Bike Frame Size
If you are purchasing a bike you want to make sure you have the correct size for you. First stand barefoot with your back against a wall wearing what you would normally wear while ridding a bike. Next you will place a ruler of book between you legs and pull it all the way up so it touches what you are wearing say byclcle shorts etc and mark the wall on the top of the ruler or book and step away. Now measure the distance in centimeters from the mark on the floor and this will be your inseam measurement. You will then calculate the the inseam measurementby 0.65 for bike frame. convert road bike size to you ideal mountain bike size if needed, then subtract 10 centimeters from the road bike size. Convert this measurement into inches and you will have your mountain bike frame size.
