I took me 2 hours to find the right spot, but I'm no expert in riding ergonomy. Make sure it's the ass bones that sit on it, not the perineum area.
I ride with my tools every day, 36 miles RT, and I continue to adjust it every couple of rides, even if only by a hair. I feel like I'm about as close as I can get to finding equilibrium, but the nose is pretty high. It definitely pressures my perineal nerve a bit.

Brooks are not dream come true, they are just better than anything else out there (maybe).
