Despite tightening the bracket that holds the Brooks seat rails to the point of overtightening, the rails have popped out of the bracket twice now - once after riding 15 miles and a second time after riding 30.

I am not so sure the Brooks saddle was solving the problem of a very sore butt anyway, so I am back to the stock saddle.

I am wondering if dropping the handlebars a bit to put me in a less erect position will help ease the stress on my butt? I am sitting a bit above the 45-degree position and I understand 45 degrees is a good starting position for a new flat-bar rider. What do you say?

Thanks.
