Brooks b17 edge question

[BleeckerSt_Girl]

It's true, after you've ridden on it for a few dozen rides or a month or two, it's much easier to tell if you are sitting on the metal frame edge or not. It's hard to tell when you are sore and when you're not used to the saddle yet.

good news! i rode ~25 miles today (with bike shorts on) and it wasn't bad. my soft tissues started getting sore about 2/3 of the way thru the ride, and my sit bones didn't feel great, but they also didn't feel terrible (so maybe it was just pre- broken-in brooks feeling). I also lowered the seat a smidge and slightly changed the angle so that the nose was flat. hopefully this bodes well for the future. fingers crossed!

yeah keep riding! I was afraid of the same thing and have had similar results measuring (or attempting to) my sitbones. I have the B17 imperial and after 60 miles of riding, I now realize that my sit bones weren't used to riding so much yet this season (fellow madisonian who likes to ride in good weather ).

my recent ride didn't cause any pain! Not bad at all seeing that I've ridding fewer than 100mi this season.

Alison,
Where do you ride? Our "usual" ride is to Paoli. From our house it used to be almost exactly 25 miles but now that they've finished the new path it's more like 23 and change.
