I've got a Brooks and an old Ti flite.. both have done me well for a long time. My first ride on the brooks was the Dunwich Dynamo (what was I thinking?) and I didn't get any saddle pain at all.
Except recently I've been getting undercarriage pressure, I think I need to move my saddle forward, but when I'm on the bike I feel like I want to stretch out. I spend most of my time on the hoods, reckon I should try a longer stem and move saddle forwards?
Also, keep your Brooks' out of the rain.. Mine got damp, and quickly developed a ridge down the middle. Not really sure what to do about this, cos it seems like stretching the adjustment out a smidgen would only tighten things up and accentuate the ridge, correct?
