Bike fit and Frame Size Calculations

by StewartC on June 18th, 2009
Hey Guys, I've noticed a few people interested in frame sizes and bike fittings, I'm sure someone would have put this up before. There are lots of different ways to skin a cat.. If you have a different method, what is it? 1. Find your inseam length: feet 5cm apart and measure all the way up to the pubic bone 2. Calculate frame size: Frame size = inseam (cm) x 0.65 www.aeromaxteam.com Everyone has a limit... Not everyone finds out where it is!

Bike Fitting (Chicago)

by grosso27 on March 11th, 2009
Hi all, hope this gets noticed...didn't look like the cycling forum is too active these days. I have done my due diligence in reading the forums & learning about bike fit, and I have come to the conclusion it's just not something I can do myself...I'm currently not comfortable and can't pin it down. This is for a road bike fitting, by the way.

Bike fitting protocol / recommendations

by kscel on February 12th, 2009
Does anyone have any recommendations for a bike fitting to get the most out of it? What should you tell the coach? Or do you just show up and let them guide you?

Aero Position Analysis

by WillRace4Food on January 17th, 2009
I've been into triathlon for several years and I've finally decided to attempt riding in the aero position this season. Most of my training is on hilly terrain but I'm going to try racing this season using my road bike with an older modle Profile Airstrike clip on. I picked up a Nito forward position seat post and a Forte' T2 triathlon saddle.

Bike Fit: Neck Pain

So, the girlfriend had some issues with neck pain on our ride last Saturday. Not sure if this is just a stress thing, or a distance thing, or we need to adjust something.

Should I get a fit for my bike?

by Pete L. on May 7th, 2008
So I've got a tri-bike that I've been on pretty much exclusively since last summer. I've put a few thousand miles (not 10 or anything) on it, and I've never really felt all that comfortable on it. Its okay, but not great. I'm racing CdA end of June, and was wondering what you guys think about getting fit. Should I not change things this late in the game?

Spacers under handlebars (perhaps over?)

by cjhoffmn on April 23rd, 2008
I've been adjusting my bike fit a little this week. After all my base training this winter, it seems I'm getting more comfortable leaning over a little more, so I wanted to lower my handlebars.

Determining the Correct Bicycle Size

by Matt Russ on July 15th, 2006
There is one type of bicycle that is extremely hard to fit-- a bicycle that is the wrong size for the athlete. I sometimes have cyclists coming from out of state for a bike fitting so I like to do my homework before they make the trip. This means ensuring they are on the correct frame size and it can be a little tricky.
