The legs should not be extended full without a bend in the knees.
The angle of the seat back is important too.
I think a test drive at Sunset OEX is a must first step.

Regarding pdeal length, I followed this advice from several other sources. 2017 new model outback. I was “bottoming out” the pedal on each stroke, and after two trips noticed that the tiny Peg that holds the split ring ( The one that holds the fin pins in place) against the body had been completely sheared off, and the split rings had been mangled.
Not sure if that’s a design flaw in this specific year model, or maybe I was just kicking too hard at the end of the full range of motion, but I switched back to a pedal setting slightly longer, and just hold back from Fully straightening my legs. Curious if anybody else has had a similar experience.
