Anyone got any advice for choosing an MTB frame size based on a road bike fit please? Should the saddle be in the same place on both styles of bike?
I have a 54cm Trek Emonda which Scherrit thought was a touch too big, I'm now looking at a Surly Karate Monkey [as a first MTB] and I'm on the cusp of small or medium at 172cm/just over 5'7. If I run my road saddle position [705mm BB to mid-saddle, 47mm of saddle layback], then I reckon the small is the right size.
Can anyone offer any advice? I can share my full road fit if it helps.
Thanks in advance!
