hi, i have a brooks b-17 in my hybrid-mtb bike it´s pretty confortable, i wolud say perfect...
the problem is that i take this saddle and put it on my road bike with more stepest seat tube and more drop betewen saddle and bars, and it was not confortable, to much pressure on may hands and the nose off the saddle was very noticiable in the hoods and especially in the drops.
the question is.
1° have the swift or the team pro longer rails than the b-17? for get more seatback and relieve pressure fron may hands.
2°are the swift or team pro better for ride with more drop from saddle to handlebar?
my doubt here is that the b-17 before the break-in was a flat saddle, after the break-in it transform to a concave saddle with the nose rised, with may flat bar level to the saddle tha was not problem but in my road bike the rised nose is very inconfortable with my intime parts:blush2:
i read that the swift and team pro are more suited for ride with more drop but im concerned if afeter the break-in this saddles would get a rised nose, just like hapend with the b17
