[RBW] Saddles destroying my jeans! Advice?

2017-04-04 Thread 'Mojo' via RBW Owners Bunch
I too have found the WTB saddles quite comfortable. The Pure is about 148mm 
across the back (from memory), and like Brooks has a flat back and a fore-aft 
dip. The make four different Pure saddles starting at about $40.

Slick Saddle Cover. Slides a little, so it wears out instead of pants.
Don't need to go fancy. Even a shower cap works. I'm not sure the stretchy
vinyl kind of saddle covers are still around, which are good, but I have a
Carradice that works. But you know why bike shorts are black.

[RBW] Saddles destroying my jeans! Advice?

2017-04-03 Thread Eric Karnes
Hi all-

Looking for some advice. I have a Brooks Cambium on my SimpleOne commuter. I 
love the saddle, but it's destroyed two pairs of nice jeans in very short order 
(and every leather Brooks I've had has bled dye pretty badly). I'd love to 
solve it with a dedicated pair of riding pants, but this is my main mode of 
transportation, so I need to be able to ride it in my everyday clothes.

Anyone recommend a saddle that doesn't wear out the crotches of pants too 
easily and doesn't bleed dye? It needn't be super comfortable over long 
distances, as this is my city ride.

Thanks!

Eric
