Stripped saddle - SLR/Selle?

@nuknow, good job, now get a stanley blade/knife and scrape the rougher edges/seams off the sides. they eat shorts.

Well makes sense, was looking at it yesterday and thought the exact same, just wasn´t sure the best way. Will do ; )
Muchos Thank Yous!

welcome.

I wonder if it worth stripping the Charge Spoon?

doubt it.
the saddles we have stripped tend to have a carbon type shell/body.

Yes, probably wouldn't work, I thought of it when I look at the shell underneath the saddle and the shape look like it'll be fine stripped.

I imagine it to be a similar shape to the SLR. The "ridges" on the Spoon are just padding.

Did this one last weekend as well

Saddle strippers.. do you reckon it would be possible to clean/remove this shitty USA stuff from the saddle below without damaging the leather/lorica/whatever?

first to go on that saddle would be the USA flag.. i suppose you could try Acetone, then move up to thinners, might get the ink off, but will it leave the covering alone ? i don't know. it's a risk.

or just permanent marker it up ftw!

The point is.. I don't want to spend more money.. I want to know what would kill that shit for £0.

I'll use the SLR I have and wait for a used SLR T1 unless someone can verify acetone removes that ridiculous Troy Nazi Lee Designs shite.

somehow i don't think acetone will do it... but it's worth a shot.

edit]
I'vejust succeeded in removing the white lines from my Specialized Toupé, so it works !

What is left of the leather? Does it look ok? Not perishing>?

pics shall suffice i think... see for yourself. gimme a min

left is acetone cleaned... right is what it did look like

it's quite good

That might just work..

to the eye the material is completely unaffected.... the ink on the SLR might be acetone resistant, who knows ?

With all that shit.. it'd have to be printed on.. should scrub off.

if in doubt, fart it off.

I don't want to spend £60. :S

Where's BMMF.. he must want to sell his T1 with this new trackwhore shit? Oi! Cunnox! Yes? No? Ahh fuck ya then!

Look on the bright side.. you don't need to eat if you're dead.
