How to Choose the Correct Bike (Bike Fitter Explains)

Bike Fit Fundamentals: https://roadcyclingacademy.com/bike-f... Bike fitter Neill Stanbury breaks down what really matters before you buy a road bike. Is it fit-for-purpose and do you understand stack & reach, seat tube angle and spacer stacks. Neill will also go through the three components you must spec right (crank length, bar width, stem length). Finally, we discuss using Geometry Geeks to compare frames millimetre-by-millimetre — and why you should dial your current position first before picking a new frame. In this video you’ll learn: Fit for purpose: race bike vs endurance bike (comfort, tyres, stiffness) Stack & Reach: how to replicate your current position and improve handling Spacer stacks: why “chimneys” hurt steering and how taller stack helps Seat tube angle: getting enough saddle fore–aft without running out of rail Spec it right: crank length, bar width, stem length Tools: quick frame comparisons with Geometry Geeks https://geometrygeeks.bike/ Pro tip: fix your bike fit first so your next frame isn’t chosen off bad numbers 👉 Want a step-by-step system to set position at home (before you buy)?
