Fit Advisor Forum

Hi!

I've been playing around with the fit advisor for a very tall rider. His inseam is 920mm. Recommended seat height is 812mm based on the 0.883 formula. When rider is displayed on the bike with the crank inline with the seat tube the leg is disconnected (i'm guessing leg in the model is somehow too short and this results in disconnection). Also the leg is locked out with a knee angle of 180 degrees. Am I missing something here?

Im looking for a Design to use in a new Sizing / Fitting Report. Maybee someone didi this before.

Frame shown and a legend with the dimensions separetly.

Thanks

Hello,

I'm running i bikeshop in Belgium and use BikeCAD for finding the right position for my customers.

It should be great to have formulas for more race oriented persons (road bikes) and also for randonneurs /touring bikes.

Can anyone help me with that?

Thanks a lot,

Tim

dear all i looking to know some specificaiton about the maximum size for an handle bar for bicycle?

Is any one can tell me our to find somme specification or source of information for that data?

Fit advisor works fine for me.
And I also think the calculation of B, C etc and A1,A2,L1, etc by the fit advisor formulas, works fine.

BUT when I change A, and hit "Calculate", none of these values will change.
The only way to get new values for B,C, etc and A1,A2, L1, etc , is to uncheck B,C,D,E,F and then hit the "Calculate" button.

This is not a huge problem.
But it took me quite some time before I noticed.

I think the manual should have warned me for this snag.
A warning in the dialogue box would be better: "Calculate" only works for unchecked boxes

A bike and a rider match well when the centre of gravity of the rider, is above the pedals/the bracket/etc.
I have noticed some simple math gives a much more accurate estimate of the point of gravity, than a visual estimate.

My simple math:
Head = 9% of total body weight
One arm = 9% ( upper arm = 50% )
Upper body = 36%
One leg = 18% ( upper leg = 66 % )

Hi Brent,

With regard to measurements L1, L2, and L3, is L1 is from the bump on the outside of the knee to, where -- an anatomical landmark on the hip or something more visual? How about L2: knee bump to bone that sticks out on the ankle (base of fibula?). L3: base of fibula to bottom of shoe heel?

Thanks!

People differ in flexibility.

When I do my Pilates exercises on a regular basis I am in need of a much shorter stem.

The length of my back is not just the difference between leg length and body length.

My question: How can I adjust the bend of the riders back, in Fit Advisor?%%%%%%short-torso.png" data-colorbox-="">

Hey,

I'm running BikeCAD 12.0 on a Mac (16gb ram, SSD HD, 2.6 i5, OS 10.11 -- El Capitan). I'm trying to use the animation feature to show a client a mock-up but the animation rate is ridiculously slow. I've quit other applications, rebooted, etc. but the problem persists. This is the first time I've really tried to use the animation feature so maybe I'm missing something.

Do you have any suggestions?

Thanks

Tom
