What the heck is wrong with me? I am feeling like a mutant. 6 inches is 152mm, correct? I just picked a random number and stuck it in a google converter.
Crap, lemme call an assistant. Now, this will be awkward...

Thought a visual might help here. Most bike shops have this handy device and will let you sit your hiney on it for free to take the measurement. http://images.google.com/imgres?imgu...G5TYlAeYpJDHAw
I have heard of people using playdough or a bag of flour as well.

Are you measuring centre-to-centre? (That's the Canadian way to do it. Center-to-center might be best in the USA.)

That is one scary illustration. Reminds me of a chicken.

ROFL! I didn't even get to the full sized image before I cracked up!
It does look like a dancing chicken.

Eek, that is a scary image! I didn't know we had to take our skin and flesh off before sitting on the butt-meter!
And, what's with the asymmetry? Is that even possible, or are they just trying to illustrate that it doesn't matter if you center your pelvis precisely on the meter?Speed comes from what you put behind you. - Judi Ketteler

I recently was fitted at the LBS. Their contraption had a gel substance inside that left an imprint. My sitbones are know proudly displayed on the wall - my dh went in later that day and they happily pointed them out to him.

Went to the bike shop. Home with a Fizik and happy ***. Nothing grossly abnormal to report. Other than you probably wouldn't me to do anything that involves the metric system.
