Lots of saddles these days have fancy stitching, or even little 'micropore' holes in the top surface. Good for letting air out/breathability, not so good when it rains! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=7185#post-75229 Wed, 20 Jun 2012 12:19:27 +0000 Tom 75229@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I think your saddle has a hole in it and if you find that and patch it with black tape you'll fix the problem. Or trap the water in it permanently. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=7185#post-75227 Wed, 20 Jun 2012 12:00:58 +0000 Zenfrozt 75227@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Leaving it in the sun yesterday has helped a little. :) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=7185#post-75149 Tue, 19 Jun 2012 21:04:09 +0000 SRD 75149@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>chdot - that would do nicely! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=7185#post-75146 Tue, 19 Jun 2012 20:39:19 +0000 Nelly 75146@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Chdot, thats the same one I got at work today.....still like my bargain hotel shower caps though!! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=7185#post-75142 Tue, 19 Jun 2012 20:31:07 +0000 Uberuce 75142@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>The Brooks saddle cover has a clever velcro strap that lets you roll it up like a baby hedgehog. </p> <p>The only thing that's wrong with it is that it's so easy and tempting for thieving thieves to thieve like a thief. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=7185#post-75127 Tue, 19 Jun 2012 17:59:01 +0000 crowriver 75127@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I do have a fancy schmancy saddle cover in chilli pepper red polyamide. However I keep forgetting to bring it out with me. In the recent downpours I was wearing my rain cape (also chilli pepper red), which keeps the saddle nice and dry while you're riding. However once you're off the bike....I find an old supermarket shopping bag suffices in an emergency! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=7185#post-75120 Tue, 19 Jun 2012 17:06:50 +0000 kaputnik 75120@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Since when were blue pool shoes yellow? ;) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=7185#post-75118 Tue, 19 Jun 2012 16:44:27 +0000 chdot 75118@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>How about one of these -</p> <p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/chdot/7401467472/"><img src="http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5449/7401467472_d045b925f5.jpg"></a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=7185#post-75115 Tue, 19 Jun 2012 16:26:58 +0000 recombodna 75115@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Blue pool shoes people blue pool shoes...... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=7185#post-75113 Tue, 19 Jun 2012 16:10:13 +0000 kaputnik 75113@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>You can buy waterproof covers for your brooks. Or any other saddle. Or use a showercap. I use a waterproof stuff sack. Because it clips shut underneath, because it stows easily (rolls and clips around the tool roll) and because it is yeller. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=7185#post-75086 Tue, 19 Jun 2012 13:55:07 +0000 SRD 75086@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>there's a retro ladies brooks I *really* want. but best to wait until i have a bike shed or garage i think </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=7185#post-75084 Tue, 19 Jun 2012 13:33:44 +0000 steveo 75084@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Yeah bit of heat should sort it out.</p> <p>@SRD new saddle? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=7185#post-75082 Tue, 19 Jun 2012 13:32:52 +0000 SRD 75082@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Mine does that every day.

Cool. Thanks steveo :) Either that or sneak it into the flat and attack it with the hair dryer lol. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=7185#post-75075 Tue, 19 Jun 2012 13:17:02 +0000 steveo 75075@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Its probably just waterlogged. It'll dry out given time, but you'll still get a wet bum while it does so. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=7185#post-75072 Tue, 19 Jun 2012 13:08:59 +0000 Zenfrozt 75072@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Okay so I was out on Sunday and me and the bike got somewhat drenched so this may have been a problem since then but yesterday as I was about to head out I noticed that my saddle appears to be producing frothy foam from the sides when you press down on it...</p> <p>Has anyone had this kind of problem before? I'm not sure if it's just that the saddle still needs to dry out or if it's a more serious issue. </p>
