Brooks England | The B68 is back ft. Rivendell Bicycle Works
"I think if nobody cared about being a cool cat racer-type, or everybody rode five to 25 miles a day to town and around ponds on rolling roads while pedaling in fairly natural and upright positions, taking care of business, shopping, or getting out there for extremely tolerable and maybe even thrilling exercise; and if money were no object, and nobody was vegan, and if Brooks could make enough of them, then the Brooks B68 would be the most popular bicycle saddle on spaceship earth.
It’s as good-looking as a saddle can be, for sure. Like all leather saddles, it’s hard and slightly slipperier when new, but that goes away. I nose mine upward about 10 degrees. The 10-degree up-nose looks painful, but locks your sit bones back on the wide part of the saddle, and it’s heavenly.
Obviously, everybody’s butt and crotch are different, and saddle opinions are always suspect…but a wider saddle that supports the sit-bones, flexes a bit, and doesn’t rub your crotch or compress your nerves is a good start. I’m not B68 exclusive, because I like a variety like anybody else. But if I had to lock in, I’d lock into the B68, no hesitation."

      Thank you for the feedback. Any dyeing work performed on Brooks saddles is not recommended because the leather already underwent this treatment during its manufacturing process and could be irreversibly damaged.

    How often to lace the profide?

    • @brooksengland
      @brooksengland 20 днів тому

      During and immediately after the break-in period it's necessary to nourish the saddle by applying Proofide underneath the leather top. Usually every six months is fine, but it depends on how much it has been ridden and the leather conditions. This not only helps shape it to the rider's contours but also to keep it protected from dirt. After many miles, it might also be necessary to treat the leather on the top to prevent it from drying out or cracking.

      @@Rudyjosephjr in this case, we also suggest using a rain cover to avoid the leather getting wet. Otherwise, it might deform irreversibly. As the leather softens, you also need to adjust the saddle tension so that it keeps a good flexibility without putting your weight on the metal components.

      @brooksengland 2 місяці тому

      It's not possible to combine the Scape bags you mentioned in the same set-up. The solution we suggest for increasing handlebar storage capacity is to attach a Handlebar Pouch or a couple of Saddle Pocket Bags to the Roll.

    Why does the leather have springs but not the Cambium?

    • @brooksengland
      @brooksengland 2 місяці тому

      Developing a frame that includes springs would not be in line with our aim to improve riding comfort through the qualities of rubber. In fact, our goal has always been to develop a frame made of few reliable components, easily replaceable if necessary, to support the main feature which is vulcanised natural rubber. We're still at work to find new solutions in this regard.

  • @GraemeS-ed9gp
    @GraemeS-ed9gp 3 місяці тому

    Beware. Tried this, without success. First, removing an old rivet is much harder than indicated. Punching it through requires hard hammering. Then, once it is out of the metal frame, it is still distorted, so pulling it through the leather is difficult to do without enlarging or tearing the hole. If you look closely at the video it looks like the demonstrator is pulling out a clean, unused rivet. No way do they come out that easy. I managed to get new rivets and a rivet peening tool, but the force required to set a rivet is not accurately shown. Even using a heavy hammer with the rivet head on a steel block I could not get one fully set and straight and had to give up trying for fear of making the rivet hole irreparable. A copper rivet might be more feasible but in the meantime I’m left with a rivetless hole in my saddle.

    At one time, I had five Brooks saddles on my stable of rides. Two B-67's (of whichI still have one) and one B-17 Flyer, and two B-17 Standards. I also had a large box of "others', some quite expensive, that were all failures. A Brooks is the only way to get a true custom fitting saddle. Every other is just an exercise in repetition of that goal, and are merely compromises.
