DJR Posted December 23, 2017 Posted December 23, 2017 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.

Eddy Gordo Posted December 23, 2017 Posted December 23, 2017 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 T-Bob 1

Capricorn Posted December 23, 2017 Posted December 23, 2017 (edited) 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. Edited December 23, 2017 by Capricorn T-Bob 1

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. Capricorn 1

bologniusmaximus Posted January 4, 2018 Posted January 4, 2018 This was my Xmas present to myself... Worked my butt off to get it. I've changed the saddle and seatpost clamp. Oh and I installed one of those Lyne incase link cases. Quite cool. Sent from my LG-H815 using Tapatalk Reme Le Hane, PhilipV, DJR and 9 others 12
