Bummer. I've only used mine sparingly (<1000 miles on commutes) and I suddenly was hearing a squeaking sound, like the sound of new leather shoes. Isolated the sound to my saddle and took a gander. I used a B17 for a number of years and came to realize I like boring modern designs better. This C17 was on sale and I decided "what the hell?". Huh.
I don't want a replacement saddle. I just want a saddle that does what 99% of what other saddles do.
