When I get another bike, either new or used, I set it up in a way that suits me. Here are the type of things I do.
My preferred type of bike is a mountain bike.
I fit a long seat post, so I can raise the seat higher than normal. I am taller than average.
I fit a large seat. I like this for comfort.
I fit a steering tube extension so I can raise the handlebars. On some bikes I need to lengthen the brake and gear cables.
I fit lights.
I fit a carrier rack on the back so I can carry things.
I fit mudguards.
Some people may think this is unusual, particularly fitting a carrier rack and mudguards on a mountain bike.
How do you set up your bikes?
