Fitting a Bicycle to You : How to Fit a Hybrid Bicycle to You

[piercelvr]

So... Not too cramped up, but not too stretched out, eh?

I've seen a few of these videos, and I'm not so sure that their village is really full of experts...

All he said was How bikes are sold and How I don't want to feel... W.T.F

[walapera1]

my bike is like that.... love it... hahaha

[JungleListSoldier]

What kind of Trek is that? Great looking bike, I want one.

With respect, that wasn't hepful at all.

DO buy a hybrid which has a couple of inches clearance between you and the frame. If you buy anything higher than that you'll look and feel like you're on a Penny-Farthing.

Adjust your seat-post so that when seated and upright your feet dangle about 6 inches from the ground. As this is a hybrid bike, the best position for the handlebar height is so that you lean gently forward to reach them. Low handlebars are best for speed, high are best for comfort.

I have the Trek 7100 bike (nice bike) and it was about $500. Of course I'm sure you could find some lesser value ones for $300 or so.

This was a good point, there is contact from the top bar when i stand, however the riding position feels great. Glad the bike shop didn't try to put me on a medium frame for that reason.

[curt883]

thank you thank you!!! I just bought a kona dew and found the smallest frame 45cm too small (I am 5' 3") sales guy said "great lots of clearance",I felt cramped on it. I went back when a old friend was working and tried a 49cm dew plus felt lots better so I ordered a 49 cm dr dew. this vid has assured me in my chose,as this is my first hybrid bike (all mtb and along time ago bmx).

[wcbombers21]

I JUST FARTED! =]

[Weavel117]

NICE!!

[wreyoG]

@wcbombers21 LMAO

[carlowdelete]

The guy didn't say anything useful. Most of what was said is common sense as opposed to actually what to look for.

This one is a waste.

[sparced]

hmm I tried a 21" frame and could stand over the bar but just about.
