I have a newish gravel bike, and a 13yo road bike (recent fitting). I ride my gravel bike like a road bike and wanted to get a similar feel to my road bike.

Gravel bike is okay most days, but now and then I get sore sit bones and feel too close to the bars. Same saddle both bikes. I’ve done rides as long as the road bike long rides, and the discomfort is infrequent, but when I’m feeling it...it sucks.

I can try and pick up some parts and solve it myself. Unfortunately I can’t get back to the shop where I had the fitting on the road bike. I fear that if I get a fitting on the gravel bike the guy will tell me all is well or make only the slight adjustments (same as when I got fit when I bought it 8 months ago).

Seat height is the same (inside heal of shoe to top of saddle...same area both bikes).

Setback on gravel bike is 10mm further back. I can’t go more forward as I run out of rail. Post has 20mm setback. Thinking I need a 0mm post.

If I match setback I’ll then be that much closer to the bars, which is already 10mm shorter and 10mm less drop). Guessing I’ll need 10mm more stem. I’m okay a bit more upright, but could drop spacers off needed.

Thoughts? I’m not sure which route I’ll go...
