Hi, first Bmx, i Feel like when i ride it, the bars are low, my knees might hit the handlebars and overall it feels kinda small. Maybe im just not used to a BMX yet.

22” wheeled bike
The frame fits u great. But I’d look into taller bars tho. Your back will thank you
Get bigger bars the frame is fine, I’m 6’1 and I run odyssey 10-4 bars.
I’m 6’2 and went with a 10” rise bar. Feels great maybe you just need a higher bar?
Is it comfortable..?
That is ALL that matters, sizing guides are for selling bicycles to kids and are all but irrelevant to bmx
Try a 10” or 10.5” rise bar. You could also look at 21.8” frames.
Im your height
My TT is 22″ on a 24inch wheel bike. I ride 11 inch bars . It still feels too fuckin’ small, not in operation, but standover. Bmx has always felt cramped. May look into 12 inch bars but the geo is getting to be so ridiculous at that point. Looking into a 63mm profile push stem. Maybe a taller fork to be able to run some spacers. Switching my 175mm to my 165mms. S&M bars are great but heavy. Something like Shadow Vultus is significantly lighter while still being comparably strong
In 6’1″ I used to ride a 21.25, now I ride a 20.75 just to cruise around on.
Hoder? 😂
I have found that it’s mostly about feel. I’ve seen guys your height run 20 inch TT frames. If it feels good, run it!
No it’s perfect for your height 21.25-21.5” would be reccomended
6’2 with a 21.25 TT
I run 8.5 rise bars with a top load. While bigger bars help, it’s not necessarily the bigger you are the bigger the parts need to be.
I like to think our height gives us an advantage! (6’5” too!).
OP that’s a nice lookin setup. Wanna show it off? What are you riding?
6’4” and ride a 9.5” bar with a front load. It’s all preference. Whatever feels good to you.
Look into a Mike Hoder bike check, you are built very similarly, so much so that I thought this was a shit post with a picture of him lol
I’m same size ride small bars n frame
