....the other thing you can do (and which I do whenever the skirts flare unacceptably on a leather saddle that is still in decent shape) is to punch and lace it. You need a leather punch and a flat braided shoelace, preferably not a cotton one, but something more durable. Pick a color that more or less matched the leather, like black or brown. www.bikeforums.net&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiA6vPS3-DcAhU5FzQIHUzCAYIQrQIoBDABegQIAhAM&biw=1680&bih=944]Read some of the other threads on the pro's and con's.[/url]

I've always liked the results, but I like a hard saddle. I've punched and laced a couple of Sella Anatomica saddles right out of the box, because it was the only way I could get the things to stop squeaking.



This guy used a round lace, which IMO is a mistake. If you do it, you want the laces to lie flat.
