Pretty much did the same with mine minus the hair dryer and from ride #1 my B17 was more comfortable than my $119 Specialized Toupe...I started Strava the same day I took my first ride with the B17 and only have 35 miles logged so far in 3 casual local rides and I'm just now seeing the slightest hint of sit bone dimples beginning to form but I think this is different for everyone and very subjective based on rider weight, position and what sort of terrain they traverse...I'm 200lbs on a Crosstrail seated somewhere between road bike drops and bolt upright and?....I do a lot of hopping off and on sidewalks along with the occasional crossing of clumpy grass mediums...flyweights on roadbikes gliding super smooth surfaces?...probably gonna take a while to get theirs where mines at already.
