saddle shimming...

Rode last night, but have concluded

1.  i need to put more shimming in, or use the smartpanel
2.  i dislike this numnah intensely..

TBH i knew it was a shade small, and I think it's shrunk in the wash...not by much, but seems smaller...

asked local dealer to order me the extra large, but it turns out they've changed the spec AND put the price up by £40 so now £100.  shan't spend that!

so will either retrieve my plain cloth from gaynor and put separate shim pad under, OR use smartpanel, OR try dressage shimmed cloth under GP saddle...  not quite sure which, but will play tomorrow...

tonight, was knackered (friday's take me that way, LOL, especially after a day concentrating on a course!) and the midges were out to to play with a vengeance, AND partner required me to take her to retrieve her car from where she'd left it after it had been serviced (she'd cycled over to retrieve it but couldn't get bike in back of car to bring back...)

  1. Glad you rode. Sounds as if getting the saddle sorted out will make a big difference. Hope you figure it out.

    I hate it when you bought something a while ago that worked perfectly and can't find the same thing again.
