Quads or Hams

When you talk about "inseam", do you mean measuring the distance between crotch and floor eg by standing flat against a wall and putting a ruler or a book etc between your legs and measuring the distance? Or is there a better way?

And also, does this formula take into a account the sole of your cycling shoes?

I have difficulty getting my saddle height right so I am keen to try a new approach.

Yes, the book against the wall is the best way to measure your own inseam without a special measuring thingy (<-- technical word). I've heard differing reports about whether to measure with shoes or not. My bike fitter measured me with my cycling shoes on, since that's going to be the effective inseam once I'm on the bike.
