Determining Your Bicycle Saddle Height

It’s common sense that the correct saddle properly fitted to your bike should improve your riding performance, or at the very least make it a more enjoyable experience. The position of your body will affect how you ride, how much power you deliver to the pedals and how comfortable you are. However, a comfortable position may not be the most energy efficient so it’s worth going through and sizing your bike and saddle correctly. This Bicycle  guide provides explanation and instructions for properly setting the height, fore/aft position, and tilt of your bicycle saddle:

Mountain Bike Size Calculator

Mountain bikes are designed for all types of terrain, from flat gravel paths to steep rocky trails. The bikes usually have sturdy frames, thick, knobby tires and suspension in the front to absorb bumps from rough terrain. There are three primary styles of mountain bikes: no suspension, front-suspension and full suspension. They are all sized the same – using a riders height and leg length to determine frame size. This calculator will recommend a mountain bike size based on your measurements. If you don’t know your leg length, you will get a range of frame sizes to try out.
