The short rails on the Brooks always caused me problems with normal setback seatpost which is why I originally went looking for a solution. If Brooks would lengthen their rails I bet they get more customers.
I get it and am so glad the Brooks work for me, they epitomise C+V to my old brain and no bike is proper to me without one, gonna really suck if and when my backside changes its mind.
