I have a Saevid Alien carbon saddle, super happy with nearly everything about it, but i'm finding that the plain carbon rubs the inside of my thigh on my shorts causing issues with the stitches.

How easy/hard is it to cover the saddle? any tips.

Isn't this due to a sharp edge somewhere on the saddle, that could be sanded a little?
I have a carbone one too, and it is all smooth and round.

Having another look at it the edges are smooth, its where the saddle/rail meet so could be difficult to cover anyway.

I think it's not so difficult but that's depending with what for material you will cover your saddle. :wink:
