How is a bike frame measured?
Place the end of a tape measure at the exact center point of the gear crank (the metal post that runs through the center of the bike’s chain sprocket). Then run the tape measure up to the top of the tube. Measure to the point where the tube ends. This will give you the length of the seat tube which is the frame size.
How do I know what size mountain bike to get?
The easiest way to determine your frame size is by height, but many riders find that they are between sizes. Choosing to go up or down a size depends on your personal riding style and body proportions. A bike with a longer reach will have a longer wheelbase. That makes it more stable, especially on high-speed descents.
