Hi,

its been a few years since I bought a bike, can someone offer any advice on CUBE hybrid (touring disc) sizing?

I think I'm about 31" inside leg, 6' tall, and I've seen varying bike website sizing guides. Each suggests different sizes, but nothing that matches the CUBE sizing. I'm not sure whether to internet order a 54 or a 58 as there's no CUBE shops near me with the Touring in stock for me to sit on.

Can anyone advise on sizing?

thanks in advance
Brian

    Would imagine that the 58 would fit best, I have a cube X-race and at 5ft 9 I needed to get the 56!

    I've managed to find my current bike order details - from a few years ago.
    Specialized Allex road bike, 56cm
    Specialized Rockhopper 19"

    These CUBE hybrids appear to be measured at 46/50/54/58/62... where as their road bikes are in 2cm jumps (53,56,58,60,62), and your X-race is 3cm jumps (53/56/59/62).

    So obviously my 56cm Allez must be different to a 56cm Cube x-race....

    Still head scratching at these sizes.I know, I need to sit on one... but I ain't wasting petrol.

    but I ain't wasting petrol

    better off wasting a load of money on a bike that doesn't fit
    Road - '10 Giant Defy 3.5
    MTB - '05 Scott Yecora
    BMX - '04 Haro Nyquist R24 (don't judge me)

    Try phoning a Cube stockist? they will probably be quite used to matching the Cube sizes to other brands like Spesh etc
