Brooks Saddle - Tensioning

I have just bought a new Brooks saddle which I am led to believe will end up comfortable.

After riding for about twenty miles, I noticed that there is a very large impression of the
left-side rails in the top.

When I turn the tensioning bolt three turns as suggested, the left-side rails are still touching
the saddle when I am on it. For obvious reasons, I don't want to overtension it. Has anybody else
had similar experiences, and what did you find?

Daniel, I've got the saddle but not the problem. I'd suggest getting in touch directly with Brooks
and querying them. You never know, they might swap it for a more symmetrical one ;-) Dave.

Thanks! I spoke to the bike shop, and it turns out that they usually tension the saddles up a little
bit in the shop. Will speak to them if it still seems a problem.

Thanks,

Daniel
