>>2308510That's because you didn't oil it and it regularly got wet and contracted. Leather seats can be a "lifetime" purchase if you treat the leather, clean it when it gets wet and dirty, and buy one with an adjustable screw that tightens the leather as it slowly stretches and sags, like the Selle Anatomica (made for fat Americans, it will last)
>HOWEVER I am here to extol the virtues of not fucking up your sexual organs and reproductive health and not getting prostate cancer. Cyclists are 3x more likely to get prostate cancer, and this is probably from abusing their crotch taking vibrations from their saddle like your mom sits on her washing machine.
Numbness in your crotch area is nerve damage. Nerve damage is eventually permanent and debilitating. You will get weaker boners. Cyclists have something like 3% normal spermatozoa where non cyclists have 15-20%.
Get a prostate friendly saddle where none of the weight sits on your soft delicate parts, only your sitbones, with a nose to help you steer in corners.
>ISM>Selle SMP>Rido R2 and LT>Fizik noselessVery little options here but very much worth investing in your prostate health, these aren't common as consumers are unaware of the danger, the cycling industry would NEVER warn you about it and people expect a certain shape for their saddle
