Whether you rent a bike from us or join us on a tour it is our goal to make sure we get you as comfortable of a fit on our bike as you have on your bike at home. In order to do this we ask that you take a few measurements from your bike.
With the pedal at the bottom of the pedal stroke and the crank in line with the seat tube measure from the spindle of the pedal to the top of your seat.
Measure from the center of the bottom bracket to the top of the seat. These first two measurements will help us set your saddle height and will allow us to account for any difference in crank lengths.
Measure from the tip of your saddle to the center of the handlebar. These first few measurements should be all we need to get you a comfortable fit on our bikes. However, if you are not sure of what size frame you ride please ontinue below.
If you are not sure what size frame you ride then measure from the center of the bottom bracket to the TOP of the seat tube.
The other measurement you need when you are unsure of your frame size is the Horizontal Top Tube. Measure from the center of the steerer tube to the center of the seat tube in a straight line.
Bonus points - If you want to measure the drop from your seat to your handlebars use a yard stick or something long and straight. Hold it level on the seat and measure from the yard stick to the top of the bars.
If you have your measurements from a professional bike fit you can forward those to us at rentals@gocyclingmaui.com just reference the last name that the rental reservation is under and the date you are scheduled to pick up your bikes.
While these measurements will allow us to get very close to your fit at home every make and model of bike has different geometry and sometimes even the same make and model from year to year. We will do everything we can to get you in a familiar, comfortable riding position. We have a wide variety of stems that we can switch out on our bikes. We also have a variety of saddles to chose from, however if you really love your saddle please feel free to bring it along.
