Inseam

You must be standing on a hard surface, in bare feet (or light cycling socks). Ideally, you will be wearing cycling shorts or long tights.

Place the feet so the medial ankle bones are approximately 5cm apart. This can easily be gauged by slipping the width of the measuring tape case between the ankle bones.
Attach a metric tape to the top of a 12" long dowel rod. Hold the dowel rod horizontally and firmly in the crotch. The metric tape should be centered in the crotch. Centering the measuring tape will give the most accurate inseam measurement. With the rod firmly in the crotch, pull with about the same pressure that you would feel if you were sitting on a bicycle seat. Pull the measuring tape to the floor for the inseam measurement. After you have taken a few measurements and you are confident that you have the most accurate inseam measurement, record this measurement on the fit kit sheet.
