  1. Changed from a squishy GEL saddle to a Selle San Marco a couple weeks
    ago.

    At first I was a bit shocked by how hard the new saddle felt. Fit was
    good, but just firm.

    Well, I've been riding it a couple weeks now and did my first longer
    ride yesterday. About 40 miles, which for me qualifies as long.

    Glad to report: No problem!

    Someone here said give it a few days and all will be well. They were
    right!

    Saddle felt good. I like the firmness. The wobbling around was really
    getting old.

    Just an update.

    Don't forget to maintain the leather with leather cleaner and protectant.
    Drying out will ruin it.
    I had a Rolls. It was stolen. Enjoyed it for a decade or two though.

    Glad it worked out. I had the same experience. I didn't see how it
    could be true that it would be easy to adjust to it, but it was. I am
    just riding the stock OEM saddle from Specialized, nothing expensive.
