I think I got a hint of numbness this morning, but I'm not sure. I need to give it another week or so and get a longer ride in. At least I was dreading getting on my bike this morning like I was with the B17.
It'll soften up pretty quickly if you keep riding on it, apply the Proofide, and have it at the right angle. (i.e. back far enough that it takes some weight off of your wrists and prostate area, but forward far enough that it isn't causing numbness in your weiner. I've read that the sprung models don't break in as quickly as the unsprung ones, which makes sense. The most important thing is to get it to a comfortable angle.

Keep us posted in this thread, and also, feel free to troll on computer platform faith too!
