Congratulations!

Cograts on the new ride! Can't wait to see those pics.

When I first tried out my Brooks saddle I slid around so easily it startled me while riding. Made me kind of nervous at times. One thin coat of proofide and it took care of the problem. No sliding around anymore.

I put a thin coat on, let it sit overnight then gave it a nice buff in the morning. Oh, also coated the underside per instructions.

Four rides on it and I'm still dialing it in. Hoping this next one will do the trick.

Have fun!

Congratulations on your new Satellite! I'm a big fan of steel in general and also a satisfied Jamis owner.

However, you surely must know we need photos...otherwise this didn't really happen.

(Nothing like nagging a new bike owner for photos when they'd rather be out enjoying their new ride...)

Gosh I still have to proofide my saddle yet! Now, they told me at the shop to put it on the underside and not the top...they said it would get all over my shorts when I ride. But I'm going to do what you did...sounds like a good plan.

It took a few adjustments, but I finally got the saddle in the perfect position. NO MORE SMASHED GIRLY BITS!! I finally feel my sit bones on the saddle...I have never felt that before! Amazing. This saddle is comfy right out of the box.

All in all, I am in love. I feel like I could hop on this bike and ride 50 miles easily. I took it up this last weekend to northern Michigan, as I wanted to see how it would be with hills. OMG! It was like pedaling silk! I could not believe I was climbing hills...! There was only one hill I couldn't get up, and that was the one up to our condo where we were staying, and it was VERY steep. I didn't sweat it. I was very happy!

Congratulations! I am so glad that you are having such a good time on your beautiful new bike. I am still dealing with fitting issues with my new bike, but the ride is so smooth that it is sweet even through the "issues" which will be settled in just a few days. That steel is very much like riding through silk!

Pictures now please, we simply must see your beautiful Jamis!

Getting a new bike is almost like getting a new car. So exciting.
Now, for the old chorus "This thread is useless without pictures!"

The Proofide instructions that came with my Team Pro S said to apply to the underside and put just a little on the top. Let the top dry and then buff out to keep it off the clothes. Also, NOT to use Proofide on the upperside of the Aged saddles.
