Total Germophobe Posts: 6443 Location: Montana	I've only ridden in treed saddles, and I understand that in a treeless you basically go up a seat size because they are treeless (so if riding in a 14" regularly, you go up to a 15"). My question is on flex-tree saddles, do you stay typically with the same size as a treed saddle or does it go the way of the treeless or something in between? I understand trying different ones to find out, but was wondering if there was a general rule of thumb about this. Thanks!

Expert Posts: 2457	I ride a 14" flex tree ... I haven't changed seat size on barrel saddles between trees and I have found them true to size. Hope that helps!
