Many people take their old saddle off, place the Brooks on the seat post, then leave the seat post in the same position, or at the least, they look at how much seat post is showing and try to leave the same amount showing as with their old saddle. The Brooks B17 sits higher than most saddles so in doing this the saddle will be too high.

I kept increasing my saddle height in an effort to be more efficient, I ended up having my saddle too high and had pain, I dropped the saddle height and all is well. I had gone too far.
