One article I read said that the Brooks should be level front to back.
PS. I'm a touring cyclist, and sit in a more upright position(U know old age)!!!!
Thanks, James
You'll likely get all sorts of opinions on this. I used to have mine pointed down too much and upon the advice of some forum members finally decided to nose it up a bit. It has helped my arms/shoulders i think. Otherwise I think anyting around level is probably good, just depends on your preference.
