Wanted: Cheapo Gel Saddle

My rainy day claude beater tank now has to live outside, in the rain. This is a shame as the saddle is foam with stiching which means, every time I clamber on, I get two wet patches from last night's rain oozing onto my posterior. As I only ride this bike when it is wet this a problem 100% of the time.

As such, does anyone have an old gel saddle knocking around that won't absorb water when left outside.

I'd be keen on anything at bargain price, except maybe those enormous round saddles. Happy to collect anywhere between Central and Putney.

Cheers
Tim

Not organized enough for that. New bag each night? Ride with the bag on while it crinkles under your undercarriage? No thanks. Got a gel saddle on the cargo bike (also outside) Even though it has got a chunk missing, no wet patches...

Your local massive asda sell a 'bell' brand memory foam/gel saddle for £8 new.

Thanks for the heads up, the one down the A3 is not far for me.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
