When I first started drinking the koolaid a couple of years ago, I started with a B17. Although it was much better than the Terry Fly it replaced, (on my then fast bike with handlebars below seat,) I started to have chafing on my inner thighs. I thought a narrower saddle would fix that, and I am now very happy with Team Pros on my QB and Ram with bars even. I have one bike with a B17 still, a Kogswell P/R with Alba bars, but that is my commuter and rarely goes more than 15 mi at clip.
I have old Team Pros from ebay that work, and I have two new ones that took 500mi with Profhide that all fit fine for me with my width hips (technically ishial tuberosity distance). I think the saddle needs to fit width wise for the most comfort, and don't think the thickness of the leather matters much in that regard. The thicker leather may last longer, but I would defer to those who have put a few thousand miles or more on one. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
