Geometry bicycle frame 101

I was discussing the geometry of the frame with a leading trainer last week and perspective The geometry of the framework has struck a chord with me, so I wanted to share this subject with you. Nature of my business KGS Bikes is to provide a dataset assembly which is so accurate that I can build a bike from a drawing of a ship halfway around the world by bike to a customer I met once and have confidence that the bike fits perfectly with only a few millimeters seat height adjustment possible due density foam on the saddle!

I had been riding "frame geometry of stock" for decades and possibilities created by the combination of a mounting system and unlimited customized real geometry did not exist for me, and therefore you, until very recently. The time honored principles of the knee on the pedal spindle (KOPS), the method Lemond standover height, height of seat height equal to the hip when standing beside the bike and scads of other techniques have been developed to help people choose a size bike work for them.

We need to watch a bit of history because the bikes were made quite differently in the 1970s and before they are today. The '70s were a time when road bike has a geometry very different angles of siege in the 71-72 extent. In addition, these bikes were built in half sizes and therefore had no less than 12 sizes for a model! bikes today are between 3 and 5 sizes so more people are forced to "fit" a bike that will be far perfect.

Road bikes archetype in the 70s was the Raleigh professional team that was without doubt one of the best and most comfortable road bikes ever made. At that time there were two schools of the race as well, a European style which focused on more rides and races, including the mountains. An American style developed and focusing on the Criterium races, shorter races closed circuit with lots of turns and sprints. The U.S. bicycle manufacturers began producing bikes with 73-74 degree seat angle and seat back much less with the logic Our races are shorter and there is no need for comfort at a 125cc mile if we were running 50 miles.

This type of race bike geometry became popular as the Americans liked the more aggressive stance and young runners who work in bike shops would sell the bikes. We are now at a time when most bikes are still designed for Nice young professional riders, but they are bought by people who have completed more than 40. I saw my change of position on the bike since I was able to use my bike configuration experience. I found that the bar really needs to be more and the saddle should be more on the back to get the right balance point.

I also found that as I got older (and had wounds on the way) that my tolerance for more aggressive geometry was possible. People who came into my shop tend to be people who did not successfully be fitted in the other bike stores, I had more difficult cases on a daily basis. I saw more and more who could not get at home on their bikes in stock and even had to abandon mounting system WobbleNaught respected because he linked the individual to an existing bike.

The bike has started installation show me when we were really in balance a lot of good things began to happen. First, the problems of small saddle and completely disappeared for most people. Secondly, back pain went away. Thirdly, numbness of the hand has been decreased. In addition the ability of people to roll over large distances and improved dramatically, their power and improved efficiency so they were faster. There was only problem. The positions that I discovered proved to be very close to the driving position of the people had on the old Raleigh Team Pro! It seems that what is old is new again.

It is a long fierce battle in order to convince manufacturers of frames production build bikes that "big people" can go, but, fortunately, a handful of manufacturers of custom frames are now expert. I success in designing a personalized setting based on actual data from individual installation and can work with these experts to create a framework that has predictable flow characteristics and will be the servant of the rider, not the reverse.
I still have some people who are the right size for a framework of actions, but noted that at this level, almost everyone seems to want a custom designed wells. People seem surprised when they learn that cycling can be comfortable and much better than before. Process is simple, you balance on the first bike and turn the handlebars instead second right. The geometry of the bike can be a help or a hindrance to a rider and, fortunately, there solutions that allow everyone to be comfortable on a bike.
