Not only is supporting your local shops for your saddle choice a good
idea because many of them support us by supporting OBRA and our racing
community .....

Our team sponsor included (THANK YOU River City Bicycles!),...

BUT, it is also a good idea because I think they have a very similar
policy called "saddle comfort guarantee" or something similar. I think
you'll find you can't beat your local bike shops for service by
shopping/shipping at Walmoart .... uh... I meant Perfromance online.

I once bought a saddle at Performance and they told me I could install
and
try it on my bike at home, then return it if it didn't work. They told
me
to wrap the rails in tape so they didn't get scratched up, and that the
saddle had to come back looking new. It worked for me so I never took
advantage of their return offer.
