Well, Ray, seems like you need to ride a more relaxed position. Wasn't 'riding the rivet' a term for that forward position that time triallists always adopt (well, I used to!)? As a 100% Brooks rider I would like to know which rivet is responsible for the holes, so that I can take avoiding action! Or perhaps you are using a new saddle? I always buy used, and well broken-in ones as I have too much respect for my rear end to ask it to suffer 500 miles of discomfort. The downside of this strategy is that sometimes the leather fails, as I mentioned a few days ago. Not quite as disastrous as a seat post failing, but disconcerting, nevertheless.

Last year I went back to a Brooks saddle after twenty odd years on Turbos. The rivets soon shined up and just as soon I had the familiar holes in my tights! I had forgotten how tough those rivets are on clothing. Ray Green, Brighton, England
