Hey guys, I'm back from winter hiatus! I'm happy to see that you folks are giving your torn saddles a second wind.

I did a Flite back in the fall and wasn't too happy with how it turned out. The foam pulled up pretty bad in some spots so I took some sandpaper on a block to try to take down some of the unevenness. I had to take down a good amount before I decided I couldn't take anymore away without turning it into a weight-weenie/hardcore chamois-only saddle. After covering it, a lot of the divots were still visible under the leather. This was on a Flite I picked up at the flea market for $5 so I wasn't too worried, I'll probably eBay it soon b/c I don't like how flite's feel so much.

My friend tried an SLR and got the same results. He wasn't happy and is currently researching replacement foams. Yoga mat and some memory type foams were on the top of the idea list so when we get started on that, I'll update this thread!
