Diane told me that Team pro S is the same exact saddle only different rails and rivets I told her how my bike positioned but it didn't seem like she had time to talk about or suggest something for me. In the end I cancelled my order for B17S Since I don't believe that it will take care of the chaffing problem I have either. I am really upset because I was really hoping that this saga will end with brooks
But you've only ridden on the Brooks twice! I was very sore for the first 6 or 8 rides on my new Brooks. Now it feels like a dreamy cream puff, like it's not even there.
I feel that our bodies need a little bit of time to adapt to new things- I know mine has. Some things that used to be uncomfortable on my bike no longer are, as my muscles and my position adapt to new postures and angles, etc.
In the Fall I was used to my Brooks and it felt wonderful. Then winter came and I only rode maybe twice a month. Come that first warm week, I rode a lot and found I was sore on my Brooks a little like when it was new. After a few rides all that went away and I was totally comfy again- the saddle hadn't changed...my butt had gotten out of shape!

Sorry the Brooks didn't work out for you. Good luck in your saddle search.
Well,
