Pipeline

How the engine works

Each layer narrows uncertainty: first clean the input, then calculate fit values, then translate those values into practical setup guidance.

Required measurements are checked against hard limits before the fit calculation begins.

The engine calculates crank length, saddle height, setback, drop, and reach from inseam, category, flexibility, core stability, and ambition profile.

Stack and reach targets are derived from saddle and cockpit coordinates, then translated into realistic stem and spacer combinations.

Warnings flag aggressive drop, out-of-range reach, and risky saddle heights so riders can apply changes more conservatively.
