| Cranks on my Riv are 172.5, 175 on the Fargo, but my road bike also has 172.5 (5.5cm setback).
I still have room on the rails of the Riv, just have to change my saddle bag (to one without a quick release). I’ll report back in a week or so! Jason On Apr 28, 2024, at 1:56 AM, Brenton Eastman <brenton.east...@gmail.com> wrote:

Is your crank length the same on both bikes? On Saturday, April 27, 2024 at 10:01:24 PM UTC-5 brenton...@gmail.com wrote:
On my Hillborne and Roadini I am running brooks B17 almost at the max fwd position. Not sure what to compare it to but both are super comfy. I also have 57cm (both bikes) but I'm 6'1"

I've been enjoying my first Riv, a Roadini, since getting it in February. Just one thing I feel like I'm struggling with, saddle set back.
It's a size 57, I'm 5'11 and my PHB meant a 57 or 54 would work. It came with the setback seat post and that put me really far behind the BB compared to my other bikes, so I got a zero offset post and that helped things, but I'm still running my Brooks C17 pushed 3/4 of the way forward on the rails. Funny thing is my Salsa Fargo, which has a 73 degree ST angle, vs. 72 on the Roadini, running the same saddle, and less set back (also on a zero offset post). I can feel the difference when I'm pedaling; on the Fargo, my pedal stroke feels really good. On the Roadini it feels like the pedals are out in front and I'm over-using posterior chain in an unnatural pedal stroke. I measure setback on both bikes and the Fargo is coming out as saddle 5.5cm setback from BB, 7cm on the Roadini.
Anyone else notice this? I may try pushing the saddle all the way forward on the rails, then maybe set post up a bit, but wanted to ask this question first.
Thanks!
