I have a VO Model 8, sprung and similar in dimensions to the B67. I have it on my cargo bike and ride upright. I am 210 pounds and I think I am a bit big for it. I don't know if it is my size, but the two rivets on the side of the nose failed. I have a few questions: 1. Is the B67 leather thicker or more substantial? I think it is 5mm wider - would that make a difference? 2. Did my weight cause the rivets to fail? 3. Do I need to step up to one of the "heavy duty" (and heavy cost) Brooks models like the B33? How would I attach such a thing to a typical single rail seat post? 4. Do I need to replace those rivets? If so, how?
Thanks in advance for the advice. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
