If I were you, yes, I'd give Brooks another try, because I've already been down that road and i am a lot less tolerant of pain than you are. (I never let it get that bad. if it hurt, i got off the bike!)

BUT I'm not you. and btw, if your legs are different lengths this might be an issue, Triskelion has that problem too.
(you might send her an IM!)
If Diane said they are basically the same saddle, you'd just be wasting time trying that saddle.


keep trying. it's worth it!

good luck
