I'm having Brooks problems. I've got a Pro S; I love the hardness of the seat but the nose is hurting. I've tried putting it down a tad and then my seatbones seem to slide off the supportive part of the seat, giving me the choice of really resting the soft bits on the nose (no way!) or keeping to the back by bracing, which bothers my neck. If I put the nose up, then it is in a bad place. I do like to try to sit back further to keep on the seat and off the nose, but I don't want to put the seat back any further as then I will be to stretched out for my neck (neck problems). If I put it forward, I may fall off the back.
I really want a very flat seat. I think the Brooks isn't flat enough (a concrete seat would be fine, just get rid of the daggone elevated nose). I really like the firmness of the Brooks and don't particularly want much padding (my Brooks isn't broken in yet); the Selle An-Atomica sounded tempting until I read the "sling" part. I want nothing to do with cushy/mushy.
Any suggestions?
