Translate rider-physics-data onto Frame-geometry...

  • Hey folks,

    Theres this question that I just cant find satisfying answer to...
    I do well know how angles etc. affect the ride-feel of a Frame etc. However I´m missing information on how a Builder transfers parameters like torso-length, inner-leg-length, arm-length etc. into the Frame-geometry so that the Parameters that are essential for the fit (like TT /ST-lentgh, ST-angle and HT-lenght) as well as weight-distribution and balance are spot on.

    I´m not satisfied with charts that tell me "thisandthatlenght" equals "thisandthatlengthoftube..."
    Since I think that a lot of parameters like balance or weight-distribution as well as simple a proper wheelbase are not respected in such a way of determining a "proper fit"

    So heres my Issue:
    Can someone recommend proper literature etc. on this topic? Or explain some things to me?
    I´m going crazy not getting the information I want reading texts like the Coni-manual or others.
    HELP DESPERATEL NEEDED . . . :D

    I´d be glad!
    thanks a lot!

  • Bike fitter will work this out for you

    Just taking your body proportions into account isn’t enough, core strength, flexibility, and other physical issues/medical conditions need to be factored in.

  • and emotional conditions

  • i know, i know...

    The thing is: I want to learn it myself.

  • Go on a bike fitting course?

  • I was hoping someone could give me some advice on good literature etc. Thanks!

  • I think that a bike fitter is interested in the contact points. And how you hold a ridable position on the bike for the length of time your rides are.

    The frame builder will work with these contact points and use frame geometry to get the ride feel you’re after.
