Tips for Buying a Bicycle : Right Fit and Size for New Bicycle

[Htown20XX]

I guess mine is all wrong I can put my feet flat on the floor sitting, I have 24 inch wheels, I have ape hanger handle bars so I can reach them easy. Mine is all wrong and dangerous cause I sit up straight but very low center of gravity, has mirrors and hid lights. Much safer hunched over sitting up really high with skinny tires

[4crevis]

Utter crap!

[Sniper11712]

Complete waist of my time, ya I know I have to size a bike but HOW?

[WastedAvery]

This shit was lame :0

[Tayrte]

Does anyone know a good road bike that has a maximum price of $100? I have a budget of $100.

[Evilmonkey66699]

@Tayrte There is no such thing man sorry, you may want to start saving if your looking for a good starter .

[rtabish]

"from here to here"?! where were his hands? all this is, is an advertisement for a bike shop in Upland and Cannondale....and tells us NOTHING about actually sizing a bike beyond what any idiot should already know. ..if you are tall, you need a tall bike...DUH! USELESS!

[sharkcellar]

What did I just watch?

[kriztianerozalez]

RETARDED TROLL.....DID'NT HELP ANYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!HUHHHHHGG­GG...IDIOTS...!

[Nicool333]

Good stuff thanks

[gorealestate]

a whole lot of blab about NOTHING!

[TheGanjabrother]

this guy is slowwwww

[kaberet99]

ok...easy does it responders.. I would buy a bike from mark..he's handsome and would probably be very helpful once I was in the store...he just needed more rehearsal and more info..but don't be rude about it....his job is to sell bikes and probably knows more than the video. shows..and tell me you don't have a minute to waste...??? come on...everone waste time on the computer, traffic lights, watchin YOU Tube videos.....reading in the bathroom..ect....I mean really......~!!!!!

[cardo8605]

so.........I'm 5'5", what would be a good size for me to look into? Around 51cm or 52cm??

[BrutexxForce]

I wish i had read the comments before watching this video. Shit

[xsanter]

I just wasted a minute of my life.::

[streamdvd]

I aagree with others no point to this video apart from stating the obvious

[diehardcowboys]

Hey Dude in this video!!! Everyone on this planet knows we need to buy a bike with right size. What "RiGHT SIZE" are you talking about?? Totally wasting my time on watching this stupid video!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[JonnyRakeRemix]

shit. explained nothing

[32kuri]

ExpertVillage, I got some news for you. You Suck.

[mrsaddlebag]

Not good at all .Sorry boys .You could put peole off .

[jnp43]

not helpful.

[1jks]

From here to here? Lol where? This Donkey fails.

[Degenerator1]

ummwellyeah ... expert LOL .

[marsevin]

hahaha. thanks for the comedy. Laughing is good for health.

[Stereo2030]

that helped none

[ninedfour]

obvious village

[AMSroadrunner]

Expert?

HOW BOUT NO!!!! (scotty)

[nippadj]

Thanks for putting the time in to make and post this video, but it was no help what so ever.

[Fullamoon1]

Okay but how do I determine what size bike "I" need? This video did not help me at all. Not at all whatsoever. What was the point?

[mabellchurnoopay]

I agree, useless for me. I still don't know what size to get

[TheCucamongaKid]

This video can give people with NO knowledge something to go off of when they do visit a bike shop. Maybe you didn't know road bikes come in cm measurements. Well, when you go into a bike shop, now you could say "Hey, I don't know what size I need and I understand proper sizing is important. Can you help me find my size?"

Stop being so critical. I'm not just saying this because this is the exact shop that I bought my road bike at, hahaha

[zhaneranger]

damn expert village has the worst help videos.

[jeanajaltouni]

bunch of fags!

[dalejrfan800]

They need to change their name to Retard Village, Thank you for stating the Obvious MARK! I think my I.Q. dropped 10 points.

[vollick8]

fucking fail again from Expert Village

[dalejrfan800]

no shit! haha...

[Toob41]

Wow, I didn't know that! So bikes come in different sizes and you have to get one that fits you. Gosh I wonder if this applies to shoes and hats and trousers as well. This could be where I was going wrong all this time.

[Iwannakillmylandlord]

blah blah blah...

