How to Measure for a Mountain Bike: A Guide to Finding Your Perfect Fit
To measure for a mountain bike, you’ll need to determine your inseam length, standover height, and height. The inseam length is a critical measurement as it will determine the right frame size for you. Measure the inseam length by standing against the wall with your shoes on and placing a hardback book between your legs. Measure from the ground to the top of the book. The standover height is the measurement from the ground to the top tube of the bike, while the height is simply your overall height. Taking all of these measurements into account will help you determine the right size mountain bike for you.
