The saddle quest continues, much to my irritation. Brooks seems to be the only saddle that does not cause inner chafing
for me. (Where the leg meets the pelvis). Had a Brooks B17, liked it until 30 miles, then my female bits hurt. Got the Imperial,
which I rode for 60, and I felt like my f.bits were being pinched. SO,...suggestions ladies? My bum hurts at the sit bones area,
and I feel like I might be sitting on the rivets? I Think the b67 may be my best option, but it is shorter than the B17. The Conquest looks
good and gives me 5 mm length over the B17. Any help greatly appreciated.

Good luck in your search. I've tried multiple saddles with and without a cutout and multiple shorts with varying shammy thicknesses and I still have problems with chafing on the female parts. I'm currently using the B17 and really like it. Works well for all the other parts.

Thanks for the reply. I got a B17 on ebay yesterday. How long until your sit-bones didn't hurt?

I never had any pain with the b17, but I had been riding on other saddles for a year before getting the Brooks.

You didn't mention what type of bike you are putting this on and what type of riding position and/handlebars, All of those are going to come into play as you probably know, each position puts your "sits" in a different spot. Hope the B17 is the answer!
