It is not impossible to find such a position in bikes. However, most people prefer small bikes because they are lighter, stiffer, stronger and more responsive. Experienced bike riders usually associate big frame bikes with newcomers. That is why they avoid bikes with big frames. However, when it comes to performance, those bikes are quite okay. A big frame bike provides a better perch with its weight, rust and squeaks. It gives a comfortable riding position.

Settling on a saddle height is first step to determine proper frame size of bike. The saddle height is distance from top of saddle to center of bottom bracket. The seat tube angle determines this height to some extent. If you go farther behind pedals on your seat, you will be farther away for any given saddle height. The saddle height of your bike should give you a comfortable position with proper leg extension.

The saddle height and fore-and-aft ness should allow you to have a slight bend in your knee at bottom of stroke. After you set saddle height and fore-and-aft ness, you can raise bars slightly to ensure more comfort. Most of riders have tops of bars where drops are. The drops remain down so far that they never get to them. There are various reasons why they cannot raise bars enough. It may be due to a short stem quill or a low stem angle. It may also happen if frame is too small. Sometimes, reason may be a combination of all these. The most common way to raise stem on a bike is with either an up jotter like those you find on some mountain bikes or a long-quill "periscope" style.

* Single-track trail invariably have roots that can make trail rough and tough to ride on. You must try to find best line available. In case you need to ride over roots, seek ones perpendicular to your route. If you are climbing, accelerate just before roots, you would get over them by your momentum.

* Ride as smoothly as you can.

* In case you require steering, braking or pedaling over a bumpy narrow track, be very light.

* While descending, move out of your saddle and keep your limbs relaxed. Make your elbows and knees absorb shock. Use brakes only seldom

* While climbing, most common problem is lack of traction. To overcome it, lean onto your handlebar to exert weight over your front tire.

* To pedal, shift towards front of saddle and keep your arms bent. Do not exert too much pressure on your pedals. In case you pedal hard, you might spin your wheel and impede.

* Continue to look for better line while you are riding.
