Slick leather on Crosby Sofride?

Question

I just bought a Crosby Sofride and the leather is very slick. Anyone else experience this and know how to make it less slippery???

Answer 1

I used to ride on a crosby sofride that was a friend of mines. You're right the leather is very slick, but honestly I would say that constant use is the only thing to break in slick leather. The crosby i rode on was used several times every day for lessons and it got nice and supple. So just use it alot (i'm sure you will lol) and maybe just try riding with full chaps for exra grip if you need it. hope i helped at all :/

Answer 2

Sadl-Tite is made for this problem.  Rub it on the saddle where you need more grip, and it should really help.
