Hello,
After about 5 years of nearly continuous use I think my Lepper Voyager
leather saddle has turned on me. I have noticed it recently as the
weather has changed and I am now perspiring more.
What is happening is that the saddle is good for about the first hour
and then as it picks up perspiration it expands and then becomes
uncomfortable. I end up being supported by the leather saddle and the
metal frame which leads to chafing.
I have recently tightened the nose screw about 2 turns which seems to
help initially but towards the end of my lunch time ride it seems
almost as bad as before. Should I tighten it even more? How much is
too tight?
This saddle has never been ridden uncovered in the rain and has always
been proofhided on a regular basis. It seems now that it just picks up
moisture and looses shape. Is there anything I can do to keep this
from happening or is this a sign that the saddle is toast?
Thanks,
Steve
