3. Fit
NOTE: Correct fit is an essential element of bicycling safety, performance and comfort. Always have your
dealer make the adjustments on your bicycle; or, if you have the experience, skill and tools, have your dealer
check your work before riding.
WARNING: If your bicycle does not fit properly, you may lose control and fall. If your new bike doesn’t fit,
ask your dealer to exchange it before you ride it.
A. stAnDover height
1. Diamond frame bicycles
Standover height is the basic element of bike fit (see fig. 2). It is the
distance from the ground to the top of the bicycle’s frame at that point
where your crotch is when straddling the bike. To check for correct
standover height, straddle the bike while wearing the kind of shoes in
which you’ll be riding, and bounce vigorously on your heels. If your crotch
touches the frame, the bike is too big for you. Don’t even ride the bike
around the block. A bike which you ride only on paved surfaces and never
take off-road should give you a minimum standover height clearance of
two inches (5 cm). A bike that you’ll ride on unpaved surfaces should give
you a minimum of three inches (7.5 cm) of standover height clearance. And
a bike that you’ll use off road should give you four inches (10 cm) or more of clearance.
2. Step-through frame bicycles
Standover height does not apply to bicycles with step-through frames. Instead, the limiting dimension is
determined
by saddle height range. You must be able to adjust your saddle position as described in
B
without
exceeding the limits set by the height of the top of the seat tube and the ”Minimum Insertion” or “Maximum
Extension”
mark on the seat post.
