View Full Version : Brooks B17 or B68?

I just measured my sit bones at home with the cardboard method and got 152 cm's, based on reading previous posts will the B17 be wide enough or should I just go for the B68 right off the bat? FWIW, I did just have our third son about 12 weeks ago so since I know my hips shift back much narrower will my sit bones move to? TIA!

where are you getting the saddle from? They probably have both, and many places (like Wallbike) have a great return policy on Brooks saddles.
Welcome to TE btw!

The finesse is a third option, that is what I ride.

I hadn't noticed that one was as wide as the B17 was. I'll have to look at that one to then. Now because they are the same width is it just a matter of comfort between B17 and the finesse? There look like some minor style differences and of course a price difference... I guess I have to go find some where local that carriers them. Thanks!

Pretty good discussion of the different models and fit here:

Thank you! I read through all of that and just ordered a B17 from Wallbike, I figured even if I could find it cheaper somewhere else it's better to know if it doesn't work I can return or exchange it. :D
