    Saddles like the Specialized Ruby 130mm

    To disable ads, please log-in.

    The logo on my 2010 Specialized Ruby are curling up and damaging my shorts. I bought it when I heard Specialized was making changes to the Ruby and squirreled it away until last spring. I have a little over 2,000 miles on it. I took it to the shop and there is no way to remove the logo without making things worse. I was also told the saddle is out of warranty so it's likely Specialized won't cover it. I tried to lift the logo off with an x-acto knife but ended up nicking the leather.

    Since I'm feeling a little miffed and not sure if I want another Ruby I'm wondering if anyone else makes a saddle with the shape of the Ruby in a 130 mm width. I'm too small for anything wider.

    I have pulled several of those silver logos off once they started curling. If you can get a finger hold on a spot that is lifting, try a hair dryer to help the adhesive release or maybe some goo gone. Only once have I had to resort to those methods because they mostly pulled off.

    Problem solved.

    Today I went to a different shop. Because I still had my receipt the shop exchanged the old Ruby for a new one. For a $5 charge they put the new one on.
    No questions asked, no hassles. They will definitely get more of my business.

    Thanks for the suggestions.
