I've proofided it top and bottom. It's some thick hard leather, it has springs but they are of no help.
The answer I have found to this dilemma is to let the saddles break
Me in. I've mounted brand new, rock-hard (relatively speaking) Brooks' saddles to many of my builds, and ridden them all over the place, willy-nilly. Pretty soon, my sphincter was crooning Pink Floyd's "Comfortably Numb", as if all of the relevant nerve endings have been shattered. Even my ancient French ADGA, and that oh-so-thick newer Gyes don't bother me now. That's
one way to do it, anyway.
