Hi Suzie, sorry just saw your post!!!
Well I returned my B17 and had a feeling that I made a wrong choice by sending it back. So couple of days after thanks to Stella, Mimi and Lisa I decided that I will give Brooks a second choice, and ordered Team Professional "S". It came this Thursday and I took it for a first ride today for 20 hill training miles. WOW, let me tell you there is a huge difference and in a good way. I adjusted in a level position so that the nose is a bit tilted up, but since this saddle does not have such flared up back it's not significant tilt. I was not sliding as much and it was not anything close to my slidingon on B17. I was able to pick a place on the back part and stay there and even shift around a little bit. I was able to keep my pelvis in neuteral position like Knotted calls it ( bowl with water). By the end of the ride I didn't chaffe ( i made sure to put some bodyglide along with baby cream) and I didn't have any pressure problem with the nose. Overall it was much comfortable than my Selle Italia Max flite Gelflow and it's only my first ride on it.
If you bought your B17 from Wallbike, maybe you should consider getting B17S or Team professional. Maybe like me you just need a little wider nose transition from the back for more support. I think women's version has different surface shape than original models. Also, my left (shorter leg) was not bothering me while climbing, it was going in smooth circles easily. I am going on a club ride tomorrow 40 miles, I will post how it will play out on a longer ride.
Hope this helps you,
