Before you resort to that last resort, offer your uncomfortable and uncorrupted Brooks saddle up for sale. Anywhere from 10% to whatever-you-can-stand% off from what you paid for it. That should get you a good down payment on your next new saddle. Go outside of the recommendations of the manufacturer and you may have a hard time selling a Brooks saddle. No way would I buy a used and abused Brooks saddle. I would be happy to buy a used Brooks with dimples created by someone else. My big ***** will take care of the dimples in short order. You just can't undo motor oil, ball-peen hammering or other forms of misguided mistreatment.

Thanks, BluesDawg. It is nice to have a bit of support from someone who does not think I am just another Brooks zealot or cultist. Most Brooks saddle advocates would agree that everyone deserves a happy butt. Even if it turns out not to be a Brooks Butt. I just remembered a grade school joke about a girl named Gladys.
