Patching of small holes on bike seat.

[flareon1982]

My bike seat has 2 small holes from wear and tear. Any suggestion from experience bikers on how to patch the hole DIY instead of sending the seat for rewrap? Using duck tape dun work at all BTW.

try those tube tyre repair patch, should be able to stick n stretch.

ask any bike shop.

Small holes may not be because of wear & tear. It could be because of cats scratching on your seat. If that is the case, the holes will come back after you done your patching. Better confirm and find a correct solution.

i haf the same problem as well. i do not wish to re wrap coz i dun wan to ruin the stock looks of the bike

 

i tink i will just use black tape to conceal it

not the tubeless tyre round button (mushroom) patch repair.

those flat elastic round patch for rubber inner tube, patch repair on bicycle/cub tyres.

usually apply with adhesive on the surface b4 sticking the elasto patch.
