Hello!
I’m going to buy an Endurance CF 7 but the sizing is really a problem at the moment. I’m 170cm and have 82cm inseam. My back is quite short, arms are long as are my legs. Canyons size chart says XS or S, I’m completely between two sizes.
The others say definitely go with XS, cause Canyon runs big. Others on the other hand says it will be small and should take S. Any recommendations or similar measurements? Ps. I’m not a beginner, just buying a new bike to replace my old (and too big) Pinarello.
Thanks in advance!

If you already have a bike and know it’s too big, check out https://geometrygeeks.bike/.
You can enter your current bike and your new bike and compare what the dimensions look like. If you know the reach was too big on your current bike, you can see if the S will be short enough etc.
[https://bikeinsights.com/](https://bikeinsights.com/) is also a good tool
Assuming you have a rough idea of what you need to adjust (or at least ranges) on your old bike then I would have a look at the geometries on geometry geek. You should be able to get an idea of how the geometries compare and whether you’re more or less likely to find a suitable riding position on each size.
Keep in mind stack and reach figures don’t include spacers or the stem length, so factor that in when comparing against your old bike.
For example it might be that the reach is ok for you on both the XS and the S, but the stack on the XS is 4cm lower than your old bike, which you might not want (just examples of course).
