Good idea with the wet cloth on the underside where the sit bones strike the leather. I did not think of that but I did rub some lanolin/beeswax just to that vulnerable area (on the underside). I serviced the bike early this morning since it got grimy and wet yesterday during my Garmin inspired bonus miles on dirt and muddy paths; anyways, I noted that the saddle has two nicely imprinted dimples ostensibly from my tuberosity of ischiumi aka sit bones. I have absolutely zero soreness this morning. YMMV. I accepted that such an aggressive treatment could ruin a saddle but I suspected Haldeman kinda sorta figured it out. Next up. 600K.
