RIDE POSITION
Bike fitting is a complex subject. The following diagrams are a rough guide to get you started.
SETTING THE SADDLE HEIGHT
Set the saddle height to be roughly in line with your hip bone. You don’t want your leg fully extended at the bottom of the stroke, or so high that your hips rock while pedalling.
SETTING SADDLE HORIZONTAL POSITION
When your feet are level, the front of your knee should be roughly inline with the ball of the foot.
SETTING HANDLEBAR HEIGHT AND REACH
Set the handlebar height and reach so it is comfortable to hold the riding position, a good starting point is to have your upper arms and body at a 90 degree angle, and the bars at the same height as your saddle.
