JeffD Posted August 20, 2013 Posted August 20, 2013 Hi, I'm in the market for my second bike & I'm planning on getting a dual suspension 29er. My current 26er is a large but one shop says I should go XL after they measured me the other says stay L after they measured me too especially because you don't want a too big 29er. What is the formula for working out sizes. I'm 187cm tall & my inner leg is 87.5cm. Thanks.

Pappa Bear Posted August 20, 2013 Posted August 20, 2013 I am 182cm and my inseam is 94cm. I had a Large but most seatpost turned out to be to short.......... Has since switched to a XL with a shorter stem and it seems OK......... What make bicycle are you looking at ?
Eugene Posted August 20, 2013 Posted August 20, 2013 If you multiply your inseam by 0.65, you get a frame size between large and extra large. In road size terms, the formula gives you a frame size of 57. Large = 56 and XLarge = 58
flat29 Posted August 20, 2013 Posted August 20, 2013 (edited) as per scott 185- 195 is xl. check for L with a longer stem maybe. where you based Edited August 20, 2013 by flat29

Thanks.I ride a L Specialized 29" - 189, 88...Remember that the larger a frame is the more cumbersome it is to maneuver. I would never ride a XL MTB. Road, complete different story.

flat29 Posted August 20, 2013 Posted August 20, 2013 there are a few bike shops there. go to The Sports basement around the corner from you to check you size. There is also solomons at woodmead
