You might take up a bit on the tension bolt. There's some variation from saddle to saddle as to softness or give even when new. Their normally a bit "stiffish" (hard to quantify) right out of the box but IME they soften up in a couple of rides.
How's the leather look overall? If clean, no stains, etc. it probably is low mileage. dougP -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of chris love Sent: Tuesday, February 17, 2009 7:57 PM To: RBW Owners Bunch Subject: [RBW] Brooks Saddle question I just bought a used Brooks B17 and I'm curious how it should feel before I raise a stink. Seller claimed only 250 miles on the saddle, so I assumed it would be super tight, yet it feels to me like its saggy. When I press in the area of the saddle just behind where the soft parts land, i.e. the widest part of the saddle, should it give? This one gives so much that the side flaps flare out a fair bit. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
