My Brooks saddle is cheap! I don't have a Brooks saddle!
OP, you're an idiot. I don't even know why I post in this sub forum anymore. These topics are so dumb.
OMG A car yelled at me today!!!!
I am thinking of switching to red bar wrap
Should I keep my bike inside?!?!
What blinky flash pattern should I use?!?!
(I won't let the door hit me on the way out.)

I read through this thread and scientific analysis provides an obvious answer:

Brooks is not better or worse but they could do something to up there support
I have a swift titanium on my track bike fixed gear .. it takes me 2h of riding and I have bloody stains in my dark blue jeans.
I tried to contact Brooks 3 times.. what an amazing reputation they have.. unbelievable I agree.

hi!
post the ingredients from the oil you're using on your seat and we can recommend something to remove it.
personally, animal fat would be best .. i.e. save the grease from your pans for the seat ... it's also the easiest to get out of clothes.
personally, I buy all my meat from here and save the grease for my chain and I find it works really well (probably on your seat as well.)

Of all the problems I had with my black Brooks saddle, this was not one of them.

I get disgusting stains on the seat of my pants, too. I don't have a Brooks, or a bicycle, either. I just wanted to put that out there and contribute to this illuminating thread.
