How to Choose the Right Frame Size
Choosing the correct frame size is essential for comfort, performance, and injury prevention. Here’s how to get it right:
- Use your height + inseam: Most brands provide sizing charts—match your height and leg length for the best fit.
- Top tube length matters too: For road bikes, reach is as important as stand-over height.
- Test ride if possible: Sizing can vary slightly between brands. If you’re between sizes, go smaller for agility or larger for stability.
- Ask your local shop: They can help with in-person fitting or recommend frame tweaks like longer stems or seat post adjustments.
🛠️ Pro Tip: Don't guess based on old bikes—geometry and sizing have evolved a lot!
