> Yeah - Brooks are generally pretty hardy. Good comments from Jim. I went out for a ride on my All-rounder tonight as it was a beautiful evening. I bought my Brooks Pro on that bike in 1977 or 1978 and it is now on its fourth bike. I put some Proofide or Obenauf's on it once a year and have done no other maintenance on it. I can't even remember adjusting the nose bolt, although I might have given it a total of a turn- looking at the threads- in the 34 years I have been riding it. I only rode it to break it in, no oiling or anything like that, and it has been a faithful prop into my old age these many years. I have tried some latter day Brooks saddles and find that they have changed the shape in ways that are disadvantageous for me. Other people's experience may vary. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To post to this group, send email to [email protected].
