Great advice Matt.

Here's where the various difference begin. I like my Brooks and leather saddles level, or in some cases the nose down, but only so slightly that you need a level to realize it.

FWIIW, I find gel saddles hurt more then leather ones. After about 5 miles my sit bones ache beyond belief on a gel, even when it is on shock absorber seatpost and the saddle has springs. After 30 miles on an un-sprung Brooks, I barely know I've been sitting.
