At 5...I'm never sure about my reach and sizes. At 5' I'm sure I'm not the smallest person ever to road ride,- the only pre-requisite on choosing my current road bike was that it matched the size of my other road bike what I broke... I do wonder if the bikes I have - and the changes in size would makd a difference in handling as I do feel cumbersome going round dodgy corners.<br /><br />MxHedge Bandithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12098894175810310093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-797640338738289530.post-91685207905080396572013-03-03T22:40:27.287-05:002013-03-03T22:40:27.287-05:00I could go all day on this subject.
The BB drop,...I could go all day on this subject. <br /><br />The BB drop, seat tube angle and axle to crown on the fork play into this also. Many bikes that dont climb well have too short of a reach, also what goes up really well doesn't often go down worth a lick. It's all trade offs and you have to find a ballance. <br /><br />I actually had to re-assemble a bike that I thought fit me very well just to take measurements. That bike climbed very well but took lots of "massaging" to ride the tech and downhill. I ended up with a compromise of the two fits. Probably the fit is right where I was intended in the first place. Funny how 2 bikes with the same geometry can be totally different.Rigidnsinglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11017828086991100657noreply@blogger.com
