the tool while the bike is mounted on a smart trainer, measure center axle front and back to the floor and make sure they are equal (level)
Disclaimer:
This tool is heavily inspired by the Abbey Bike Tools Fit Kit. I designed the tool to be used by hobbyists and cyclist who would like to tweak and adjust their personal fit without spending big money on the professional Fit Kit. If you are a professional fitter, you should be using and investing in professional equipment.
If you are having bigger issues on the bike or pain and don't really know anything about bikefitting, please consider getting a professional bikefit done.
