I was the bloke who elongated the holes in my (first hundred worldwide tester!) saddle. They sent me a new top and I managed to make it like new. Now, there is the strange line across the front, right where it crosses the cantle plate. So I've taken a leaf out of the old school way of fixing em, and I've tied it! But in keeping with the modern, rubber brooks, I've not used laces or leather, but cables ties! It has made it much firmer (it had started to sag) and made the shape better.
I've not ridden it yet though!

I like your ingenuity!

That line is where all of mine have split. I've gone for a Fabric Scoop to replace one of them, so I'm slowly getting back to normal saddles.

I do love it though.....it's worth a go to see if it gets another few hundred miles out of it!
