Tire Sizes and Bicycle Rim Measurement Street bikes tend to have narrower tires and smaller inner tubes. A 26-inch bike that requires a 26 x 1.75 tire will not necessarily fit a rim whose tire requires 26 x 1 3/4 tire size. The rims are not always the same size, despite the two phr...
Mountain bikes and road bikes are sized differently. Road Bikes Road bikeframe sizes are usually measured in centimeters. Sizing differs from mountain and hybrid bikes: Men HeightSizeCentimeters 4’10” – 5’0″XXS – XS47cm – 48cm
To measure the size of a bike frame, you need to measure the length of the seat tube, from the center of the bottom bracket to the place where the seat post enters the seat tube. Another important measurement is the top tube length, which is measured from the middle of the seat tube...
Kids’ bikes are often sized based on age, but kids grow at different rates, so no 6-year-old is the same—some are tiny for their age, while others are much taller. So instead of wasting money on getting the perfect size bike through trial and error, here are three pieces of advice...
There's another use for knowing how to measure your inseam: buying a bike. Bike frames are sized according to inseam length so taller riders aren't hunched over the handlebars and shorter riders don't have to pedal on their tiptoes. Measuring your inseam for a bike is the same as measuri...
about it; if two bikes are both 52cm frames (and they’re both measured in the same way say center to center) but one has a higher bottom bracket the top tube on that frame will be higher off the ground. The spot you’re measuring from is not fixed it changes from bike to bike....
which means that 170cm people can choose a frame of 16.5-18 inches. Because the upper body posture of the road bike is more forward-leaning and the upper tube of the frame is higher (the seat tube size will be larger when measured), in order to accommodate the extendable space of the ...
Mountain bikes, road bikes and kids bikes are all measured differently. Mountain bike frame sizes typically indicate the length of the seat tube (the tube that runs vertically down from the seat). Road bike frame sizes typically indicate the length of the top tube (the tube that connects the...
The best fit for you depends primarily on your height and inside leg. That's true whatever your gender, as gender matters far less in finding the bike that's best for you than other factors. The Trek Size Finder Each bike model page has a sizing chart with frame size recommendations. Bu...
II. Bike Sizes, Types and Features Kids bikes come in sizes measured by wheel diameter, as opposed to adult bikes which are measured by frame size and seat height. Common wheel diameters for children's bikes are 12, 16, 20, and 24 inches. By comparison, adult mountain bike wheel sizes ...
