Step 2: Stand barefoot with your heels against a wall and your feet apart (15-20 cm).
Step 3: Slide the book between your legs to your perineum.
Step 4: Mark the top of the book on the wall.

This height corresponds to your inseam, which is essential for choosing the right size bike.
1. Determining the saddle height (part 2):
Adjusting your saddle correctly is easy!
- Inseam measurement (in cm) × 0.883 = height to be adjusted.
- For example:89 cm × 0.883 = 78.6 cm.
This distance is measured between the bottom bracket and the top of the saddle.
2. Adjusting the saddle angle:
Before setting off, check the angle of your saddle.
Use a spirit level on the front part.
Ensure that the saddle is completely horizontal.
Then test and adjust it for smooth, comfortable pedalling.
3. How to measure your sit-bone width
Choosing the right saddle starts with a simple measurement:
- Take two pieces of corrugated cardboard and place them on a stool.
- Sit on them, straight up, and press down hard for one minute.
- Stand up:two imprints should appear.
- Connect the centres of the imprints with a ruler.
This number is the distance between your sit bones, which is essential for finding the right saddle.
3. Adjusting the saddle setback:
A good saddle position = no knee pain
Sit on the bike and lean back to stay upright.
Fix your feet in place and set the crank to horizontal.
Check the knee-pedal alignment → adjust the saddle if necessary.
