    Having bought a new pair of cycle shorts at the weekend i thought i’d wear them for my ride tonight – when i returned i found my beautiful white (was) San Marco saddle is now black!! :”( X( 🙁
    Seems like black dye from offending shorts has caused the damage and despite trying everything from lightly jiffing to WD40 it wont budge!
    Iknow the seat wont stay clean forever but only after two weeks…….
    Wash shorts BEFORE use……lesson learned.

    my white saddle is permanently grubby but is even more comfy than when I bought it though!


    Thanks Greg but no joy – as Fringe suggested to stick to black saddles!
    Shame though cause its a predominatley white bike

    I had white grips on my previous mtb and they were the only thing to keep them clean.


    Cheers Mr Domesttique – we use a similar product at work (painters mate wipes) – no joy
