Hi Scott, thanks for your comment and great that you found the first part of the video useful🙏. It's a pitty that the second part was not clear enough😔. What we are trying to emphasise in the video is that in comparsion to the correct saddle height the correct height for the handlebars is a very personal choice as there are so many factors such as type of bike being used, physical characteristics in human, types of riding (leisure, competitive, etc.) cycling with a kit such as rucksack or without. So even if you and me would be the same build, use the same bike and the correct seat height would be the same for both of us we might find different handlebar height being correct. So to summarise, the correct height for handlebars is what you find the most comfortable. I hope this makes sense to you and if the current position of your handlebars is not comfortable then keep changing it slightly and test it until you find the best position🙂.

So to summarise, the correct height for handlebars equals the most comfortable height for you right at this moment (as when you get older your physical characteristics may change and you will need to change the height again to get rid of the discomfort).

@cyclemaintenanceacademy

11 ай бұрын

Hi Grace, thank you for your comment!🙏 I'm glad you found the video clear regarding the correct height for the bike seat. When it comes to handlebar height, it's a bit more complex as there isn't a one-size-fits-all solution like with the saddle height. The optimal handlebar height depends on several factors, including the type of bike, your riding style, and individual comfort preferences. For example, on a road bike, the handlebars are typically positioned lower than the saddle, promoting a more aerodynamic riding position. On the other hand, for a more upright riding position, such as on a cruiser or hybrid bike, the handlebars are generally set at or slightly above the level of the saddle. Furthermore, factors such as any existing back pains or discomfort should also be taken into account when determining the handlebar height. It's important to find a position that provides a comfortable riding experience and minimizes strain on your body. Try different handlebar heights to find what works best for you. You can make small adjustments and test them out on shorter rides to see how they affect your comfort and overall riding experience. If you have any specific concerns or additional questions, don't hesitate to ask.🙂

Thank you for the simple version of how this all works. After setting the saddle height on my Mountain bike, the niggling subtle knee pain that I would sometimes get has now gone. However, my seat is now higher than my handlebars, even though all the included spacers sit below the stem. Therefore, the subtle knee pain has now been replaced with a lower neck, upper back tightness, and pinching kind of effect because the angle of my upper body has been reduced, relative to the ground, which places more strain on the rear neck/shoulder muscles to keep my head up and looking forward. What would be my options in this case? Riser handlebars, perhaps?

I learned to ride a bike very late in life. I will probably never be able to have the agility and balance that people who have ridden bikes since their childhood, have. I have read that for my height I should ride a bike that has 26 inch wheels. However, my legs are short. I need a bike with 24 inch wheels for me to get the best sense of balance. Also, some people may be a bit longer from butt to knee and some people may be longer from knee to foot or vice versa. A friend of mine who is in her 70s said that when used to ride a bike, she too felt most comfortable and in control riding a bike with 24 inch wheels though it may be advised that she ride one with 26 inch wheels. Furthermore, I have arthritis. Putting the seat higher makes it more painful on my hip. It is hard for me to mount and dismount a bike normally. Having a higher seat would mean that my hip would be stressed whenever I have to catch my balance and put my feet on the ground before I topple over and fall. Also, if were to heighten the seat on my bike I would be more in a bent over position which would be more painful for my back. It is surprising how people just see me riding my bike and tell me to raise the seat. One guy once shouted it out of a car.

Hi, thanks so much for sharing your experience with us and other viewers. I'm so pleased that you found the comfortable size bike and saddle height for you. Remember that al the advice you find is just a guidance. At the end of the day it's all about your comfort and confidence. It must be frustrating when people tell you to raise the saddle, most of them simply think they help, others, like this car driver just want to anoy you. Luckily you know the best what works for you. Take care and keep cycling🙂

Great explainer, very friendly and accessible 😊 Thanks for 3:20 too, I almost did that 😅 (undo the big nuts under the stem)
