How to Measure a Mountain Bike Size: A Comprehensive Guide
To measure a mountain bike size, take a tape measure and measure the distance between the ground and the top of the bike frame’s seat tube. This measurement is the bike’s “standover height.” Next, measure the distance from the center of the bike’s bottom bracket to the top of the seat tube. This measurement is the bike’s “effective top tube length.” These two measurements will give you an idea of the size of the mountain bike that is best suited for you.
