How to Set Saddle Height on a Mountain Bike: A Beginner’s Guide
To set your saddle height on a mountain bike, start by sitting on the bike with both feet planted on the ground. Raise the saddle so that it sits at hip height. Then place one foot on a pedal and ensure that your knee is slightly bent when the pedal is at the bottom of its rotation. Adjust the saddle height accordingly until both knees have a slight bend when your feet are on the pedals. Finally, test ride the bike to ensure that the saddle height feels comfortable and does not cause any discomfort or pain.
