This is the bike fit positioning that can cause a lot of trouble and one that we recommend determining over time and with the assistance of a professional bike fitter. If you are new to cycling with average fitness and flexibility, err on the side of positioning your bars at the top of the steerer with one spacer above the stem.
This will allow options to lower the bars over time as your fitness, flexibility and riding continue to evolve. Does this position influence which size bike to purchase? That should be a secondary consideration after first determining which frame geometry is appropriate for you. If your flexibility is limited or not what it used to be , you may be best to consider a frame with endurance geometry to ensure a higher front end and a more relaxed position on the bike.
The following chart provides a rule of thumb approach to determine your bike size based on your height. If you already own a road bike and are happy with the fit.
It is good to know you bike fit basics by measuring your seat height, reach, and bar drop. Seat Height - Your seat height is the distance from the centre of the bottom bracket to top of the saddle when running the tape parallel to the seat post. See the purple line in the diagram above. Bar Reach - The distance from the front tip of saddle to centre of the bars where the stem cap contacts with the stem.
Keep the tape running parallel to ground. See the green line in the diagram above. Bar Drop - The handlebar drop is the distance from the centre of the bars to the centre of the hub.
See the red line in the diagram above. Once you have these recorded, you can then quickly check how your bike setup will work with the bike you are test riding, renting or just throwing a leg over in a store. We don't sell new road bikes, but we do work with a lot of bike brands across our global road bike rental business. We thousands of our clients up on bikes each year and based on this experience know there are lots of great bikes available in todays market, but getting that one that is just right for you is a complex.
You have to satisfy, the body, the head and the heart. We are happy to give you some unbiased advice on your road bike needs. We won't be trying to sell you a bike, we will be trying to be helpful. For most people to get the right frame size, measuring your height will suffice. However, you may find that your height is on the borderline of the range we suggest for a particular frame. This will ensure you get a comfortable distance between the handlebars and your saddle. You should also consider your inside leg measurement when choosing your bike to ensure adequate stand over height.
Stand over height is the clearance between the top tube and the bottom of your crotch. For mountain bikes we recommend a distance of inches and for road or hybrid bikes inches of clearance is required. Our bike sizing charts take stand over height into consideration but if you have a particularly long or short inside leg measurement in relation to your height you will need to bear this in mind when selecting your frame size.
The way you ride and the type of bike you are into will also impact the frame size you should choose. For example, a trail devotee looking for an aggressive ride may prefer a smaller, more manoeuvrable bike size.
It all comes down to personal preference and how the bike feels to you. Remember, the sizes given in our guides are suggestions and should be used for general advice only.
For the best possible fit we recommend popping in to your local Leisure Lakes Bikes store, or call for expert advice tailored to you. My message Close. Sale Bikes Mountain Bikes. Road Bikes. Electric Bikes. Shop by Category Accessories. Shop by Brand Cube. Five Ten.
