Your bike fits different on different bikes?

[lungimsam]

1. Do you set your bikes up the same way fit measurement-wise. Or do you have different fit setups for each bike?

 

2. Easy to ride different bikes with different setups, or feels great whatever you are on?

[PATRICK MOORE]

Largely the same for all, though I have the bar on the Fargo higher.
The reach is the same (to hoods, my reference point for bars.

Am thinking of getting a bike that will force me to ride easily, with
upright bars and fat saddle, but the road bikes and Fargo *are* very
comfortable.

I try to set my bikes up differently where possible, like skinnier/fatter tires, maybe saddle type, bar height, half-step gearing or wide triple, etc.    The variety is the spice.        But some aspects have much more overlap across the fleet-  for example I have noodle bars on 4 bikes right now.    I just really, really like those bars.  I can ride with them all day, and have done it many times, wrists and hands comfortable like it was nothing.    

I wish Riv would come out with a steel version of the Noodles-   maybe in sizes 42 and 46 cm.    I seem to remember a blug post mentioning that as a possibility a while ago, but I don't know if it's been deprioritized among all the other things Riv has been developing lately.

I have bikes with drops, bullmoose, and bullhorn (rb-019) bars. Each
setup is quite different though I think the body positions are not as
different as one might expect. In any case I like them all.

My two bikes are identical but I have multiple handlebar arrangements explicitly designed to give me different ride experiences. All are generally high-bar. But there's "high" as in a large frame with an extended head tube and max'd out Nitto Bullmoose bar ... and then there's "high" as in non-moosey Bosco bar on a not quite max'd out Tallux.

I love the variety and am convinced that for me 95% of bike comfort for 50-mile-or-less rides is all about where your butt is in relation to the pedals and the wheelbase.

Yours,

My saddle height is measured and the same on all my bikes. Otherwise they vary greatly and are all enjoyable.

"where your butt is in relation to the pedals and the wheelbase."

 

How so? I am very curious about this as I am trying to figure this out for my own setup.

 

Thanks for any advice/ideas.
