i'm split between two saddles a WTB Rocket V and a Selle Italia SLR XC Gel Flow but not sure i've given either of them enough time really

Unless its something like a Brooks leather one you don't 'break-in' a modern saddle. You can get used to a saddle but the shape of the saddle doesn't change.

as above, unless its a brooks, its not about breaking in the saddle, its about breaking in yer arse.

some saddles you just dont get along with. i rode a specalised saddle at work which I just couldn't get comfy with. A swap with a bontrager one was like night and day, yet to look at them there was minimial difference.

Fizik ones definitely take some breaking in.. the flexy side and tail bits get a lot softer
