Setting Up A New Bike

After receiving the new Moulton TSR9 I have spent the past week trying various saddles, grips, and tires to suit my needs. My final decision which fit my needs is as follows:

Tires: Schwable One 28-406

I had tried the Kojak 35-406 and they noticeably reduced performance.

Saddle: Brooks Swift

First the caved Brooks B17 was used nice but felt large, Secondly the Specialized Expert Pro was actually very nice and I may swap back and forth between the swift and it.

Grips: West Biking 3D Printed

The bike came with Brooks thick leather and were not to my liking, next I tried ergo Brompton grips but they felt a bit sticky. The West biking are ergo and allow air to pass through them and enough cushion for comfort.

Pedals: MKS Sylvan (extra wide)

I did not swap these yet but have ordered the normal width Sylvan Touring highly polished just for aesthetics.
