Handlebar Reach

[Glasgow44]

Hi there

How do I measure my handlebar reach? I presume its from the tip of the saddle to the centre of the handlebars? Is that correct? Obviously there will be slight differences on the type of saddle because of where you're sitting, etc.

TIA

If it's for the purpose of comparing two bikes, it's one of a several measures you can take for comparison purposes.

The first should be the saddle height and set back from the bottom bracket.

Then your measurement, but perhaps a more relevant measure would be the saddle nose to the brake hoods or the places on the bars that you hold.

Good luck

Indeed I measure from saddle tip to brake hood
