Hi guys ! It’s my first post and a few question as well , I do have my own bike currently and it’s been a journey to get onto the right size fitting cause I bought the wrong size (1 size small,49 instead of 52 , I’m 175cm tall and 58cm on torso length) and I’m planning to get a new bike soon. Here’s the question : 1. If no prior knowledge of fitting and not knowing which bike is the bike I’m purchase , what I should look on the frame if I’m looking to buy it ? 2. How to determine the crank length as nowadays it’s a short crank trend.(I’m heading for Tri bike) Thank you all for the help and the knowledge.

Welcome to the free community of The Bike Fit Academy. This space exists to support proper, thoughtful discussion around Bike Fit, the kind of conversations that are hard to have in comment sections on social media. Here you can: - Discuss Bike Fit topics with other Cyclists, Triathletes and Bike Fitters - Share photos and videos of riding positions for community discussion - Get advice around specific comfort issues. - Learn how to observe, analyse, and talk about position more clearly - Ask questions and explore why certain setups work, or don’t This community is about understanding Bike Fit and supporting each other through shared discussion and experiences. If you’re dealing with aches, pain, or discomfort on the bike, you’re not alone. This space exists for like-minded riders to share experiences, compare notes, and learn from each other through discussion. We (Professional Bike Fitters at UK Bike Fit) will occasionally contribute to discussions, share concepts, and run structured Q&A sessions. Most of the free value here comes from thoughtful peer discussion and explaining your reasoning. If you ask good questions, describe what you’re seeing, and stay curious, you’ll get far more out of this space than the comments section of Social Media, and help others do the same.
