Saddle fit help.

[DeNiro]

Hey!

Saddle fitter is coming end of this week but I'm convinced this saddle is too narrow and pointless even getting checked? Lol.

I'm rubbish with saddles

Thanks for any help.

It really needs to be girthed up to be able to tell, I don't it's necessarily too narrow (the photo of the clearance needs to be taken from lower down right into the side of the neck) but it sits very high and looks like the tree may be too curved. It will look better girthed firmly but I think the tree is wrong (after all you can change the width I presume?).

I found it a real eye opener although I reckon I know a reasonable fitted saddle by now. What was so interesting was the impact of girthing in the wrong place. I'd never thought about that before.
