5 easy steps to Check your bike
1. CHECK your STEERER TUBE FOR DIAMETER SIZE
- Each Ride More seat comes with 2 front mounts that fit a standard steerer tube - diameter 1 ¹/⁸"
- Adapters are available for other sizes (see below)
2. CHECK STEERER TUBE FOR 10MM IN SPACERS
- Look for 10mm in existing spacer height under your stem
- Remove 10mm in spacers and swap in your Ride More spacer
- This step is a one time step only.
3. CHECK STEM FOR FRONT CLAMP CLEARANCE
- The front clamp needs to go around your steerer tube without hitting the stem/bars
- Short stems need 15mm of spacer - 10mm for the spacer and 5mm for clearance
4. CHECK the width of TOPTUBE & DOWNTUBE
- Ride More stirrups go over tubes that are 68mm or less
- Tubes wider than 68mm and less than 102mm require a Wide Adapter
- Tubes wider than 102mm and less than 122mm require an Extra Wide
5. CHECK SEAT POST FOR 20MM HEIGHT
- The Ride More rear clamp fits on standard seat posts and dropper posts (carbon too!)
- Look for 20mm in height on your post to allow room for the clamp
- For droppers, clamp to the static portion of your post
Ride More front mounts
You have checked the specs of your bike's steerer tube diameter, and it's not standard, 1 ¹/⁸". You might need an adapter-
- A quill adapter for your cruiser/commuter
- A larger spacer - 1 ¹/⁴" for an older Giant
- A lockring spacer for your Trek Knock Block system
- A Syncros adapter to flatten out those angled spacers on your Scott bike
Seat Post Matters
Standard Seat Posts
Check for 2cm in height on your post and you are ready to roll
Carbon Seat Posts
Again, totally safe! Check for 2cm, and then BOOM, get riding!
Dropper posts
YES! Clamp to the static portion of your post and ride on!
Chunky Seat Post? We got you.
For thicker seat posts - up to 34.9 mm:
- Remove the domed nut from the end of the Ride More rear clamp hand screw.
- This will allow the clamp to open up to 34.9mm.
- The domed nut is there only to protect the rider's inner thigh from the edge of the screw when clamped to very small diameter (27.2mm) seat posts.
- The nut may be stiff to unscrew as there is a small amount of threadlock on the inside.
E-Bikes, Fat Bikes, & Chunky Frames
Ride More seats are brilliant for e-bikes and bikes with chunky frames! Unless your e-bike frame is very narrow, or your battery pack is at the back, you will need an e-bike adapter to go with your seat. Which Adapter do you need?
Top Tube & Down Tube Width
- Standard Width (no Adapter): 68mm or less
- Wide Adapter: 68-97mm
- Extra Wide Adapter: 97-117mm
A little bit of extra information to help with compatibility. Not all of us are bike nerds, right!?
Steering tube - Biking background
What is a steerer tube?
It's this strong piece silver piece here that pops out of your frame and sets up your bike for your bars.
Where do i measure?
Here at arrow where it says 1 ¹/⁸". This is where it counts as it is the part where the Ride More front mount fits.
Quill Stems
Quill stems go inside a threaded steerer tube. These stems need a quill stem adapter- 7/8" or 1".
