But Gel breaks down.. new saddle time.. now if the replacement is denser foam, which is more long lived,
you can get a draw string attached gel saddle cover.

.. then when it breaks down over time, that cover can be replaced with another of the same..

Question makes no sense. If a gel seat is replaceable, the only solution is a new one

Is it a gel cover over the saddle, or just a bare saddle? Both can be replaced, regardless.
