Brooks Saddles

Sure is, Lisa.

Rode the Kona 29er for a really long rails-to-trails ride a couple of weeks ago and decided it has to have a B67! I don't ever want to be in that kind of pain again. I'm going to save the MTB saddle on its own seatpost for times when we decide to do aggressive downhill riding, but this bike is usually used for long trail rides. The Brooks on my commuter is perfect, and my position is similar on the 29er. I rarely wear bike shorts on the Brooks and I never have any pain, no matter how long the ride. I had sitbone pain for the first few rides a couple of years ago when I first got it. Then the pain went away and never came back. I ride year-round so I don't have those "break in" rides at the beginning of the season.

It's amazing how comfie the Brooks saddle is--even on a mtb. Say goodbye to those hot spots and sores from inferior saddles.

I'd just spend a lot of money looking for the comfort I already have with my Brooks. We did a long ride, and the only thing that was complaining was my bum. Yoga is making my back and arms much stronger and more flexible. I felt like I could have ridden all day if my poor nether regions weren't complaining so loudly!

I get funny looks from my lbs when I bring in my mtb with a Brooks. But you know, as you get older you care less what others think and you slap a good ol' classic saddle on that weighs a pound and you finish strong and in less pain than the naysayers.

Have you seen the Brooks Select organic saddles?

This is kind of funny about you MTB riders feeling out of place when you have a Brooks.
When I first started with my Brooks, people told me it wasn't appropriate for road bikes!!

It's appropriate for my butt and that's all that matters.

Brooks should adopt this as their new company slogan.

I think the reason mtb'ers are reluctant to use a Brooks is because of 1) cost, 2) it's too purty to get muddy 3) the nose is hard as heck.
