Anyway, I hope to see more options with larger pulley derailers. As much as I love the Altus it is definitely not made to last On Sunday, August 5, 2018 at 6:18:34 PM UTC-4, ian m wrote: > > > <https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-PCetHyOZJEA/W1nPYbgSA5I

[RBW] Re: Selle Anatomica saddle break in question.

On both my SA saddles break in time was nil. Perfect out of the box. I would not recommend conditioning the leather too much as they are known for stretching rather fast. Tighten/loosen the bolt as needed, I usually just have about a finger tip width between under the saddle and the seatpost top
