In this video I illustrate the procedure to set up the bicycle precisely and correctly to adapt it to your body measurements. Basically, 4 fundamental distances must be taken into consideration: saddle height saddle setback saddle/handlebar distance saddle/handlebar height difference. The video explains how to set them easily, how to read and interpret the cards made by biomechanics who recommend the bike measurements based on your physical characteristics, to avoid incurring physical problems and pain while pedaling for long distances. A correct position is also essential to express maximum power with the least effort. Furthermore, when assembling a new bicycle, taking measurements accurately avoids getting the wrong size of the components, including the handlebar stem, or cutting the fork at the wrong height.
