wesley_r Posted June 27, 2011 Share Hey hubbers My new (2nd hand) bike came with a Specialized Saddle (don't know the model). I immediately swapped it for one of my saddles, but the other day tried it out on my hardtail and actually like it quite a bit. Problem is, it's popped a seem or two on the one side. My question: is it possible to / is there someone that repairs or recovers bicycle saddles? Any info would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wil6 Posted June 27, 2011 Share Dont think it would be worth the cost unless the saddle is worth more than say R1000,otherwise good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wesley_r Posted June 27, 2011 Share you have a point, never thought of that. I could probably pick up another one 2nd hand for less than the repair... duct tape and superglue it is for now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
