    I ride with a 16" saddle and it doesn't seem to affect me much considering that I can also ride in a 15". It really depends on you, the rider. Changing saddles shouldn't throw off your balance if you already have really good balance. I'm sure you will be fine. Ride with it (:

    If you are used to riding in the exact size for you then it could throw you off. If you have been riding in that size of a while and you're used to it then it wont.

    Edit

    I have never heard of that being done.
