No everybody told be that Brooks is the best saddle to have and I persevered with it, it was OK for 30 miles, but after that it was a real pain and was told it would bed in to the shape of my bottom, but it never did. Over the years I have tried many saddles but every one is a pain in the arse, last year I tried this one, it's still a bit of a novelty and the jury are still out on is as yet.
