Bike Sizing
There is no perfect formula for determining the size and orientation of bikes, there are many rules of thumb, but actually it is a very personal thing, a bike settings. You're the only one who can determine the ideal installation.
So, here are some golden rules: Your seat height should be set so that your leg almost fully extended at the bottom of the pedal stroke. The proof of this session on the bike against the wall. Place your heels on the pedals and pedal back, the legs should be fully extended to the bottom. Most people, places too little, I've seen "cycle safety" manuals recommend that you use your seat is low enough that you have both feet on the ground sitting on the ground (Note: If this is done). Low seat height is a major cause of knee injuries in cycling.
You can change the tilt of the seat to loosen the clamp for the screw. Most people feel comfortable when the seat is slightly tilted forward, but it is primarily a matter of personal taste. He was comfortable the seat tilted back.
Stem height preference is something else that most people feel more comfortable if the amount of stem cells of approximately the same as a seat, the height of the Chief of horses more upright lower angles. Mountain bikes tend to indicate that the growth of the handlebars a bit higher than the seat in an upright position for riding position.
Stem extension is a measure of how far in front of the head tube of the root has a steering wheel. It can not be installed without having to buy a new stem, but you can order a good bike shop to replace the barrel on the bike again. If he feels like the steering wheel too far away, a tribe with a short extension (GM) may be good for you. If you have a long torso, longer extension might help.
If you have dropped handlebars, the tendency to a bar can also be adjusted, as a rule, the lightning in the trunk of that wheel clamps. Typically, the end of the rod should be at a point somewhere between the upper and middle part of the rear wheels, but this advantage. Some people do crazy things with the grid, which gets into the air with them, or vice versa. I recommend, but contributes to impalement. Also, always filled at the end of the bars, when you connect the game with a driving belt, stylish cap extension or champagne cork.
Here are its parameters. Always remember that your ideas are more important than rules of thumb, if you feel more comfortable, especially for long-distance travel, with non-standard configuration, with all means. And all the money riding on a bicycle!
