There are very few things in life I am evangelical about. Rim brakes being perfectly adequate, even preferable in some cases, is one of them, and leather saddles is another. Pop punk from the 2000s is also definitely on the list, but that\u2019s not really relevant here. We have a guide to the best road bike saddles<\/a>, and the best gravel bike saddles<\/a> too, neither of which really showcase the advantages of a leather saddle, so I\u2019m going to devote a whole guide to them here.\u00a0<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve tried a pretty wide array of leather saddles over the years, I\u2019ve gone through the break-in process many times over, and I\u2019ve picked up some tips and tricks that\u2019ll help you on your way. If you\u2019re leather curious, or you\u2019ve got a new bike that\u2019s come with a leather saddle and want to get the best out of it then read on and it might just change your riding life.\u00a0<\/p>\n
