morning littlebeetle and all expert riders, got problem here....how to ride effectively and balance in road bike since the saddle are high with thin tyre

I faced some difficulties even trying getting up to the saddle as well...unable to balance and fall...any tips for me to ride balance before v can even ride long distance bro?

I will require the following details before can advice accordingly.

-Bike Size
-Ur Height

This 2 measurement are very important to you before choosing a right bike.
Normally, bike shop would be able to advice you by doing a bike fitting with you on the bike suits your height.

You may try to search some videos in youtube by typing keyword such as bike fitting.
Hope those could help a little bit for you.

I'm a bit weird. Where did you got your bike?

With your height against the bike size provided, the bike seems like not suit you

Anyway there are few way that can help if the difference is not alot.

-Get a longer stem
-Get a lay back seat post
-Perhaps adjust your brake lever according to your comfort zone

user posted image

You may find the bike frame measurement as the above sample image

Measure the TT length and also the ST (sitting pillar)

Ur height almost mine. So, TT = 52-54cm and ST 49-50cm.
Again each individual is different.
You could have long hands/legs/body.
Some adjustment will require.

I would suggest you to check out some fundamentals on youtube to identify what you need to do next.

Good luck!! icon_idea.gif

@ plkvoon

Try to park at the bus / taxi station. If I can find a space there, I'll park. It's safer I suppose.

@kenshiro01
I would suggest you to lower your saddle to suits ur training. lolx...
But If you are already can ride on a MTB, road bike is not an issue.
Venue: Try Tasik Pemaisuri @ Bdr Tun Razak...

Not much exposure on Giant bike.

But with RM3500, you can actually explore few good brand already with reasonable groupset too.

Try Bike Pro for Scott or Specialized concept store.

RM2200

If I remember correctly

SORA Groupset
Frame is alloy , fork is carbon with alloy steerer
According to google is 9,48KG
*
SORA groupset.....you may ended up @!#@#%#@$#!@

I would suggest Tiagra as it is rated very well on most cycling magazine.

Thought your budget is ard RM3k? With tis budget, you can get a tiagra grpset.
Frame: alloy and fork carbon are getting more common now

If you are not so into brand, I can suggest you Polygon Helios 300
Full Tiagra Groupset - 18 speed (besides brake is tektro 350)
Wheelset oso not bad - Shimano
Fork - Columbus carbon

Weight - approx 9kg

My frend bike shop can let go at RM2600 region
