Bike Fit

Fitting is an important process which directly affects the ride quality and comfort of a bike—and it’s one we can’t tackle online. The only way to be certain of the right size for you is to visit Stan’s. Our experts are skilled at sizing and will help find the appropriate bike and size to fit your individual needs.

It is possible to come up with some rough guidelines based on height, but these are only a starting point for a proper fit. Each person’s physical dimensions and attributes (arm length, torso length, femur length, flexibility, etc.) are slightly different and can lead to different frame size needs even for people of the same height.

 If you’re between sizes, it’s generally best to go with the smaller size. It’s easier to make a smaller frame fit a little larger than vice versa.

 A proper fitting is especially important with kids’ bikes. Again, height may provide a decent starting point, but the right size will depend not only on a child’s specific measurements, but also on skill level. A skilled young rider may be more comfortable on a larger bike than a child of the same height who has just learned to ride.
