Seat Height Guide

One of the most basic yet important aspects of cycling comfort and fit is bicycle the seat height. A poorly adjusted seat can lead to knee, back, neck and shoulder pain. Here are some easy steps to find your proper seat height:

1. While the bike is either in a trainer or while riding on a smooth open surface, place your heels on your pedals.
2. As you pedal, your knees should straighten out completely.
3. If your knees remain bent through the entire pedal stroke, your seat height is too low.
4. If you cannot keep your heels on the pedals without leaning down, your seat is too high.
