That one just translates position. I think the Mavic one was developed for riders swapping over brands but without wanting to have the fuss of trying to mimic the setup. Tools like that I am sure are very expensive, but even for us humble chippers it would make set up a lot easier. I look forward to you posting the video of the tool in use.

Thank You and good luck in the Ronde! Brian Michael, does the jig measure saddle height straight up, 90 degrees from the bb, or do you measure along the seat tube?

Those are an amazing invention that would make bike fitting that much easier! If there isn't a patent on those I'd be tempted to steal the design. Michael,
