I have no idea about saddles really so this may be a very sill question. I need a more comfortable saddle I think. I like to ride in regular clothes no padded shorts. Sometimes for long distances, on and off road. Aside from width and length, which brooks saddles are appropriate for this type of riding ? Is a cambium? In my 5 years of riding or so I've most ridden retro flite saddles which I've felt mostly comfortable for short distances.
Edit : I've done some reading online but always like to ask lfgss for their superior knowledge .
Once broken in B17 is great in normal clothing. Cambium better than most saddles but it’s the lack of friction with the soft/smooth leather that makes the b17 so good in civvies.
Cheers, I thought there would be a significant difference. I think I may try a c17 out first as I've seen them go for good prices on eBay then will go wit b17 if it doesn't work out. Got loads on my buy list but I think a saddle is most important .
