Found this strange damage on my saddle.. Looks to be like a pinch flatted tyre but on the saddle nose..
Does this needed replacing?
yes
Definitely
Thought so... Not sure what caused it though..
Gutted.. only put in on about 4-5 months ago and its about £80-100 to replace..
Pics?
Can't at the moment but will when I get to a pc.. Its worm to the closed cell jell layer(fabric scoop saddle.. Very comfy but a tad expensive..)
Just needs some antivenom.
FWIW we can't help you without pictures.
Replace the whole bike....and your spare one.
Should be OK, but only if your bike is a Mongoose.
Trouser snakebite?
Snake bite on saddle.. Do I replace it?
Yes,I would. Perhaps a breed that's less liable to bite things.
You'll need to burn it with fire.
Should be OK, but only if your bike is a Mongoose.

Don't replace it now, wait until next year when they introduce the new saddle clamp standard, which is 32% stiffer and 11 mm lower profile.
Or 2 years later when they make another standard after realising people don't want stiffer saddles...
Superglue.
Ignore and carry on.
Not sure if that worked or not
Not for me 🙁
ill get back with the pictures need to work out how to post them ...
use postimage.org, copy the hotlink for forums and paste directly into the text box on here.

Thats never a snake bite, far to much head....
oh come on. the bit you want us to comment on is blurred!
but just ride it.
Diamond white and Stella snakebite can be pretty frothy.
Patch it with some black velvet?
I've had a spare tri saddle of my road bike and had a closer look and it's just material wear.. But it looks like the shape made the wear worse.. Lovely saddle but not quite right for my riding
