You didn't say what kind of bike or what your riding position is. I have B-17s on two bikes and they were comfortable for me immediately. Both of these bikes have upright positions so I'm sitting on them rather than leaning as if in more of a racing/road bike position. I do have a B-17 narrow on another bike that I'm replacing because it just doesn't fit my amply derrière.
