Is it normal after more than 5000km that my brook saddle seems not to have "curved" to my butt? I see pictures of fellow tourer with a saddle than seems to have adapted ?
And it still hurt so much after 50-60km..
Help!
Get a hand mirror and stand in front of a cheval glass and look at your bottom- did it get curved by the saddle maybe?
/s i get you. I just have given up on my selle italia mitica (same principle as brooks). Got 2000-3000kms on it and It is still every bit as wood hard as when i bought it. Just the color changed a bit and thats it. I hear you should ride it when it is wet and that makes it softer and changes the shape. But for nor i have just given up and returned to a standard plastic+foam+fauy leather saddle.

You could try detensioning it a bit…
Try riding in the rain, it should help
