Leg measurement

mike ives

Can anyone tell me what is the recommended (guide) degree of measurement that is often used for the difference between the upper and lower leg when setting-up a riding position? Specifically for road bike use.

I realise this can be set via the peddle axle - saddle height but I am sure I saw it mentioned in a past issue of C+.

Thanks

Not sure exactly what you mean. But I think you are referring to your knee angle.
typical range for road and tri is 145-155 degrees.

Hope this helps.

Yes, that is what I was trying to convey. Many thanks for the information. I am going to go and measure my riding position on my bikes and see how it compares.

Forgot to add that you measure when foot is at 6 oclock
