Rocket-Boy Posted February 5, 2018 Posted February 5, 2018 i be thinking that this is the problem, between the two thanks guysIts a tricky spot to be in, Im still not in a very happy place with sizing. My last frame was a spez XL which had to run a 60mm stem to fit and was scary twitchy. The current frame is a 56cm with a 110mm stem and its not quite long enough but doesnt want to kill me every time I go around a corner. If I had to choose between the two then I will still go for the smaller size and long stem, its way less scary that way!!
Thomo Posted February 5, 2018 Posted February 5, 2018 sorry Thomo 173Assuming average proportions, I can't imagine you'd need anything bigger than a 54.I'm 175 riding a 52 Tarmac.I feel that I'm at top of 52 and bottom of 54 but could probably ride either with the right stem.56 will however be too big.
Slowbee Posted February 12, 2018 Author Posted February 12, 2018 https://www.bikehub.co.za/classifieds/292431-specialized-crux/ chaps, what you think of this? Yes, I know its free advertising for the owner, but I kinda like it. I presume the diverge is an upgrade of the crux ?
Let's Ride Posted February 12, 2018 Posted February 12, 2018 Renay GroustraErgoFiT consultant082 7485 120 I would suggest getting the above done. Then you know which bike size is best.
Slowbee Posted February 12, 2018 Author Posted February 12, 2018 Renay no longer does ergo fit And I think he is now in Stellies. Not southern suburbs
Calculus Bikes Posted February 12, 2018 Posted February 12, 2018 Aah, all the compromises to get a fit.Fun reading all the suggestions though.My two pence of advice will be to clarify what you are going to use the bike for most and decide appropriate position and HANDLING (= frame size) accordingly.
JohanC Posted February 12, 2018 Posted February 12, 2018 I'm 1.66m and riding a 52cm Tarmac with 90mm stem. Ergofit suggested that I need to fit a 100mm stem.

ilubinsky Posted February 13, 2018 Posted February 13, 2018 i be thinking that this is the problem, between the two thanks guysSlowbee I am 1.65 and ride a 52 Tarmac. You need to go for a bigger size 52 will be toooooooo small for you especially if you are saying you are not comfortable.
