    I have an inseem of about thirty-two inches, which is seven inches higher than the recommended height for bikes with twenty-four inch wheels. The problem is that if I get myself a bike that is too big, it will not fit inside my SUV. As it is, I can barely fit a 700C bike inside my SUV. I am just looking for a ball park wheel size, so if it still feels too small, I can raise the seat to make it big enough. If you are like me and your inseem is a few inches higher than the recommended height for twenty-four inch wheels, you can get twenty-four inch wheels, anyway, raise the seat, and get away with that.

    • @edwardcook23
      @edwardcook23 2 месяца назад

      You will run into a reach issue on the frame. With a 32" you are well last sizing by wheel size and you need to size by frame size/reach. A bike with 27.5" or 29" wheels will both be more modern and last longer but also fit better. Get a bike with through axles or qr axles and just take the wheels off if you have to transport via SUV. I have used my wife's SUV to haul my bike before when we don't want to take the truck.

    • @davidduncan1362
      @davidduncan1362 Месяц назад

      I had my inseem remeasured since I wrote my last comment in this thread and with my shoes on, it is actually thirty-three inches. I was not planning on spending money to buy a bicycle rack for my SUV. I am roughly about seventy-one inches with a thirty-three inch inseem and those are the two numbers that I will use to size my own bike. A bike with twenty-six inch wheels will still fit easy in my SUV, but the bigger bikes will be more of an issue. I might have to get clever with a twenty-niner or a 700C. If I can take off only the front wheel to make it fit, that will save me time that I no longer have to spend to adjust my gears on the back wheel. Any suggestions?

  • @kayingvaldpedersen9225
    @kayingvaldpedersen9225 Год назад

    Actually, more of his tips is wrong,. About balance your nose should clearly be over the ski, but your upper body has to be bend a little bit forward since you need that to get power for the push, And when you stride your ski to the snow you shall push 90degrees to the side.. direction of the ski should be directly forward as much as possible And just so you know,. This tips was given to me by the Norwegian Klæbo some years ago... And he is the best skier in the world atm

    Dear MKbikesmithers, your videos are fantastic. I have a question for you; I work, for free, for a Ski Club in Italy and I would like to share your videos, in sci club website, for our ski club members. This could be a method to attract more different people who have never tried skiing. Could I have your permission to propose this my idea to our ski club director? Thank you very much for your attention. Best regards MD

      Plough, bent your knees more and lean forward if going downhill seems too fast. Never lean back or try to slow down with your poles.
