Move the saddle back and sit on the front part as you’re supposed to?

Oh man, I see so many people with split nose seats sitting all the way back. I don't say anything unless I know the person, after which they usually have an epiphany. One of the guys in my tri club has a Cobb JOF seat and was sitting all the way back. I told him "you do realize JOF stands for Junk Off Front?"

I have used the ISM prologue for years, but after a Covid enforced break off the TT bike I just cannot get on with it now. Its just too wide. I had issues before but zip tied the nose together (as many do) and put up with it. However, now I am back using the bike after a break I am finding its just getting too uncomfortable and rubbing on longer rides.

Any advice on an alternative out there? I am basically looking for the same saddle, just a little slimmer.

Thanks in advance :-)[/quote

If you want a DIY project, removed the pleather cover (and the 70-80 staples), gently remove the foam and grab a Dremel. I wanted to like the saddles but they are too wide for me. When I've made them narrower, they have worked like a charm. Just use some 3m adhesive to put it all back together. Don't pull on the pleather too hard, their material is pretty cheap.

When I tried to move the saddle back and ride further forward on it, all I did was to create hot spots as I had such a little contact surface. I had GeBioMized pressure mapping done on the stock and modified versions that confirm this.
