Ditto on the suggestion for B17 owners to spend time playing with the tilt if you're having sliding trouble. The right tilt appears to be very much a function of how upright your position is. More upright, more nose up. I don't have a particularly upright position - handlebar tops a bit below saddle on most of my bikes, and I find I need the nose higher than the tail. The pictures of of John's Toei with the Brooks show a pretty extreme nose-down position. In my experience, people are reluctant to bring the nose up as high as it really needs to be. My wife complained about sliding forward on the B67 on her Glorius and I ended up raising the nose to what I thought was a ridiculous amount. "Eureka!" Instant comfort and joy.
Personally, my biggest problem with B17 saddles is the amount they warp and twist. Ted Durant -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
