Found the perfect refurbished replacement saddle for the old 1930s Hercules Green Monster. The old ones' leather was beyond repair and started pinching my butt. Unacceptable! Thanks Niels at Woodstock Cycle Works, not many shops have cool things like this lying around.  :thumbup:

The fitting is the easy bit... now I have 4 different adjustments to f*up, a preload to worry about and still have to get a buddy to whip out a ruler and measure the sag while I sit on it. #oldstyle.

Naa, they dont fit my frame

Followed some advice here and for an early Xmas gift for dad from Rapidé:

 

- TR29-25 Trailracer Wheelset https://www.rapide.co.za/product/rapide-tr29-25-trailracer-wheelset/' class='bbc_url' title='External link' rel='nofollow external'> https://www.rapide.co.za/product/rapide-tr29-25-trailracer-wheelset/

- T:F Saddle https://www.rapide.co.za/product/rapide-tf-saddle/' class='bbc_url' title='External link' rel='nofollow external'> https://www.rapide.co.za/product/rapide-tf-saddle/

And seat post

 

Tubeless setup was easy on the wheels and my nether regions are still thanking me for the saddle.

 

Combined with the Rapidé Rize-R 45 Control pack, my Momsen is slowly turning into a Rapidé machine!

sweet sled Hellocolour. We may just see each other on our Patrols at tokai.

 

Reminds me to ask if anybody gone from one transition, say patrol, to the latest SBG version? If yes, what's your take on the differences between the two ride wise. No guesses please, just straight up experience from someone that's owned and ridden both for a good length of time.

SBG Patrols & Sentinels have landed, Smugglers will only be in SA around March. Not sure about the new Scouts. Keen to check the differences, initial reviews of Smuggers overseas and Patrols are sounding pretty awesome.  

 

There are some good back to back tests / reviews of the old and the new versions on youtube that I've checked recently.
