Bike fit?

Posted on
  • Just looking for bit of advice from more experienced riders here, but I bought my bike 2 years ago from the internet, and reckon the frame size is a bit small for me for a couple of reasons but a bit confused as I don't get any pain or anything... the saddle height seems quite high compared to most that I see, but the standover height seems right, about an inch clearance? This is a 57cm and I originally went by my inseam (33) to size the bike.

    With drops it prob feels a little bit much of a stretch but have good flexibility. I now have risers on the bike, and feels really comfortable to cycle. Also been reading the distance from front of saddle to bar position should be the length of your elbow to fingers, this is a bit longer so maybe I could do with a shorter stem? Have attached a pic for illustration purposes.

  • None of these fitting recommendations are rules. While they are helpful guidelines you need to find the optimum position for you. So do that, make the adjustments, bearing in mind the guidelines, as you see fit.
