That wasn't what I was asking, I was asking about their rule about inseam -10cm. It seems like an incredibly arbitrary rule for a personal fit.
That sound more like the distance between the saddle nose and centre of bottom bracket.

(in case you didnt read) HoKe's inseam -10cm is 70cm, which would make for a pretty epic layback seatpost.
Edit: or, I suppose, a recumbent -
Yes, this was another adjustment they did when adjusted my seatpost. the tip of the nose was 7.9cm from the BB, once they adjusted the seatpost to 70cm, they moved it to 5.5cm to cater for my short legs.

Thanks ed, but I know the perils of having your saddle too high.
That wasn't what I was asking, I was asking about their rule about inseam -10cm. It seems like an incredibly arbitrary rule for a personal fit.
For e.g. I have my saddle at about -3 cm, don't rock my hips, and can spin up to 140 rpm before bouncing around on the turbo.
