I think this chap has an interesting take on bike fit.

The bike rotates around the BB so what is important for dynamic bike fit is the distance from bars to BB. It is a very different take than stack/reach but focuses on getting the bike setup to make it optimal for hinge positions and rowing/pushing the bars.

MTB geometry question. I currently ride a Sonder Dial M with a 60mm stem and flat bar. Saddle set up like on my road bike. Seems fine.
I want to try a Carbonda FM936 full sus frame but can't decide on S or M. Based on stack/reach alone (like I would on a road bike), the S is the obvious choice. However I feel like I'm missing something with the new age mtb geometry and 77 degree seat angle.
Should I be riding with my saddle further forward (and hence reach way less) so a M would work better?
If I bought a S, would I even be able to get the saddle into my roadie position with a 77 degree seat angle? Would it be further forward and reach too small?