[netpolice151]

"from here to here" when the camera is only focused on the upper part....so how do we know where is that FROM HERE.....dont ever do a video again..its a waste of time for both you and the viewers

[canadianwebsurfer]

wow was that useless.

[bcoffing]

wow... so horrible, i literally was laughing out loud... terrible, terrible.

anyone who couldn't figure out what he said on their own is in a lot of trouble.

[gruffydd1000]

useless.

[tkindl]

"useless"

....a complete waste of internet space and 1:11 of my life

[sirnubenegra]

can you say dumb tard! useless

[Marchand2]

hahaha, he keeps glancing at the bike like saying to himself " uhhh what else can I say to make this video longer" ...this actually made me laugh..

[JCPUTT]

WHAT A RACKET!!!! They got suckers buying a damned

skinny bike for 2 or 3 grand and they

try to talk super technical about it. Go to

Walmart pick up one that's just as good

for a couple hundred at the most. And

if your in shape you'll have a better ride

than those spandex covered limpwrist

trying to make a science out of riding

a damned bicycle..

[JROD9496]

No you need to buy a Diamond encrusted bikes that is worth a million dollars and ride the crap out of it...

[cyclistnomore]

they say you get what you pay for dude! if you only spend a small amount of money you will not get the durability of a more expensive bike. i bought a £700 ( $1200 us approx ) specialised hybrid road bike 5 years ago and other than some minor repairs have had no problems with it. i guarantee if you spend $200 on a bike from walmart it will be useless after a year!!!

[afromasu]

1.-dont shop at walmart ,

2-, this is a professional sport so of course they have to get scientifical if they want the best preformance while riding in a race for thousands of dollars

[docbreaker]

I look for help, and I find confusion...

[jason11ledger]

how would this help

[ssttoonneeyyyy]

i am 6'3 and i wanted to know will a 61c fit me

[cyclistnomore]

im 6' 5 and have just bought a 65 cm frame hybrid. the smallest bike ive had was a 61 and i found i still had to have the seat post raised about 5 inches. i think you should try to go for a 63 rather than the 61.

[VikingBodybuilding]

What an utter waste of time.

[g8666]

Utterly useless

[Semicton]

I never understood expert village, Even their cooking videos are all very strange and so short, that they are almost a nuisance. Do they make their videos so short with little information so they get more hits per video?

[Hbabyface81]

this video doesont explain eny thing

[geoffreygee]

I'm afraid that the fitting series really isn't very helpful. I really do think that expert village should re-think the presentation and decide what it wants to convey. At the moment, I get

(1) there are a lot of sizes

(2) bigger sizes are for people with longer legs

(3) handlebar height is correlated with aggressive/aerodynamic riding and some handling characteristics.

I doubt that any of this is news to people.

[wattheheel]

this was the most pathetic explanation of buyin a bike that guy should b working at a bottle depot what a dumbass!

[unclevit]

i don't understand anything here. sorry.

[azamora2005]

hahaha!!!! you forgot to mention that is also very impotant that the wheels are circular!!! and not more than 2!!! very important!

[gasbomb]

could they be any more useless?

[michiganmadman]

Bikes come in different sizes LOL

[simonh102]

rubbish

expert village my ass

[mkadlec99]

Haha, that was pretty funny.

[claytonmccarthy]

wow that was sure useful, i hope that these dudes make more of these vids.

expert village, go smoke another one.

these guys are stumbling for words and dont even know what to SAY????????

experts my ass

[capricious71]

Sorry, that video was not very useful.

[sirswedishmike]

not expert village. Pointless village. The whole point of this video is to explain that you need the right size bike, and that bikes come in different sizes. That can be said in a couple secounds. Also, if you are already watching a video on bike size, hopefully the viewer knows this already ... and THAT IS WHY YOU ARE WATCHING THE VIDEO!!!!! Seriously, this should be deleted and redone! Don't waste people's time, not cool! You've already wasted over 10,000 people's time. Please delete & redo.

[helipilot27]

If your going to take the time to do a video on bike fit, at least finish it! USELESS

[cj200606]

the height does change lol

[zabugor]

Wow, this is the most useless guide to bike sizing I've ever seen in my life.

[simplyblinky]

This is just plain wrong... don't listen to it

[Manado89]

Man ... this is stupid ! !

[allth3s4me]

inseam lenght to the saddle height???? wtf??!! its to the top tube!!!!

[emolosersunite]

duh!
