Brooks saddles have a reputation for having short rails, and many people can't get them back far enough. This may be because they were originally designed when bikes had less-steep seat tube angles, so they have rails that have the flat spots farther back, meaning the saddle will end up farther forward. Worth looking into in any case. This thread has more on the subject.
