Thanks for all the input! Obviously I had no idea what I was doing! Good thing I asked. As long as I'm at it, let me ask another Brooks- related questions: I have the saddle tilted up slightly in the front, but still feel like I'm sliding forward and putting a lot of pressure on my hands. Do you find that you need to tilt the brooks further backward than other saddles? Any other tips on maximizing comfort? Thanks!
