Good for sizing, not good for bike recommendations
While the fit and sizing advice is quite OK, the recommendations for specific bicycle models are lacking and have significant room for improvement.

Everyone with a road bike is usually pretty much capable of doing the basic measuring (and has the tooling). This site provides the important calculations that you need to do the basic fitting yourself. Especially useful if you buy a second-hand bike! My personal experience is that I was able to check on 4 important points and did some changes, with as a result, wayyy less hurting from long rides.

The results I got seemed very off, I double-checked and triple-checked the measurements, but the results were out of every imaginable scope. I have short legs and a long torso, resulting in very large bike sizes. E.g. Canyon recommends a size small, but Best Bike Advice recommends a size large with a very very long reach. I don't have confidence in buying the bike based on this fit. Taking measurements seems to be relatively simple, though help from someone is very beneficial.

Dear Timo, I am sorry to read that you do not trust our bike fit advice. Our system does work for people with short legs and long torso, since our advice is fully personalized. The problem is with the standard tables that link frame size to total body height. They lack any kind of personalization. You are 180cm tall, but the torso length that you entered corresponds with someone who is 197cm tall. The torso length is the most important body measurement in the calculation of your frame size. (please read our blog to learn more: https://bestbikeadvice.com/int/en/road-frame-size/) So logically our system will advice you a larger frame size. Now there are two options: A. You might have measured very accurately, but maybe you did not measure according to the definition that we specified B. Or your measurements are correct and you do really need a larger frame size. And it would be a mistake to buy size S. Kind regards, Jaap

A lot of documentation on page.

Het is een heel basaal programma met te kleine onduidelijke tekeningen hoe je precies moet meten . En dat terwijl je op tienden van een cm moet afstellen. Het is natuurlijk niet duur maar je krijgt ook weinig meer dan dat je vrij op het internet kan vinden.

Beste Paul, Heel erg bedankt voor jouw review. Ik ga kijken wat ik kan doen om de instructies nog duidelijker te maken. Een goede bikefit houdt met veel persoonlijke factoren rekening en ik ken geen gratis online bikefit oplossingen die dit doen. Onze bikefit houdt bijvoorbeeld rekening met elementen zoals: - Jouw fietsdoelen - Jouw fietservaring en niveau - Jouw fietsomgeving - Jouw lenigheid - Veel lichaamsmaten - Jouw fietscontactpunten - Jouw vering sag (bij mtb) Met vriendelijke groet, Jaap

This service work pretty well. I was able to find some positions that worked much better for me. I'd say it's definitely worth it if you are having trouble getting your geometry right and there is not bike shop in your area that does fittings. I do wish that they had a feature that allows you to enter the stem length and then they recommed the bar drop.

Hi Chris, thanks for your review. I do not understand your wish, and will contact you directly for more information. The logic that we use is the other way arround. With your bike fit results we calculate what stem length you need. And we do have a tool for that.

Happy with my bikefit! I didn't know where to start when I wanted to buy a bike, but this tool helped me. It was very interesting to see what questions/measurements I had to fill in. It looked very professional and I could read/understand the differences between all the bikes. And for a good price. My friend is also convinced, he is going to try it too. Thank you.

Duidelijke instructies op de site en in het rapport. Aanrader!
