In order to do this you will need to know two key measurements, your height and your inseam. Out of the two measurements, I’d say your inseam was the most important. The chart below shows you which frame to size to buy according to you key measurements. </P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.buydiscountmountainbikes.com/starting-out-mountain-biking-essential-tips-for-buying-the-right-size-bike/"><P> When trying your potential mountain bike out for size please follow the tips below:</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.buydiscountmountainbikes.com/starting-out-mountain-biking-essential-tips-for-buying-the-right-size-bike/"><li style="margin-left:16px;padding-left: 0px;"> Stand over the frame with both feet flat on the ground. A good fitting mountain bike should have about 3inch clearance from the frame to your crotch. </LI></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.buydiscountmountainbikes.com/starting-out-mountain-biking-essential-tips-for-buying-the-right-size-bike/"><li style="margin-left:16px;padding-left: 0px;"> Extend the bike seat so that there is only a slight bend at your knee when sitting on the bike. This will insure maximum power when pedalling. It is a common mistake to think you should be able to sit on the bike with your feet firmly flat on the ground. </LI></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/026FD891-FE3C-4840-B7D4-3DD082624064/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
