Where did you get this information about bottoming out Brooks Saddles?
From the Brooks FAQ:
"What is the maximum rider weight for a Brooks saddle?
There are no definitive (or published) weight limits for a Brooks Saddles; There are other factors to be considered, such as the riding style of the user, the type of terrain frequented etc. Brooks do offer three heavy duty models; B33, B135 and B190. These are recommended for riders who weight in excess of 20 stones (280 pounds, or 127 kilograms)."

FWIW the OP previously posted that he weighed 255 pounds.
