I do think that Brooks saddles are more finicky in regard to positioning than most other saddles, in that only a small difference in tilt or set back can make a huge difference in comfort. Once I find that sweet spot, I HATE to move my saddle or seatpost.
Totally agree here but I have an upright urban bike and a drop bar road bike and I tilt both noses down slightly so I don't feel them. As a result, I have to maintain some psuh back to keep my bones on the wide part of the seat. But after a while it feel natural. The narrow front is just there to keep your seat oriented between your legs so you have good position.
That's another thing. You HAVE to position youself correctly on a Brooks and you have to work that effort into your routine until it is an easy second-natured thing to do.
