Dazshell Posted September 13, 2013 Posted September 13, 2013 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?
Vetseun Posted September 13, 2013 Posted September 13, 2013 Nah. Leave it. Other riders will realise that you are a warrior that has tasted tarmac before slowpoke and KENDA 2

Dazshell Posted September 13, 2013 Author Posted September 13, 2013 Forgot what day it was. Thanks V12 for putting it perspective!
V12man Posted September 13, 2013 Posted September 13, 2013 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.
BLACKvoodoo Posted September 13, 2013 Posted September 13, 2013 I had a selle italia which I bought leather for and recovered. looked great but obviously had no branding on so i couldn't sell it ... still have it ..
Stoffies1 Posted September 13, 2013 Posted September 13, 2013 Garth O'Brien... Facebook him he does seat repairs! Old school mate...
Skylark Posted September 14, 2013 Posted September 14, 2013 Roofseal does a nice repair on saddles, they have a few colours as well
'Dale Posted September 14, 2013 Posted September 14, 2013 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.
Jewbacca Posted September 14, 2013 Posted September 14, 2013 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
ZION Posted September 14, 2013 Posted September 14, 2013 Ask your chick for some of her sewing glue,helped the tear on my saddle stop spreading http://involvingcolor.com/involvinghome/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/Fabric-Glue-for-Roman-Blind.jpg
'Dale Posted September 14, 2013 Posted September 14, 2013 It can damage your shorts if the rash is quite extensive.
