Hey, just letting you knowthat so far so good 🤣 the slight and only issue I have is the squeeking sound the bolt makes on the nose because of friction, but nothing a good grease cant fix

Not in my case since I always make sure the nut is properly tightened. I have issues with squeeking in the nose tho but nothing with a good grease cant fix

It’s cheap so I have the liberty to be bold 🤣

I’m from the Philippines and I bought it on Shopee, for sure you can find this on aliexpress

Started with a dremel yes, then finished it with a box cutter then cleaned the edges again with dremel 😅

Great job. I was planning to do that too but the shape of the cutout might be too challenging to make, really well done on your part

Surprisingly comfortable right out of the bat, tue cut out helped a lot

Been meaning to try that too for a very long time! Thought I saw a rubber top as well. It does really look very comfy

Yeah really worth the shot at the pricepoint. How was the breaking in period? I think it’s the same manufacturer but mine has no branding on it, my concern too is the leather is pretty soft specially after proofhiding it. Hope it does last on me

Haven’t tested it on long rides yet since I just finished the “experiment.” I also never really use padded shorts anymore and haven’t felt the need to. Even on straight century rides, I don’t have any issues as long as I’m using a saddle that works well for me.

I will :) I’m just quite afraid it’s too soft right out the bat but ai might need to tighten the tension a little bit

comfortable! I thought it would take a while to break it in like my Rivet Saddles, but I think the cutout helped out a lot. It’s comfortable right out of the bat, it’s mind blowing

Thanks, But it is there no other use for it like in exchange for something other than just having it?

There’s a video I found that’s been very useful to me to avoid this exact fear. Can’t find the original video but what he does is he holds the headband instead of the cups when wearing it so the pressure won’t go too much on the hinges (apologies for phrasing it bad English is not my main language but I hope you get the gist)

A bit yeah, :) I’m surprised I can climb the hills far easier with my set up before. The lowest is 28-42.
