How to set up the cushion of the bicycle

seat height

And then set the height of the seat cushion. The height of the cushion is the most important part of the cycle, especially with the knee injury. The seat is too high, then the knee is easy to hurt, and the center of gravity is too high and prone to accidents; too low to step on the strength of the foot, long-term use of incorrect posture trample on the knee and the legs have a bad effect. Only the correct height of the seat cushion can really play the effectiveness of the pedal, and has the most correct health and does not hurt the body of the trample posture, and not only will not radish legs, but also can be modified legs oh!

The knee is the most frequently used body part of a bicycle, but it is also the most vulnerable and easily injured area. When we each leg treading a circle, knee will be active at a time, such frequent moves, if applying force method, the direction or position is not correct, it is easy to will make knee joint injury, or even a lifetime are not cycling (a lot of knee joint injury is very difficult to recovery will come), so be careful!

Set the saddle height often hear some experts what to say (crotch length *0.885) how to measure? In fact, you do not intend to be a player, you really do not need to be a simple thing to do so complicated. For beginners, as long as the first "heel" on the pedal, and then step on a few, slowly adjust the seat height, wait until the lowest point when the knee just hit straight, this time the seat height has been eight or nine to ten! In accordance with this standard seat height, then the "sole" back into the original standard pedal position, thus, knees at the lowest point of the stampede naturally there will be a little bit of bending, such extension position can balance stampede output, also won't let the knee to stampede injured. , of course, if suddenly the novice can not be used to such a high riding position can also be the standard cushion height reduction, two centimeters, even three or four centimeters, or in the acceptable range.

Seat height setting most taboo will cushion pull too high (on the road there are many students like to play cool, deliberately cushion pull very, very high up, pretend to have long legs look). Such a cushion height in the stampede will make the knee straight, the action is very dangerous! Like cycling such needs legs frequently for trampling rotation action, then if the knee straight will not only make stampede "pause", affect the stampede of continuity, and straight when the knee was also hurt the knee and leg ministry ligament. Although pull high cushion will have a will be treading force "straight hit" the illusion, as if to this position to step out, but actually otherwise, both muscle and knee joint are easily in the then (knee playing straight) wear were injured. So keep in mind! Bike riding is not to let the knee hit straight.

Saddle height can not be too low, beginners generally unaccustomed to a high center of gravity, the riding posture, so often will drop height, and pull too much, so that "duck ride" posture will let the leg power to stretch not open, although bikes at ease some (because of the low center of gravity, and the soles of the feet can step on the ground), but stretch not open thigh, calf, knee will not only let you ride fast, for a long time down easily caused by the wear of the muscles and joints.

Therefore, we suggest here, is the first of their "standard seat height" to find out, after can be somewhat reduced several centimeters, slowly habit of the centre of gravity changes and again a bit more (half a cm or cm) to adjust until find that can give you peace of mind and confidence, but also take into account the stampede output, and it can avoid the wounded body position.
