Love the saddle,it looks well used and shaped.A rather very well known brand with a capital B am i right.
Yes, the bike has about 125,000 miles on it and that Brooks B17 has about 30,000 of them. It's almost broken in.

I have since bought a Hollowtech II BB, the tools to fit it, a matching drive-side crank, a new chainring, and chainring bolts.
Unfortunately, the bolts are slightly too long so I bought some washers to use as spacers.
The washers arrived today, and... they are too small! The outer diameter is correct but the diameter of the hole is not.
Never mind - I am confident that the installation should be finished by autumn 2026!
I couldn't understand how I had ordered the wrong size. It turns out that I didn't!Unfortunately, the bolts are slightly too long so I bought some washers to use as spacers.

sorted. With a rack and a Topeak MTX Trunk Bag, seatpost mounted tail lights are not an option.Gas Pipe Hybrid
, it can't be removed from the bracket without first taking the bracket off. At least the bracket isn't bolted on. In flashing mode, it's almost bang on 4 hz but it is off more than it is on, no doubt to conserve battery. I'd rather it flashed a bit slower and remained on for as long as it was off. It has a 45 hour runtime flashing. Daytime Hyperflash last 10 hours, flashes incredibly quickly and does 300 lumens; it is incredibly bright but I'd imagine quite horrible for anyone stuck in traffic behind you. Group Ride mode at 100 lumens with a steadier flash lasts 8 hours and I suspect is a happier compromise. The other major draw back with this light is that slightly off-axis it's far less bright relative to it's brightness on axis. The MagicShine SeeMe 100 seems a bit better in this respect, although it's not as bright to begin with. Other tiny detraction is the Micro-USB charging. Really was expecting it to be USB-C.Gas Pipe Hybrid
. I'll keep the AAA battery powered Smart Superflash 317 0.5W LED light in the Trunk Bag as a spare for winter months and night time riding. Really wouldn't mind something of the same elk, save a bit brighter on account the whole light unit doesn't need replacing when the battery no longer holds a useful charge.They apologised and got the correct washers (shims) to me today.I have just contacted the company and asked them to send the right size. Hopefully, they won't make a fuss over a few pounds worth of washers.
