duplicate saddles for different bikes?

My road bike's "squishy" saddle doesn't agree with me, while my mtb's hard saddle does. Should I
get the same hard saddle for both bikes, or is the different riding position likely to make a
substantial difference to my groin?

I have the same saddle on five different bikes. My butt feels a familiar friend every time.

Try swapping 'em? I (unknowingly) bought a fairly hard road saddle for my MTB, and then bought a
road bike that came with a "squishy" saddle. I recently swapped them to see how it goes, and so
far so good.

Put Brooks on all your bikes and your butt will thank you

The saddles of my tourer and my MTB are both identical (Brooks B17) except that the one on my MTB
has springs.

May you have the wind at your back. And a really low gear for the hills! Chris

Absolutely use the same saddle. I've got Flite saddles on all my bikes.

Same here. Once I find what works for me, I go with it.

Why don't you take the saddle that you like off of that bike and try it on the other bike? Moving a
saddle only takes a few minutes. When you go for a test ride, take along the right wrenches to do
some adjustments on the road. Angle and setback might need to be slightly different.
