Seats n spokes

for the seat question: http://nativebikes.tumblr.com/

also about your spokes could be just poor quality spokes and nipples, maybe invest in some better ones?

That Subrosa seat is sick!!! And I generally can't stand brown seat, but that one is awesome. I would get one of those and just put it on the wall in the garage by the bike area as art!

Once one spoke goes, it can throw tension off on the others around it and across the wheel which will cause more to go. Be glad it was one and not 14. I did 14 on two separate occasions.

Might be time to consider replacing all spoke on that wheel and start fresh.

yeah. I like the lighter brown stuff. And you are right, on that raw(?) frame that multi colored seat looks awesome! I think any seat would look great on that frame

agreed the brown on the BSD seat was very nice in color and yeah the frame i got now is raw, thanks for the compliment :D

I'm on a raw frame so I think the darker brown JJ would be better , but if the leather is stronger than I'd just get that. More worried about the stitching coming off though than ripping leather . I don't want to pay an extra 20-30$ if it'll just break where seats normally come undone . I like th loom a lot.

That BSD seat is nice , my local has all thin black ones only.

Don't really have money for a whole new wheel build but I'm on the fence about a whole new coaster wheel so I might just wait it off . 14 spokes at once ? Fuck

Yea. Twice.

SUCKED.

Honestly I just bought spokes and relaced the wheel.

Back to what Dave said. Replace spokes, loosen all spokes, tighten them up evenly, true wheel. Wheels with super uneven tensions are like a bomb sometimes.

What about seat wise now ? I know leather is harder to rip but does it mold Neyer and not start coming undone after a couple hours on it ?

I mean, re leather you won't know the quality of the stitching beforehand, but that goes for any of the seats we look at. I would get the real leather one no doubt.

The other would be fine at first, but like every other faux leather thing ive ever owned, it wont wear as well and will split & crack, or the color won't hold up

I find the leather seat tear up the back of my knees more when i pinch. i actually plan on retiring my 2 year old merritt due to this issue.
