What size bike should I get if I'm 5'9? |
And want a comfortable ride. Not too tall. Not too short. How many cm? Looking for a mountain bike or a road bike. Thanks. Different makes have different sizes that will fit you differently. Im about 6 ft and I a have large scott YZ0 dirt jumper. you will probably want a larger size bike you might hit your knee on the bars if you are turning sharply on a smaller one and that hurts a lot. a mountain bike For your height, get something with 24 inch wheels and adjust the seat to your comfort level. Your seat should be adjusted so that when the pedal is at the bottom, your knee is slightly bent...not locked out. Hope this info helps bike hobbyist, for health and fun. I am 5'9" and a inseam of 32", I ride a 56cm KHS Flite 2000 road bike and a Med.(M) in a KHS XC904r mountian bike. not all makes will fit you the same... I'm 5-7 and my road bike is a 54cm and my mountain bike is a small. Standover height is the first thing to consider when getting a bike--at least an inch on a road bike and three inches on a mountain bike. But there are a lot of other things to consider when sizing a bike. Go to a good bike shop and try a couple of different sizes out. Bikes in toy and department stores are "one size fits all" or advertize by wheel size. Not good. http://www.coloradocyclist.com/bikefit/i... http://www.sheldonbrown.com/frame-sizing... http://www.peterwhitecycles.com/fitting.... |
