Riding is a wonderful thing, but for beginners, an improperly set-up bike can take a toll on your ride .
So before you buy a new bike and are ready to start your cycling journey, take a look at this guide to making your bike more comfortable and less harmful to your body.
Rider height is the main factor when it comes to finding your correct size. The best place to start is a mountain bike size chart. Check our helpful size chart below or look at model-specific charts published by a manufacturer on their website.
Alpha size | XS | S | M | L | XL | XXL |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Frame size | 13-14” | 15-16” | 17-18” | 19-20” | 21-22” | 23” |
Rider height | 145-155 cm 4’9”-5’1” | 157-165 cm 5’2”-5’5 | 167-178 cm 5’6”-5’10 | 170-185 cm 5’11”-6’1” | 187-193 cm 6’2”-6’4” | 194cm+ 6’4”+ |
This chart is a great starting point, but isn’t always the definitive answer due to varying frame geometry and riders having unique proportions.
The main wheel sizes available on mountain bikes are 26”, 27.5” and 29”. Choosing the right wheel diameter for you can help narrow down your search and help you find the perfect bike to fit your needs.
While the old standard for mountain bikes was 26”, the cycling world has embraced larger wheels because of their improved traction and ability to roll over obstacles. Bigger wheels will roll easier over obstacles than smaller wheels and can maintain higher speeds on rough terrain.
Fast downhill bikes almost always come with 29” wheels. Large wheels also have a larger contact patch, meaning more rubber touches the ground to boost traction. Bigger isn’t always better, though. The medium 27.5” wheel size is ideal for riders nimble handling for better agility.
Whether it is a mountain bike or a road bike, or even an urban leisure scooter, brakes are an indispensable part, and the role of the brake system is related to the safety of the entire riding process. The editor will bring you some basic common sense about bicycle braking system today, so that more novice riders who are new to bicycles can understand the importance of braking, so as to better achieve safe riding.
