Freestyle/street riders who are 5'10 tall: What size you ride?
Post Flair (click to view more posts with a particular flair)
Post Body
- I'm a 5'10 tall newbie looking to get my first BMX. Will be for freestyle/street and the odd skate park/pump track. No dirt. No long travel from A to B.
- Largest bike most commonly available seem to be 20" I've seen a 20" at a shop but it felt a little small. And there doesn't seem to be a large difference between most 18" and 20" bikes.
- Correct me if I am wrong but a bike can be labelled as 20" (wheel) but its TT is a different size.
Comments
20in wheels are standard and then top tube length and fork offset are dependent on how you ride.
A longer top tube is better for flow style riding, while shorter is better for more technical stuff.
A larger(?) fork offset is going be much more stable, while a smaller offset will be much more twitchy.
