Bike Length/height

if your taller does a longer bike help, just wondering because i ride a short python and am 6ft 2 so would a longer bike make me any better

cheers for your help :) :-

well i'm about 6 ft 1 and I ride a T-Pro which i can ride pretty well, but after having a go on my mates CLS python (1045) I've decided that i would be better on a longer bike because i can do moves more effortlesly and makes riding a hell of a lot more compfortable.

hope this helps a bit :)

yeah i would say that it does. i ride a prodigy ( no jokes please) and im 6ft 2/3 and i often get pains in the top of my back and end up walking like im from Notre damn lol. but even if you can afford a new bike even things likes stems and some bars have helped me. but buying a larger frame is something to definately look at in the future

Hi there a long bike may suit you abit more.But it`s really down to if you are comfortable on the bike e.g if you hit your nees on the bars all the time it`s abit short.Oh and by the way if you do get a new frame I will buy your short python off you.Just add me on msn deonn_trials55@trials.com <_< .

Cheers

Ye I would say that a longer frame would suit your height much better. Also try bikes with a higher stem that could help much more becuase it will stop you from arching your back (stopping back pains). A long bike will also make your riding much better so I would say that a longer bike would help alot with your riding so it would be a good change.

tits hard to judge alot depends on how you ride.

i'm only short and ride a vinco and can handle it without any problems. but i know people who are over 6ft and ride montys ect ( for example garcia) think thats his name lol

its all down to what your happy on and what you want to do long bikes help some aspects but hinder other things
