Leveling a Brooks (or similar leather saddle)
Start with a Brooks by leveling the NOSE, not the entire saddle.
The cantle (the bit at the back) will rise slightly higher than the forepart of the saddle.
Don't forget there is a cantle plate under the rear of the saddle. When you sit on the leather, it hammocks under your butt. You end up sinking a bit lower at the slightly higher rear of the saddle, essentially bringing the hammocking bit down to about the same approximate height as the nose, BUT ONLY WHILE YOU ARE ON IT.
If you level the saddle from tip-to-tail instead of at the nose only, you may end up with some pain in front.
