DJR Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 I love the holey patterns on the above saddles but I prefer not to have any stitching on the saddle, especially near the high wear areas. I find that it either chafes or in the longer term the stitching wears through and come apart. Anyone care to share their experience with stitching? Tumbleweed 1
Tumbleweed Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 (edited) There was a hubber who posted a thread about a DIY recover. Edit to add link: https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/126255-recovering-of-saddle-cape-town/page__hl__cover Edited January 29, 2014 by Tumbleweed

Was advertised as dissolvable, but that turned out to be a great big lie! Not a fan since then...
Iwan Kemp Posted February 10, 2014 Posted February 10, 2014 Met up with Garreth and Gavin from www.velobrien.com on Friday. Always nice to meet up with people who are just as passionate about what they do. If al goes well I'll have my first recovered saddle back soon enough and will update on the experience.

cadenceblur Posted May 24, 2014 Posted May 24, 2014 Those guys' handiwork is awesome. What's the ballpark cost for a recover?
Iwan Kemp Posted May 25, 2014 Posted May 25, 2014 Those guys' handiwork is awesome. What's the ballpark cost for a recover? As received from them:"We start at R500 for a simple recover. R750-R800 for your level of detail." To get in touch with them:velobrien at gmail.comGareth O’Brien O82 499 5083Gavin O’Brien O83 533 1535
cadenceblur Posted May 25, 2014 Posted May 25, 2014 Thanks, I also assume this is for genuine leather.
Iwan Kemp Posted May 25, 2014 Posted May 25, 2014 Thanks, I also assume this is for genuine leather. Correct. Genuine leather in a range of colors
