about changing the saddle's flexing skirt, can't you just remove the laces if the saddle doesn't work out as it should? what if you loosen the laces a little, to introduce some flex?

what laces have you guys used? I'm thinking I'll mark the holes, and use a drill for the holes, and maybe tie it up with a spare shoe lace.
Too much Proofhide makes the saddle too soft. I'd stop right now.
