Brooks still isn't broken in...

we had a b17 that was that way. We sold it to a very large heavy man and he loved it.
So try Bleeks suggestion, slather that thing in grease. (And talk to whomever you bought it from first)

I think it's a myth that Brooks saddles magically get broken in. It's supposed to be pretty hard an stay hard. I'd try adjusting your saddle position, such as fore/aft tilt, height, etc.

[Biciclista]

untrue. They do get broken in. Perhaps what that means is what you are referring to as the myth.
It might take 10 years for it to be actually soft, but the saddle does change, in weeks or months; both visually and to the feel on your backside. On my saddle, you can see where my sitting bones are. there is the slightest indentation.

and remember, your sitting bones themselves must get conditioned.

My Brooks never got broken in, either. I hated the thing and sold it to someone on TE.
Maybe being a lightweight makes it worse?

[Biciclista]

Crankin, i think so. It took me longer to break mine in (i've had several!) but i know it's going to happen. I can ride a brand new brooks saddle though, (if it's not like that B17) and not have problems.
If it's positioned correctly, you should know it's good right away.

thanks ladies! Yeah, I can attest that they do get broken in. They feel like my old riding saddles (horse riding) when they are broken in. I have been putting saddle conditioner on it fairly frequently - I guess it just takes time. Nope, it isn't that uncomfortable, but I wouldn't want to ride all day for 4 days on it on a tour at the moment... though, that may be a good way to break it in . One of my friends' Brooks got rained on (not the best idea), but it rapidly broke in after that... since we haven't seen rain in months, I'm not sure is an option either. I'll just keep riding in it and one day, I'll look at it, and wahlah, it will be magically broken in

Are you sure its not an adjustment issue? I moved a brooks saddle that I knew was broken in from my commuter to a new road bike, and it felt like it wasn't broken in again, UNTIL, I tweaked the nose down a tad. On my Brooks saddles, I level the nose, which means the rear is higher. And tiny adjustments can make a HUGE difference in comfort. Look at the saddle angle in this pic to see what I mean.
