Does anyone know the correct way to adjust trekking poles? Is it 90 degree elbows? (or more or less) or is it just whatever you are comfortable with?

The starting point is 90* elbows, because it's an easy starting point, and then just adjust to your personal tastes.

For example, I like mine a little longer, because I primarily use them on the downhills, so the extra length keeps me from overreaching and getting off balance.
