So happy I stumbled upon this forum. I am as newbie to spinning as it gets.
I just received an amazing gift. A brand new shiny ProForm 590 SPX bike.
All excited - all put together.
I am 5'2 (short legs) and after reviews from other short people, thought this bike would work. The seats stem puts me at a height at about an inch of being uncomfortable. I have moved the seat all the way forward, the handlebars all the way to the 1 position and the seat as far down as it goes.
When I extend my legs to 12 & 6 - the fully extended leg is just shy. I am a tad bit short it feels like. If the stem was a tiny bit shorter it would work.
So my questions are... :confused:
If I change pedals, or seats or anything ... will it help? Is this an option? I don't want to disassemble and ship it back.
Am I not doing something right?
Thanks so much!
Link to bike incase you need to see the stem, etc.. or assembly height.
