BMX bikes are a lot smaller and lighter than traditional bikes. These bikes are harder to ride for adults, and more so for beginners. You need to choose the correct size. Fortunately, there are many ways to figure out what's right for you.
A chart is one way to help you choose the right size bike. Many manufacturers have a size chart that can give you a rough idea of what size will suit your height and body type. It's always a good idea to go for the bike that's the right size for you. There are many online tools that can help you make the right decision. It is also possible to view other reviews and see what people have to share about specific bikes.
There are many sizes and styles of BMX bike. The 20-inch size is the most popular. This size can be used for both children and adults, and is suitable for all body types and heights. Depending on the manufacturer, you may be able to choose from a variety of top tube sizes. Wider wheels are recommended for those who plan to ride their bike on streets and in parks. You can avoid injury and pain by choosing the right bike size.
Consider your height and weight as well as age when selecting a bicycle. For instance, you'll want a bike that's tall enough to keep you from getting tired, but not so tall that it's uncomfortable to ride. For BMX riding, you need enough clearance between your crotch and the ground. Lightweight bikes are important for BMX, as they are intended to perform stunts. For road riding, however, you will need a heavier bike than BMX.
Also, consider how you will calculate your bike's size. While some manufacturers will use a measurement of the top tube, others will use the size of your frame. A top tube measurement will tell you if the bike is too big or small. The smallest top tube size on a bike is a few centimetres, while a frame size is generally measured in inches.
If you're trying to choose the right size BMX bike for you, it's a good idea also to consult a size chart. The right size for adults will prevent injuries and pain, and make your bike more enjoyable. Other brands may be worth considering, especially if your size is not clear.
You may also want to measure your inseam. The length of your inseam is measured from the top edge of your crotch down to the inside your leg. Aim for at least 2" clearance between your crotch, your top tube, and your inside leg. You can ask questions in a forum or contact customer service if you aren't sure.
