tazman Posted October 29, 2007 Posted October 29, 2007 I know this going to be a stupid question but I've NEVER ridden a MTB before and have just gone over to MTB and I'm battling to get me bike setup correct.What is the proper way to setup a MTB? (I don't have the cash or time to go for one of these computer setups) I used to ride a 42 bars on the road, what should it be on MTB?How far back must the saddle be?At what height must the saddle be set?How do I determine the correct stem length for me? Please help!
Reg Lizard Posted October 29, 2007 Posted October 29, 2007 Unfortunately I don't think there is/are (a) simple answer(s) to your question(s). There are too many things that play a role, like for instance what size frame you ride, how long your crank arms are, etc.......
Tumbleweed Posted October 29, 2007 Posted October 29, 2007 get measured up at a bike shop. but, what size road bike did you ride?
Hog_ Posted October 30, 2007 Posted October 30, 2007 Welcome to the dark side dude!! There's no turning back now! I found this thread, thought I'd share. I need to do setup this weekend as well. https://www.bikehub.co.za/forum_posts.asp?TID=16857&KW=setup
