Hi everyone – newbie here! so I’m on the cusp of 3XS and 2XS.. I measured my inner leg length at home and couple of times I got 70cm, which would put me in 3XS, otherwise I’m in 2XS with 71cm. Knowing general rule of thumb is to size down, should I do that here?
For reference, I can ride both 44 and 49 on Specialized Roubaix. But the top beam on 49 would be touching my crotch (hence the 2XS would be like that too for me), whereas the 44 would leave me lots of space in between and hence I felt more confident when getting on/ off. But I’m also new to road biking. Thoughts?

If say that as you are on the upper end of 2XS in terms of height, go for the 2XS size. Your relatively short leg length to overall height can be adjusted by saddle height
You are very clearly in the 2XS area. I would stick with 2XS. The 3XS might leave you feeling a bit cramped.
