Well, 4 rides in the books with the B67. After each of the first three I made
adjustments. Todays ride was the longest - 2 hours. No adjustments.:)

Well, I think I am edging closer to the sweet spot. A big help has been the
arrival of the S83 seatpost. It really helps when fine tuning things. And of
course, it’s beautiful!
I do not know how folks feel about KOPS (knee over pedal spindle for
clarification) fit method. But, I checked mine &
I've tried nose up, and even slightly raised it is numbing. Level works
best for me. When I slide nose up it's uncomfortable. Sliding level is
never a problem. I ride a B67 with chrome springs. I'm a big fellow, and it
sometimes feels bouncy to me, not so much a rocking motion. The saddle
I'm nose up since I like setback and I'm short and the rails angle my
(saddle) nose up when I slide it all the way back and I have a weird size
seatpost I'd post a picture but don't want too many comments that I
always get. I sit on the back not on the front where the nose is up.
That's

I always thought the 'nose up' is required since the B17 shape is like a
hammock, you need the nose up very slightly to get the sit bones
I ride my brooks level, I use a high quality level to ensure this, I never
slide. Nose up gets me numb. Many brooks riders ride nose up. I cannot. If
numbness persists I have read recommendations to put the nose down a bit.

So I installed the B67 this morning and experimented a little. I was pretty
precise about positioning the same as the SQ. I started with the saddle dead
level. Very short ride had me sliding off the saddle - forward. But it felt ok
just slippery. So I figured perhaps that is why I see so many
I’m 140#s, rode. B67 when I was about 150, maybe a bit less. I never noticed
anything from the springs. I used a B68 (no springs) for years, sold them all
stupidly but the 17 seems to work well for me. I got a bit of chafing from the
B68 flare but should have put a couple of holes in it and
Using the SQ “fit kit” (piece of corrugated cardboard!) I get a consistent
measurement of 110mm. The second part of the SQ method for choosing the right
saddle is to add between 10-50 mm to this measurement base on your posture on
the bike. Based on my slightly forward leaning position I would
How wide is the SQ saddle? I have very narrow sitbones and can ride a B17
at 50-60 degrees so not totally upright. There are some easy ways to
measure your sitbone width.

Womens saddle, the Moderate is 198mm wide, if not there is the relaxed
version about 228mm. These have a sweet spot everywhere, so there's no
comparing them with Brooks or many other types. Their foam/gel stuff has to
