I have a Ritchey seatpost (don't know the model) and it has a 25 mm setback. I also have a Velo Orange Grand Cru seatpost that has a 30 mm setback. The difference by measurement should be minimal. I picked up a second Brooks saddle, this time in brown, and put it on the Ritchie. I have my first Brooks on the Velo Orange. I noticed a significant difference in the distance between the rear of the seat the the middle of the headset. About 3/4 in. So I switched them. Two questions:

1. Should there really be that much difference between the length of the saddles? I can't believe it's just due to the older one being broken in.

2. Will I notice the difference with the old saddle now being about 3/8 in forward? I realize that's kind of a dumb question because I'll find out as I ride.
