Hmm yeah well i have invested to much cash into smp to totally abandoning them as i had 3 of them shipped to australia for re-leathering .)
Im bit of a nut (obviously). But lately i have found the berk lupina which works for me pretty good. The reason i started with smp way back when was because of severe groin pain, they actually saved me from quitting riding bikes at the time. But now those issues have lessened and i can ride a few other saddles again. Since i think there are prettier saddles out there than the smp i find myself mostly riding those. I guess staring at my saddle while pedaling or sometin similar..
Your suggestion of riding one half seem like an okay idea. Unless you usually have issues with longer rides on saddles? Then the comparison may be skewed unfavorably towards the saddle you take for the latter part. But i think one has to do just that to draw conclusions, ride them as much as possibly back to back. For me smp were lifesavers back when.. Best of luck.
