[#6062331]

I've searched far and wide but I can't find information on the geometry of my 2006 Kinesis Raceligth RC2 road bike.
Anyone know where I can find it?
I've contacted Kinesis but not heard back yet.

are you looking for frame angles?

there's lots of free angle finder apps for smart phones that would help and the tube lengths can just be measured.

yep - can you recommend an Android app?
the bike has a low drop top tube so measuring effective tube lengths for comparison with other bikes is a bit of a faff.

not used one myself but any of the free clinometer ones should be ok.

You could always try two or three and see if they say the same thing?

measuring an effective TT is a POP!

All you need is a tape measure and something level if you can't judge that by eye.

if you need two things to measure one thing, it's a faff. ๐Ÿ™‚

Measure height of top of headtube above the floor.

Using measuring tape mark seat post with a pencil at the same height from the floor.

Measure distance between top of headtube and mark on seat post.
