i have to tip my brooks up just a mm or 2, and the seat is a brand new wonderful thing. Leveled the B17 is great but the pro is no good, and tilted forward I dislike both. I like the b17 most overall of any saddle ive tried, but want to try the c17, as i hear great things, and they are lighter/ and in theory more waterproof (im in oregon).

So in summary, brooks pro only feels good to me slightly tilted back, and Brooks B17 feels good to me level or slightly tilted back. I also had to lower my post, as the Brooks have a taller profile than my former Terry saddle.

Maybe try tipping it back a touch?

lastly, my wife hates all brooks saddles in any position. for her they feel like a rock. for my skinny bony butt they feel like nothing is there.
