> Stem: The stem affects your reach. It is probably the most common part to be swapped out since many riders have longer or shorter torsos or arms compared to the average that the bike manufactures built the bike around. ($20–$250, with an average being around $40)
> Handlebars: The width and depth of the handlebars also affects your reach. ($40–$300)
> Shims: These are tiny wedges that sit inside your shifters and help bring the brake lever closer to the handlebar for smaller hands. ($5–$10)
> Seatpost: Some posts have seat attachment points that will help bring the saddle forward or back. ($20–$200)
> Saddles (Seats): The other most commonly changed part of the bike. They are very individual to the rider. After an hour in the saddle, your bottom will tell you if the fit is right. ($40–$400)
> Cables: If a stem or handlebar swap makes the reach significantly farther away, all your cables may need to be replaced with longer ones. ($20–$60—labor to change them is sometimes not included)
> Bar Tape: Some bodies need more padding in the handlebar tape to help absorb shock. It’s common to either upgrade to a softer, thicker tape or put a thin layer of vibration-absorbing material underneath your bar tape to increase the cushioning.
