@dinoideasمنذ 8 سنوات is it ok if the stand over height of a dirt jump bike is shorter than what i would require if i would consider a crosscountry bike? i ride to the trail which is like about 11 km frm home

@EndreWinWinمنذ 8 سنوات Awesome how he's talking about beeing relaxed on the bike with that statue of a bike-rider on the saddle.

@alonsodelapava4094منذ 10 سنوات Great video. Thnks !! I want to ask you something. I do mainly cross country. Should the seat be leveled at the height of the handlebar? I am currently riding a 29er, size frame 19.5 (Height 6.2" and leg measurement 35"), however I feel my seat is way to high compared to the handlebar. is that ok? ....وسعت

@grumpynerdمنذ 6 سنوات I think the traditional road racer plumb bob test is somewhat unreliable, particularly for mountain biking. In isolation, what you are adjusting isn't id="hidden4" class="buttons"> how the leg puts down power to the pedal, but the fore-and-aft distribution of rider weight, which is both more critical and more variable offroad. I suspect this test might be useful for setting a limit for how far forward to put the saddle, but often you might want the weight a little further back than that. Also testing saddle height by one leg is unreliable because people can be asymmetrical in leg length and hip flexibility. In fact I have doubts about any static test. What you want to do is observe the height at which your hips start to rock as you pedal, and set the maximum height a little below that. In practice on the trail you'll often drop the seat quite a bit lower, and *this will also move the seat forward*, which is another reason to set the seat a little further back at maximum seat post extension. Fitting mountain bike is bound to be an iterative process. You can fit two identical riders exactly the same in the shop and what they experience on the trail is going to be different. So a procedure like this is a good way to set a starting point and to establish some limits, but a trail rider is going to have to learn to adjust his fit to conditions. ....وسعت 12

@andidastv4607منذ 6 سنوات Hi I'm 5'8 and i got large 19 frame with 27.5er.
Do you think medium 17 frame would be better?
@

@rjsal246منذ 7 سنوات I'm just about 5'6 and got a small frame rather than a medium is there any downsides to that? 3

@danielknauff5905منذ 6 سنوات Im 6'0 and have a( large 29 in.) I want to purchase. Will this bike be big enough for me
@

@arti9734منذ 8 سنوات As a full suspension, downhill rider, do I need to fully extend my leg like the hardtail position?
@

@Ivloddedمنذ 6 سنوات The bike is just a tad too small for Eddy in my opinion, but sure that goes down to personal preference 4

@Woogmoogمنذ 8 سنوات I need a little help, I was riding my bike last weekend and we did like 22 miles, but in the middle of the course started a huge back pain along with some id="hidden5" class="buttons"> pain on the sides of my hip. I know that my bike fit isn't right but I can't seem to find a good fitting with it. My current bike is an old Kona Coiler which is supposed to be more all mountain than DH bike due to its geometry and travel of both suspensions. Ok that said my problem is, with a lower saddle it seems that there's no pain but I lose a humongous amount of power going uphill when needed. With the saddle higher I have more power but still I'm not able to keep up with hardtail bikes. So I'm kind of a little lost on what I need to do here. Thank you guys! ....وسعت

@hanialzaid8460منذ 8 سنوات would you recommend using a smoother tyre with the trainer?
isnt a mountain bike tyre too noisy? and wouldnt the trainer eat at the MTB tyre? 1

@williamsantiago7303منذ 10 سنوات I feel like I'm riding on the very top of the bike because my saddle is above the handle bars. I'd like my handle bars to be alot higher than they id="hidden6" class="buttons"> are and I have a thread less neck and I don't see alot of room to pull them up. When I'm riding I feel like my handle bars are down by my feet and I feel like i'm top heavy.I rode bmx all my life and the set up is totally different. This is going to take time to get use to. I'm 6'2" at 235 on a 26" bike.I need a taller neck and wider bar,any advise ....وسعت 3

@sherifYZFr1منذ 10 سنوات I have a full suspension mountain bike but only use it on the road, any ideas on how to setup this bike to make it better for me? Cheers 3
@

@Hardcaslteمنذ 6 سنوات lol just sounds funny: As you can see Eddy can't get back off the bike, and that's how we know the saddle height is set appropriately. 7

@kristoffervergara1982منذ 9 سنوات Performance Bicycle I'm a beginner and i felt some wrist pain over a few kilometers of ride on the stock straight handlebar of my bike. I replaced it, now I'm using a 720mm hi-rise handle bar and the rise i think is about 25mm-30mm and the stem is about 100mm. I still feel a little wrist pain. Do i have to change the stem or just make some adjustments?.. ....وسعت

@memelord2286منذ 8 سنوات Hello, I am 178cm with a slightly longer than average torso. Would a medium sized Giant Stance fit me? 3
@

@jonienglish3231منذ 7 سنوات i remember when stem lengths were 150 mm -130 mm the norm

@

@tahntalusمنذ 9 سنوات Ok so I watched the video and it was a complete fail for me. My left foot rests firmly on the pedal when fully extended. My seat has been raised as high as it will go. Does this mean that my bike is too small? 2

@dedoderecho5344منذ 8 سنوات Performance bike on south Blvd in Charlotte has the most rude mechanic. When I went in to have my wheel tried he told me that he was tired of truing wheels id="hidden12" class="buttons"> for cheap customers like me who could not afford a decent $800 wheel set. I told him he would be out of the job if it was not because of customer so he needed to have his manners check before voice his hate towards those helping him get a check. Then he told me to get over it.the manager was not in according to him. I go to bike source now where people are helpful! ....وسعت
