Maybe a better question is do you guys find the standard Brooks top slippery? Or once it gets broken in do you settle in and not slip?
I have my saddle set at bar height, so there's no tendency for me to slide forward. The slickness of the B17 allows me to move side to side a bit, but not enough to be annoying.
