Saddle question
 

If I buy another saddle just like the one I'm using, will it take the same break in period, or will I be half way there since my rear will be used to the other one?

What kind of saddle are you talking about? Brooks, I presume? In general, I'd say you're half way there.

If it's plastic, on the other hand, the saddle doesn't break in, you just get used to it;)

Honestly, if you ride a lot, the saddle usually doesn't make that much difference.

I agree with cyccommute. When you are getting started, a lot of the break in period is getting your rear end used to riding in the saddle. If you are riding a modern saddle (non-Brooks) with gel or foam padding, they'll probably be virtually no break in period.

Butt calluses:D If you don't stop riding, you never have to redevelop them:thumb:

+1. My 2nd and 3rd Brooks were simple compared to my first one. Much quicker break-in.
