Bicycle Mechanics - Any tips for getting a B67 to be comfy?

Hi,
I put a B67 on my sister's bike. I have the position roughly correct,
but was wondering if there are things specific to that saddle I should know about.
I got the saddle so that riding on the flats her hips don't rock. Going up a hill sometimes they rock a little.

I was also having trouble getting it set up, and wound up sliding it far forward to
try and diminsh her feeling of sliding forward.

It's a new saddle, would something to soften the leather a bit help?

Thanks.

Brooks sells proofide to soften the leather. I used baseball glove oil. Worked great.

Hi-

I have 3 Brooks saddles of various types on my bikes. Don't move the seat forward, this will put more weight on her hands. Tip the nose up. I actually have to put it several degrees above horizontal before the sensation of slipping forward goes away. Once that happens the saddle is oh so comfy.

I have a hard seat on one bike, and it is most comfortable level, but I have a B67 on another and it works best with the nose slightly up. You'd think that would put pressure on the genital area, but in fact it slides you back onto the fatter part of the saddle. And if you move it back on its rails to get her in the KOPS position, and she feels she is reaching too far forward to the handlebars, you may be able to fix that by raising the handlebars slightly (which also moves them back a bit).

Brooks saddles are very slippery when new. My B67 had me sliding all over the first couple of weeks. That wears off after time in the saddle. If you put some miles on it when it heats up the sweat will also get rid of the slippery feeling. Good luck and give the saddle a chance to break in.

Is not "hips rocking" a sign the saddle is too high to begin with?
