How to select the right size bike for your child. We show what's too big, what's too small and what is a correct fit. We also explain the difference between sizing by age or height and correctly sizing a bike by inseam length.

@nostalkingzone Жыл бұрын

I'm sorry that happened, Sai. It's not just the wheel size; but the style of bike and the frame size that makes the difference. As an adult measuring 5' 2" (with a short inseam), I find that some 26" bikes are rideable (even ideal for me), while others are a no-go.

That information would be helpful; but she seems to have long legs, as well. That (the inseam) factors in at least half in finding and settling on the right bike-especially if the purchase is a surprise gift and you can't take the child into the shop to try them out beforehand.

Rather than recommend a bike for a rider with a certain size "inseam"/saddle height, I think it'd be more accurate to just list the minimum/max saddle height and/or highest part of the top bar (if step-over frame). That's because different bike manufacturers/bike experts recommend different ways of measuring the inseam: Some advise with shoes; some without shoes; and some recommend subtracting an extra 1" - 2" for better clearance! 🤷‍♀️ Hence why I myself prefer step-through frames! 😁

I have an inseem of about thirty-two inches, which is seven inches higher than the recommended height for bikes with twenty-four inch wheels. The problem is that if I get myself a bike that is too big, it will not fit inside my SUV. As it is, I can barely fit a 700C bike inside my SUV. I am just looking for a ball park wheel size, so if it still feels too small, I can raise the seat to make it big enough. If you are like me and your inseem is a few inches higher than the recommended height for twenty-four inch wheels, you can get twenty-four inch wheels, anyway, raise the seat, and get away with that.

@edwardcook23 Ай бұрын

You will run into a reach issue on the frame. With a 32" you are well last sizing by wheel size and you need to size by frame size/reach. A bike with 27.5" or 29" wheels will both be more modern and last longer but also fit better. Get a bike with through axles or qr axles and just take the wheels off if you have to transport via SUV. I have used my wife's SUV to haul my bike before when we don't want to take the truck.

@davidduncan1362 Ай бұрын

I had my inseem remeasured since I wrote my last comment in this thread and with my shoes on, it is actually thirty-three inches. I was not planning on spending money to buy a bicycle rack for my SUV. I am roughly about seventy-one inches with a thirty-three inch inseem and those are the two numbers that I will use to size my own bike. A bike with twenty-six inch wheels will still fit easy in my SUV, but the bigger bikes will be more of an issue. I might have to get clever with a twenty-niner or a 700C. If I can take off only the front wheel to make it fit, that will save me time that I no longer have to spend to adjust my gears on the back wheel. Any suggestions?

Sometimes you can find one of the 'pric-ier' bikes used, but in good condition, for a more reasonable cost. I see them a lot on Craigslist--problem is, the nearest large city (with the better market) is like 150+ miles away; and under the present economy, it's hard to justify that much in transportation costs (especially when it may not be what you want).
