I've been wanting to give a cut out saddle a try for awhile now. I've been running Brooks B15/team pro saddles for years. I have one b17 in the lineup right now, second time trying one, and it's just a little too wide. But overall the team pro has been great for me, with the exception of occasional numbness. This is typically just on longer not-mountain bike rides where i'm spending considerable time pedaling from the saddle. So anyway, interested in trying a cutout. Really been eyeing the Giles, but haven't worked myself up to spending that coin on a saddle that i've never seen in person or sat on.
One of my brooks is 10-12 yr old at this point and its getting a little rough. Slightly bent rails, nose wants to twist (i can never remedy this). Surely it has a few years left, i've conditioned it and it isn't drying out, but it's getting there. Close enough to use it for an experiment. So, my question. Has any one here ever DIY'd a cutout in their Brooks? I've never done any leather work but the concept seems straightforward. Cut it out, punch some holes, do the lacing. That last part may even be optional? If you've given this a go please let me know how it went!
