I have the B17 right now. Maybe I'll get a professional now. I just put on my koobi for the time being until I can get a new saddle. It did strike me as odd that the leather got so soft so quick. I guess when breaking in the new one I'll keep 2 seats and just ride the brooks 10 miles a day or less untill it is broken in. I bike at least 20 miles a day usually just commuting so I may have just tried to do too much too soon. I did tension it up some once it was nice and dry but that didn't seem to help it out too much. I'll see what the company I bought it from says about what I can do. Thanks for the info.
