Friends, My Brooks B67S saddle…the wide saddle with springs…was squeaking so distractingly much that I decided to try the B17S (no springs), and OUCH. So stiff!
I had a B17 many years ago and don’t remember it being so stiff, but I rode lots more then and perhaps I broke it in quickly. My previous B17 was on my Atlantis, which is set up with mustache handlebars, so I wasn’t riding entirely upright…the new saddle is on my Platypus with Choco handlebars, so I sit more upright on it, and I have a feeling my sitbones hit differently on the Platy. Anyway, I’m not getting any younger, and I wonder if there’s a cheating way to soften it up. I’ve been thinking of taking a mallet to it.
