Current Projects chat and miscellany

I did the Hard Day in January with my saddle at a jaunty angle like that after a too-hasty seatpost changeover the night before. Just looking at Ed's saddle is making my little ones head back inside for shelter again.

I suffer a long term injury to the balls after riding a Manc track rental bike with a jaunty saddle angle, don't know how others manage. A little lean is ok, but the scoblemeisters would be extremely painful for me.

Have either of you used a brooks for rides of any distance? Would be interesting to hear if you found it fine when the saddle is parallel to the ground.

After using mine for a couple of hundred km i found that by tilting it back a bit, I stopped slipping forward on the saddle the whole time (which obviously puts stress on your hands when you have to push yoursef back on the saddle) I've yet to find the perfect balance myself but tilted back is definitely better than parallel with a brook IMO

the nose tilted up is certainly not as bad on the balls as you think, never had any pain, but you do feel the difference in position sure.
