Will starting to break in on one bike and then switching to another cause problems?
My riding position isn't the best on the mt bike and I feel that I cannot get the saddle positioned far enough back (a la Sheldon Browns saddle positioning article) and it feels a little off too.
When I started riding my Brooks, I had it on my mtn bike which was my commuter bike. That worked really well because my commute was 6.5 kms ... then I had a break from the saddle while I was at work ... and then it was 6.5 kms home. When I started feeling a bit more comfortable with the saddle, and about when the pre-dent rough patches started to show up, I switched it to my road bicycle.
