This thread has been so helpful to me. I finally realized I'm not sitting far enough back on my saddle. I'm skootching forward. So I need to do a little adjusting.
Thanks all,
I took a look at Mimitabby's Brooks B67 today. Didn't sit on it, cuz I want my first Brooks sit to be on MINE, which I should get on Tuesday. I must say it is a very handsome saddle, and looks incredibly comfortable. (speaking as one of the wide sitz bones club) I rode behind her and watched to see if the springs sprang her all over the place, and really they never seemed to move!
Oooh, I can hardly wait to get my Brooks!
Got my Brooks B67 today! So fast!
It's miraculous. Read my review in the "Favorite Saddles" - "Brooks" thread.
(oh, man, it is SO COOL to have a saddle that FITS!!!!)

Thanks everyone, you have been really helpful.:)
i am pretty new to cycling... just broke 230 total miles on my first real bike - it has a brooks saddle that has been broken in by someone else. (doesn't seem to matter. i like it a lot.) i have a problem though...
the girly-bits are really taking a beating, so i tilted the saddle down to just about level. now i can't figure out how to sit on the thing without sliding (or at least i feel like i'm sliding) forward. so can someone tell me what the "right way" is to sit on a road bike? i have looked at several sources and the answer seems to be "whatever is comfy for you". i am having trouble figuring out how to position myself so that i have my sit bones on the right part of the seat and still pedal at my normal speed. i have adjusted several things (bar height, bar tilt, saddle height, etc.) in an effort to find that magical combo, but i am not sure that i am in the overall "correct" position. riding in the drops is not all that comfy as my torso is long and my legs are short, but if i have the seat level, that is the only comfy way to sit... am i the only one who can't get comfy?:mad:
...any thoughts?
No I dont think thats weird we are all different. I think mine is only about 4.5.:)Quote:
