With the wet season finally starting in Cairns, is a leather saddle suitable or should I opt for something synthetic?
Cheers
Cairns wet season

Use a saddlebag? Your bum protects the top. Plastic shopping bag when the bike is parked will do the trick.
...whatever the road rules, self-preservation is the absolute priority for a cyclist when mixing it with motorised traffic.

What do you reckon about the underneath, Bill? It is on my racing bike so no guards. It has had a coat of Proofride.

If it's a brooks or similar I'd really pick something else - without mudguards it's gonna get soggy, proofide or no.

That's what the saddlebag is forBugsy wrote:What do you reckon about the underneath, Bill? It is on my racing bike so no guards. It has had a coat of Proofride.
I never had a problem with the clone saddle on me old OCR when I commuted on that but it wasn't doing much raining down here at the time.
