I am trying to like my brooks champion flyer. It is my first brooks, so I'm not sure about how I should sit on it exactly. I like how it looks and (usually) feels, and I like the road shock dampening springiness.
I have put Around 400 miles on it.
Occasionally I have some pain from it (I think) on my taint, right in the, erm, middle (?), right under/behind the jewels.
Is it tilted up too high? I have adjusted and re-adjusted it, and as it sits now, is the least tilted back I could get it without feeling like I was sliding forward on it while pedalling.
Should I try and tilt it more forward and just deal with the sliding a bit in the hopes my butt will flatten out the back portion of the saddle in time?
Also, don't know if this is related to the saddle or my pedals, but my right foot foot goes a little numb on long rides. It feels like lack of circulation maybe...(?)
So, should I keep it, ride, and hope that the dreaded 'wear in' will happen, or just return it (wallingford warranty), and seek other saddle options?
