I'm very pleased with the purchase of this bike. It is a great starter bike for trail riding.

Fit is crucial for the convenience, control, power and the proper and endurance on a bike. Here are some basic bike fit tips:

* Stand-over height - To determine whether a bicycle fits your body height, measure your inseam. Next, determine how much you will need clearance between your belt and the step top tube of the bicycle. For a mountain bike, you want three to five inches of clearance. A racing should be between one and two inches of clearance, while a bicycle commuters must have two to four centimeters. Compare the stand-over height for a particular bicycle to your measurements (inseam clearance), to determine the correct amount bicycle. * Top tube length - you can create your torso, a good estimate of the correct length top tube. First, make a fist and stretch your arm. Measure from the middle of the first to the end of your clavicle (the part that cuts your shoulder). Next, measure using your upper body a book against your step with his back to the top. Measure from the spine to the bottom of your throat (on the ground between your collarbones). Finally, add the two measurements (arm length hull length), divide the number in half, and subtract six inches. This is your approximate length top tube. Compare this number to a bicycle posted top tube length. You can expect about two centimeters longer or shorter, as most bikes can be adapted on stem cells length / height and saddle fore / rear position to fine-tune the fit. * Bikes for women - Proportion Ally, more women have a shorter torso and legs longer than men. Bike makers design women's bikes offer that a shorter top tube and many comfort / cruiser bikes built for women can also learn more about state clearance.
