So if you were going to spend $75 on a less comfortable saddle, why not just by a less expensive Brooks and start over? I have three of them on different bikes and have never had any issues. I constantly read about people fussing with their Brooks saddles and never really understand it.

I just sit on mine and ride. EVery once in awhile i'll proofhide but it is rare. I did give my oldest saddle a 1/4 turn because it was starting to sag pretty good after about 7000 backroad miles. Oddly enough i think my newest saddle is the most comfortable and yet it is the hardest.
