Brooks B68 and B68S

was the seat far back enough?
if you felt the rivets, your butt was too far back.

Yes I would say shove the saddle all the way back to start with. That's how mine is and it's great that way for me.
When you say it's "too short", do you mean the nose or the back of the saddle?

[Nokomis]

I'm not xl - the seat felt too short note to end to give me room to scoot around. It definately felt too hard, but the only thing feeling anything was the sit bones... and no matter if I scooted forward or back I always felt like I was hitting the edge.

[BleeckerSt_Girl]

Sounds to me like you are not used to feeling all your weight on your sitbones. Is that possibly what the issue is?

[Nokomis]

sharp pain? and that being the only part of the body that feels like it is touching the saddle?

[mimitabby]

and do you have padded shorts?
Do your sitting bones hurt when you sit on a wooden chair?

[Nokomis]

padded shorts - yep
wooden chairs - the only one I've had to sit on is my dining set, and those have a nice concave seat that is comfortable to sit on. I've toned up the ol' backside quite a bit over the last few months - not a lot back there to give cush (lol - actually, look a bit like the flying girl in my avatar)

Unless it's raining like mad when I get home, I'll get back out on the bike try to find more intelligent words to use and spend time making adjustments. I think I lost my patience last night ~ yay pms + allergy overload.
Appreciate the questions
