Dazshell Posted September 13, 2013 Share Okay, Any help appreciated. Woke up too early for this morning's ride and ended up not getting my foot out the cleat quick enough at the first intersection! (Come on, I am sure we've all done it!) Anyway managed to successfully get my body to take the hit and save the bike other than a bit of road rash on the saddle. Anyone know what to use to make it look nice again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vetseun Posted September 13, 2013 Share Nah. Leave it. Other riders will realise that you are a warrior that has tasted tarmac before KENDA and slowpoke 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V12man Posted September 13, 2013 Share Forgot what day it was. Thanks V12 for putting it perspective! Actually you could get it resprayed by an automotive upholsterer that does leather re-dying - they can make it pretty much invisible again for you.

'Dale Posted September 14, 2013 Share Often the PROs decorate their bikes with worn saddles as it is the most effective and worn and comfy. In terms of Style Etiquette A worn saddle is all good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jewbacca Posted September 14, 2013 Share I agree with Dale... I like my saddles old and worn in all the right places. Shiny saddles usually mean you're more about bling thank turning the cranks. Just go with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
