3.1.1. Rule of Thumb to Determine the Suitable STEVENS
Road Racing Frame Size:
Frame size stv = Inseam (length of inside leg, barefoot) x 0.66 + 2 cm
3.1.2. Rule of Thumb to Determine the Suitable Saddle
Height:
Saddle height = Inseam (length of inside leg, barefoot) x 0.885
By choosing a specific type of road or cyclocross bike you already roughly
determine the posture you will be riding in. However, some components
of your bicycle are designed in a way that you can adjust them to your
proportions up to a certain degree. These include the seat post, the stem
and the brake levers.
3.2. Adjusting the Saddle to the Correct Height
The saddle should be set to a height which gives maximum pedalling
comfort and efficiency. When pedalling, the ball of your big toe should
be positioned above the centre of the pedal spindle. With your feet in this
position you should not be able to stretch your legs completely straight at
the lowest point. If the saddle is too high, you will have trouble passing
through the lowest point and your pedalling will become awkward. You
can check the height of your saddle in the following, simple way. To do so
be sure to wear flat-soled shoes, or even better cycling shoes.
Sit on the saddle and put one of your heels on the pedal at its lowest
point. In this position your leg should be fully stretched. Make sure
your hips remain horizontal.
To adjust the saddle height loosen the binder bolt or quick-release
lever (inform yourself beforehand on how to use quick-releases in
chapter “Wheel Fastening with Quick-Releases”). Use a suitable tool to
release the seat post binder bolt by turning it anticlockwise.
Adjusting the Bicycle to the Rider
Note:
Due to the shorter seat tube
on sloping frames the seat
post must be pulled out
further than in the case of
standard frames. For this
reason it is advisable to use
a longer seat post to make
sure 80 mm of the seat post at
least remain in the seat tube.
Danger:
Never grease a carbon seat
post or the seat tube of a
carbon frame. This would
reduce the friction and render
any clamping with acceptable
clamping forces impossible.
Use special carbon assembly
paste to increase the clamping
force.
Danger: If you have a very small frame, there may be the
danger of your foot colliding with the front wheel.
Therefore, make sure your cleats are properly adjusted.
