PBH minus 11cm is a really good place to start, but many folks don't have a good measurement of their PBH. Another good way to set saddle height is to raise it to where your heels can not quite reach the pedals at the bottom of the pedal stroke, but the balls of your feet can.
Either one of these starting points may wind up putting the saddle a bit too high or a bit too low - so whichever method you use to set the saddle height, you normally have to adjust it as you ride. One way to tell if it's to high is to gauge whether your hips rock noticeably side to side as you pedal. On the other hand, your saddle may be too low if the fronts of your knees begin to hurt and your legs feel cramped as though you've been doing the limbo dance. For all-day riding, a correct/comfortable saddle height is sensitive even to changes in footwear or pedals, i.e. it has to be within a cm of the right spot or you'll feel it in your legs or back.
