On the BFSB5 spin bike how low does the seat go down I am 5ft, and can I change the pedals for my spin shoes

My 5'3" client is reaaaallly at her limit with the bikes lowest seat position so that may be a struggle. The pedals are threaded so should be interchangeable to switch out for spin shoes though

I cut the seat post in two places...the hollow oblong tube and the solid gooseneck.I woud think the pedals can be changed out like any others.

I'm 5'2" and I find it comfortable. I do not have the seat set at its lowest but I do have the handle bars set at its highest setting. The seat itself is also adjustable for angle and of course you can move it forward or backward. You have to play with the settings until you find the combinations of positions that suit your overall frame but then you would have to do that with any bike. Hope this helps.

My wife uses the bike. She is 5'4" and loves it. But I really don't know for someone shorter than her. However, I do think it might be possible to "block" the pedals for someone shorter.

I just purchased this bike and I'm just under 5' 5" and have the seat set at MAX in order to get full range of motion, without hyperextending my knees. I can't imagine anyone taller getting full ROM.

Im not home now but im 5 foot 1 inches tall and i dont pull it all the way forward. The resistance is pretty tough on level 1 though. Just FYI. Mu husband doesnt think so but hes a marathon runner. Im only a halfarathoner. Lol. My 12 year old can touch the pedals from the front spot but resistance gives about a level 2 to 3 type workout even whwn set on level 1.

I'm 5'6" and not much more inseam than you & I can ride it OK. Perhaps with the seat adjusted properly, you might be able to. However, the length of the pedal bar (whatever it's called...) may give you a problem, but I don't think it would, if, as I mentioned, the seat is properly adjusted. Do remember this is a bike with 26" wheels. Sorry I didn't reply earlier. I was on vacation & not checking my mail.

I read at Schwinn the pedal is 19" off the ground at the highest level..so add that to your height

Hello I gave the bike as a gift to my godson I'm not quite sure. However believe the low position goes down to the bike itself. The highest position wa more my concern because my godson is tall for his age. It's a very nice well made bike. If your child is growing fast though, they may out grow it quickly.

I am 5'3 and I do have to wear tennis with my Airdyne with the seat on lowest level. Even though I don't mind a little top of foot to pedal either.

I am 5'1" and I could not pedal comfortably on this bike with the seat in the lowest position. However, my husband had 2 inches removed from the seat frame, and now I am to pedal without any problem

I am 5'10" with a 32" inseam, my wife is 5'3 with a 29" inseam and the bike fits us great. She can go down another 2-3" if needed, and I can go up another 2-3" if needed. I bought 2 bikes, one for the wife and one for me...we love them, they are still running strong after many miles....if your looking for a good ol spin bike without a bunch of fancy electronics then this is the bike for you

You'd definitely be able to use it. There is no low end on the height limit. I'm 6'3 and its almost at its limit, but it'll definitely be fine for shorter users. I've found the pedals are rather easy to break if you're going hard and standing, but they are replaceable.

At 5' 2" you will have trouble reaching the ground from the seat wth any bike with 26" wheels. I am 6' and if I adjust the seat to allow for full leg extension when pedaling (the distance between the seat and the pedal at the bottom of its rotation should be 103% of you inseam) I too have trouble reaching the ground. On a bike with a women's frame or a men's frame you shouldn't have trouble standing over the bar when off the seat. If you do the frame size (the length of the tube me from the crankset to the seat) is too large for you. My daughter is 5' 4" and the recent bike we got for her is a 17" frameless and fits her well.

I'm 5'2" and don't have a problem with the pedals but have a problem with the seat. It is too long and the back of my thighs hit it as I pedal. Don't know if this is due to my height though. Yes, it does go backwards and the monitor tracks it as well.
