I can ride all day on a tour with no chaffing!Jim Bangshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11618333090634257257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8492685525705691186.post-26541022302514010742013-11-05T20:52:48.076-05:002013-11-05T20:52:48.076-05:00Thanks for the comments.

It is now my favorite Brooks. I also like the B17 and have a "standard" that is quite comfy. A newer "special" is still too hard to tolerate on a long ride, so I pulled it off and out on a Selle Anatomica. Have you tried them? Very comfortable, but not as durable as a Brooks in my own riding experience to date. Thanks for a nice informative posting.Fully Luggedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06860026531565091865noreply@blogger.com
