I agree The nose and back of the saddle should relatively at the same height. If you are sliding forward tilt the nose up a bit until you no longer slide forward. These saddles take a little work to break in however my first B17 was comfortable right out of the box it just took 20 kilometers to get angle dialed in. Then they just get more comfortable. I have 4 Pro's mounted as well as Swift with a couple spare Pros waiting for the day they too get to be ridden.
I have worn out a couple over the years and find that when they start to sag and get really soft you should tighten them a bit.
