Stuart Hall Cycling offers a variety of full-carbon Dream, Specialized, Kyota and Etape bikes for rental in Mallorca.

Bike specification

All bikes are full-carbon with Shimano 105 groupsets and weigh about 8kg. They have 34/50 chainsets and either 12/28 or 12/32 cassettes.

Please note that bikes are set up with brakes the same way round as in the UK, with the front brake on the right. We regret that we are unable to supply bikes with brakes the other way around, and we do not have any hire bikes with disc brakes.

Cost

Bikes start at £17.50 per day for customers booking their cycling holidays with us, £25 per day otherwise (subject to availability). We also charge a fixed bike insurance fee of £15 per rental.

Bike sizing

In order for us to ensure that your hire bike is the right size and correctly set up for you, we require you to provide two measurements when booking: your height and your seat height, both in centimetres.

Height
The first measurement we need is your height, in cms. If you don’t know it, the best way to measure it is with your back against a wall, without shoes on.
 
Seat height
The second measurement we need is your seat height, in cms. You can either measure this directly from your bike or calculate it from your inside leg measurement.

To measure your seat height directly from your bike, you need to measure from the centre of the bottom bracket to the top of the saddle, in line with the seat post as shown in the diagram below:

To calculate seat height from your inside leg measurement, first measure your inside leg by standing with your back against the wall having removed your shoes. Hold a book up into your crotch with similar pressure to a bike saddle and measure from the floor to the top of the book. Please note that inside leg measurement is not your trouser length. You can then approximate your seat height by multiplying your inside leg measurement by 0.883.

Booking your bike

If you are coming on one of our cycling holidays, you will have the option of hiring a bike during the booking process. You then need to provide your two measurements and we will set it up for when you arrive. Any special requirements can be requested when booking and we will do our best to accommodate them, although anything non-standard may come with an additional charge. We regret that we are not able to fit power cranks to our hire bikes.

We also offer bike hire for customers not on our cycling holidays for £25 per day, subject to availability. While we are in Mallorca, bikes must be collected from our main hotel of operation, the Playa Mar in Puerto Pollensa. To book, please contact us specifying exactly what you need – the two measurements, dates and contact details.

What you need to bring

All bikes come with a spare inner tube, tyre levels, pump and 1 or 2 bottle cages (some extra-small bikes can only fit 1 bottle cage, all the others have 2 bottle cages).

You must bring your own shoes, pedals, helmet and water bottles. Anyone wishing to bring their own saddle is welcome to do so. We have women’s specific saddles, so please request one if you would like one. We also have a limited number of pedals and helmets for rent – please ask.

Your bike will be ready for collection from 09:00 hours on the first paid day of rental. Bikes must be returned no later than 16:30 hours on the last day of rental. Late return of your hire bike will result in an additional day’s charge.
