Slipping in a brooks saddle
 

Is this just something that happens with a new saddle and will it soon go away? My brooks is a few days old and I'm slipping a LOT....as it breaks in, will it get better?

And yes, I'm sorry, everyone is tired of brooks questions, but I promise, I did search.

brooks usually feel best when there is little to no saddle to bar drop. Also try tilting your saddle angle up some.

Brooks work best when you have the nose of the saddle up in the air a little bit. you will instantly be more comfortable. try it.

the nose is already angled up a bit =/

If you ae still slipping forward, angle it up more.

I determine the correct angle by sitting up in the saddle and riding no hands. By not grabbing onto anything you'll really slip forwards if not angled properly.

+1 good call.

Brooks can be pretty slippy when new, the leather will wear in as will the shape and form, to help you keep in place.

My B-17s are angled pretty way up, looks uncomfortable, but is just wonderful. I've also a reasonable saddle to bar drop (by eyesight a couple of inches), but I'm still comfortable on my bike.

Ride it, it'll break in given time - and angle it up as far as you feel it necessary that it keeps you in place and doesn't crush your taint or berries.

My B17 is also angled way, way up. The nose is almost a inch higher than the back of the saddle. If it doesnt numb your dick/ vag/ other, it's fine. Like flimflam my bars are 2" or so lower than the saddle.

That super slippy feeling goes away with a few miles of riding.
