I am conducting some research into the terminology and understanding of 'reach' in cycling, and the possible misconceptions surrounding it for my Bsc Dissertation. Any type of biker is welcome to take part in it as it encompasses all and all completed surveys are gratefully received! :D

Please find the survey at: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/Bike_fit_research

    Maybe you could help by telling us what you think reach is? I own 4 or 5 bikes: all have different head angles, seat angles, stem lengths, stem rise, fork lengths and so on. They all fit me. How? Because they are designed for different purposes. I don't want my XC race bike to fit the same as my short travel, slack angled do it full susser! I fit my bikes through testing parts, and advise others to do the same.

    Bike fitting places I do not endorse, unless you have very specific health issues with a person qualified in those health issues and sports science. The reason is one the ridiculous prices and being told stuff people can find out for themselves, and secondly the same people can visit 5 different places and get 5 different set ups. So who is right? And why would you be better?

    I did the survey and lied a lot. Partly because I get annoyed by people joining to do their homework, and partly because a)I fail to see the relevance of a lot of the questions asked, and b) you had no choices for not applicable etc.

    Seemed more like a marketing survey to me.

    A lot of your choices seemed to be duplicates like Shoes and Clothing/Kit were two separate things and Tyres and Components were two separate things. I gave up after that.

    Great. It does not work.

    When filling in the other option it does not except an imput.

    Go away and make it work before spamming the forum with it.

    Your other post have been removed.

    They rarely come back. Fortunately.
