Blowers
Regular
Several weeks ago my wife and I were on our way back from a short break and she was bored silly by my frequent references to me thinking of buying a Brampton. As she was in .a reasonable mood I suggested a short detour to a Bike shop just for a look of course not having told her I had already had a test ride. 20 mins later the plastic had been activated whilst she read the paper back in the.car
What has that got to do with Brooks saddles?
Well as it was a spur of the moment purchase and as I was going through the Brompton build info with the dealer I impulsively decided on the Brooks over the standard saddle and am now wondering if that was a good call
My questions are:
Does the Brooks B17 really take a long time to break in? I may not be using bike daily
Is it very uncomfortable for some time?
Does applying Proofide really help the break in period?
As this is a commuter type bike does the applied wax not leave marks on trousers?
Any other tips or advice on living with a Brooks saddle?
Thanks
