Need some advice on how to make my daughter's bike fit more comfortably for her.
Issues at the moment are - lever reach, crank length, distance between saddle and bars.
I've already fitted a much shorter stem but she is finding the brakes impossible to use when riding on the hoods.
I can't find many reasonable options for shorter cranks that will take the current chainrings, would a short MTB crankset work better?
Her knees hit her elbows when in the drops but the bars are already fairly wide for her size.
Could I use a setback post spam around 180 degrees to bring her closer to the bars or will that make pedalling uncomfortable?
