White saddle turning yellow
And no, I haven't peed on it :) I am a little frustrated. I hate white saddles, but I bought this one because I got a killer deal on it. I have the same saddle, but in black on my MTB.
I don't use lotions or creams, so it can't be that. The only thing that could be touching it would be sweat (I do a lot of that) and chamois cream I suppose could theoretically seep through the shorts.
Any thoughts?

I haven't tried anything other than cleaning it with Clorox cleanup. My shorts are always laundered before wearing them and it doesn't seem to matter which shorts I wear. The yellowing is most of the saddle, but I cover most of it except the nose.

I'll give it a try, can't hurt.
