B66 for touring?
Hello all,
I know it's been discussed a lot and I searched previous posts to find the answer, but I still have to ask opinions of Brooks users.
Yesterday I got a Brooks B66. I plan to use it for touring. Since my touring-commuting bike has no suspensions, I thought it'd be good idea to have a sprung saddle. But after I got the B66, I red some reviews about B66 being more a saddle for city use and the real "tourers" are B17 and the Flyer. The heavy weight and the old style two-rail connection of it made me think as well.
What do you think, is B66 a good saddle for touring or should I try to change it with a B17 or a Flyer instead?
Since I have two bikes, I could actually get the B17 as a second saddle as well.
So I'd like to hear your opinions: Should I keep the B66, change it with something else or get another saddle for my tourer and use the B66 with my mountain/hybrid bike (which has front suspension if it matters).
Thanks in advance
