Measure the height from your groin to the ground.Multiply the leg inseam length (in centimeters) with a factor of 0.70. In short, your frame size for the road bike will be 53 cm if your leg inseam is 76 cm. Moreover, a road bikes handlebars should be 1 or 2 sizes lower than the top of the seat.
What height is a 26-inch mountain bike for? A 26” mountain bike is the ideal set-up for younger riders or shorter adults who are between 4'10” and 5'5”. This smaller size is also great for riders that are not as confident on the trails.
If you are under 5'6" tall, a 26-inch mountain bike is still likely to be a better fit. If you're 5'6' or taller, you should be able to find a 29er model to fit you. Riders more than 6' tall can rejoice: You'll definitely enjoy a more natural riding position with the size and frame geometry of a 29er.
Because 29er wheels roll over obstacles much easier than 26" wheels, many 29er riders quickly notice that they no longer avoid roots, ruts, rocks, stumps, ect.... that they once used to on their 26" bike. All of this combines into a bike that's generally more stable and adds to the riders level of confidence.
