Specialized Saddle Structure Compromised ?
Hi picked up this Specialized saddle. Was just wondering if the 'break' in the plastic at the back would compromise the structure of the saddle [100 kg rider]. Am worried it may sag the saddle.
Also when I shake the saddle it has a really bad rattle, not sure where it comes from, I may take off the rear gaurd / support but the screws look like they have seen better days.
Only a simple think but any sensible thoughts welcome, thanks, scurry

It looks like the decorative trim used to tidy up the edges of the fabric but hard to say if the crack will affect the rigidity a lot but it won't be helping that's for sure. TBH it looks ready for the bin but if you want to persevere it's your call.0

Looking at the mould date it is 10 years old - probably kindest to consign it to the bin.0

Ditto; I think it's likely just the trim. Try it and see, you'll soon see if it's sagging.
Something rattling inside it would annoy me no end if I could hear it when riding though. Might be able to silence it by drizzling a bit of superglue into any crevices and the points where the rails enter the shell0 -
Thanks for replys guys. The actual rattling sounds more like a broken piece rattling / floating about so not sure if gluing crevices would help. I think I may have wasted my money, many thanks0
