Does anyone remember... a few decades ago, didn't we measure frame size by measuring center of bottom bracket (or crank set) to the center or top of the top tube (not the seat post)?
Usually STANDOVER CLEARANCE or stand over height to know that the bike you want is fit for you. Wow man this is great explaination. My inseam measurement is 72cm x 0.7 = 50.4 so meaning frame size 50 for me.... But i still prefer one size lower. Currently using RB size 48 & its perfectly fit for me.
Okay, ground to groin is 67cm. Multiply by .66 since I'm getting a mountain bike...44.22.... o I divide that number by 2.54 to convert it to inches? Doing that gives me 17.4. That would mean a 17 inch frame?
That’s the right size if you’re planning to be on aggressive position while riding most of the time. However you will more flexibility if you size down, as you can also adjust your body to be in more aggressive position even if your bike is one or two sizes smaller than the ideal. However you may not have much capability to be on upright at times if your frame is the exact frame suggested. I’m 5’7” and I ride a size 50 road bike. I could be on aggressive if i want to and also i could be a little upright if i want to. If I go for 55 or 56, i have little to no flexibility to be upright at times. It’s always better to downsize. You’re not a professional biker so you probably want more flexibility.
Thank you... that makes much more sense. With the videos measurements I was getting 56cm for a road bike and I'm 5'6. Looking at all the charts online my height calls for 53 and with your calculations ita spot on.
No issues with assembly for me th-cam.com/users/postUgkxHL1v1R3NE5x4KiYfyt8dnQmyNYz7qi5L but I could see where some might benefit from using an experienced bike assembler/mechanic. I'm an older rider starting back after a 10 year break. This bike exceeds my capabilities and has been easy to get comfortable riding. I'm mostly on easy trails with almost no street riding and have not been disappointed with the performance of the bike. My fitness level is far below what I previously rode with and because of that the mileage is going on the bike slowly. While I'm losing weight slowly, the bike seems to tolerate my 220 pounds just fine. The bike has been used by several family members ranging from 5'5" - 5'9".
Not true! Maybe in your country bro, in mine everything is measured in metric system, mtb and road and all. Why would any advance civilization use something different?
Well duh We are stupid Americans 🤪 What do you expect After it started measuring in a system you didn't know you should've clicked off the video instead of leaving a rude comment.
Bicycle frame and other component sizing conventions are one of the most stupid, irrational and downright useless forms of dimensioning that there are. Ignore all this information, it is next to useless!
The best explanation from thousands videos out there and simple.
Simple and direct information. Thankyou. (I came to another site ignorant and left totally confused. Your site was super helpful.)
These videos are the best n simplest ones for me!
Thanks very much, for your great video
Perfect information, thanks.

Fantastic! Thanks 🚴😄
This video is misleading. 24 inches is NOT a small frame size.
Very informative video thanks a lot

Should by 72x0,67 = right size for U.
What is your height
Awesome & Thanks :)
Hi boss can my mtb 24 inches wheel change to 26 inches wheel
thanks finally i see a video for my question i will subs. 😍😍
0:05 my bike has labeled 12, but it's definitely not 12 inch so what does it mean?
La rueda más grande no va a entrar en la horquilla más pequeña
Nope, that is not where you measure - mine measures 18”
Okay, ground to groin is 67cm.

Yo mido lo mismo, lo más usual es usar una mtb de 26 pulgadas de rueda
I'm 5'7 and they recommended me a 55cm road bike. That's too big for me imo

X cm x 0,67 thats right ,not 0,7 !!! For road bike .

I love WIKI HOW Android app
What about BMX frame 😢

What do you expect

No advanced civilization would. Here in the USA, only the uninformed still consider us "advanced."
Hey! Suck a dick! This is obviously made by an American! Metric is better but no one asked bitch!
Then convert the measurements..?
Why I feel sick.....
You alright now?
@@justin09ap87 hope they are alright
You probably don’t like math
I never graduated from the abacus...
Measure ur temperature
