Frame Sizing - Dynacraft MOUNTAIN BIKE Owner's Manual

FRAME SIZING

B
When selecting a new bicycle, the correct choice of frame size is a very
important safety consideration. To determine the correct size bicycle for
the rider:
• Straddle the assembled bicycle with feet shoulder width apart and
flat on the ground
• There must be at least one inch (2.5cm) of clearance between the
highest part of the top tube of the bicycle and the crotch of the rider
with the tires properly inflated.
• The standover height for each bike is listed in the information center
on the product page of every bike on www.dynacraftbike.com
• To measure the inseam, use measuring tape to measure from the
ground (with shoes on) to the inseam of your pants.
• Subtract the standover height from the inseam measurement to
ensure that you have the recommended amount of clearance. If you
have less than one inch or more than three inches (2.5 to 7.5 cm), you
may need to move up or down a frame size.
• For more detailed instructions on how to properly adjust your bike to
fit you, visit our website at www.dynacraftbike.com, find your bike,
and locate the fit video in the Information Center. (Disclaimer: Fit
video not available for all products)

CAUTION:
For safe and comfortable
riding there should be a clearance of no less than 1
inch between the inseam area of the intended rider
and the top tube of the bicycle frame, while the
rider straddles the bicycle with both feet flat on the
ground.
WARNING:
If the bicycle is too large
the rider cannot reach the pedals easily, or the
ground when stopping which may result in loss of
control and/or injury.
