Current Projects chat and miscellany

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.

I haven't used a Brooks full stop, and I wasn't really trying to wade into the debate, just tell a story about my balls. I've been fine with Flite saddles so far, and Rolls seem to suit me as well, and Brooks wouldn't really suit any of my builds.

I am slightly amused by all the flak Ed brings on himself, but if his ugly-as-fuck saddle and bar positions are the most comfortable then that's definitely the most important thing.
