In addition to adding tension to the nose bolt, lacing the bottom flaps of the saddle may also help encourage the top back into form.
I used a Flyer on my Riv for the last couple years. It was my first Brooks, and I applied a light application of neatsfoot oil when I got it, to help it soften more quickly. My mistake! The neatsfoot accelerated the stretch too much (I haven't done that again). I tensioned the nose bolt and laced the bottom flaps, and now it's more rideable. I moved it to my fat bike, where I really appreciate the springs, and I replaced it with a Flyer Special on my Riv. -Tim On Mon, Aug 31, 2015 at 6:26 AM, Michael Hechmer <mhech...@gmail.com> wrote: > Why not get a sprung seat post and the saddle that fits you best?
