N4G Posted October 20, 2010 Posted October 20, 2010 Hi, I am new to thehubsa.co.za.I am getting the SCOTT Aspect 30 today and would like to know what size bike I should get - Medium or Largehttp://www.scott-sports.com/us_en/product/10030/55712/217984 I am 26 years old and 1.85 tall? Any advice would be great.
MariusL Posted October 20, 2010 Posted October 20, 2010 Welcome to the hub... For a guy your size... I'd probably say a large... but hopefully the bike shop (LBS) you are getting it from would be able to advise you correctly... Ps. Nice bike
Eugene Posted October 20, 2010 Posted October 20, 2010 The bike shop should set you up. Height is not a good indicator of frame size. Your leg inseam length is a far better (but not perfect) indicator of frame size. Everybody's top body in relation to bottom body is different. For example, a friend is the same height as me, but has short legs. I ride a medium frame, he rides a small frame.
E-man Posted October 20, 2010 Posted October 20, 2010 What will you be paying? im getting a scott scale 70 next week!
N4G Posted October 20, 2010 Author Posted October 20, 2010 Hopefully yes... The Scott has a "Size Chart", and seems they also recommend a large
N4G Posted October 20, 2010 Author Posted October 20, 2010 KK well thnks guys for the info, will leave it in there hands to kit me with the correct size frame
N4G Posted October 20, 2010 Author Posted October 20, 2010 Loving the bike, however the Tektro Draco / Hydraulic Disc brakes seem to be "weak"...is this maybe cause it's new? Does it need to be ridden in?
