Hey Liz,
I must speak for more than a few of us when I say I'd love to see a photo
of your Platy! Perhaps on the group ride, or with your mechanics, or
whatever. It's always such a pleasure to put a picture with a story.
And speaking of stories, Bill, I'm sorry your Platy is gone. How did your
I live in the city and will mimic Andy‘s comments. I don’t find the flyer
bouncy and when I first started riding an Appaloosa in 2017, I was on a
B-17 and I was starting to get back pains which was alleviated with the
Flyer. It’s Great for imperfect surfaces. It is a bit heavy though. Worth
it
Hooray. I am interested to hear if it’s solved even though I lost my
Platypus to fire last night…

The derailleur hanger has been checked and is straight. And as of today I have a new cassette. I’ve heard from James at Rivendell who mentioned blue Loctite and also said that a worn cog could cause the slipping so he also suggested a new cassette. I haven’t taken my test ride yet because, as Mathi

I’d like to add a plug for the Brooks B17 Imperial.
More flexible than the B17, not springy like the B67.
I've tried all three and the Imperial is the most comfortable for me.

Yes, I stand corrected. What Mike said.

FWIW, I once installed a RD cable incorrectly such that a strand of the
cable did not exit the cable housing to the RD. The loose cable strand
bunched up inside of the cable housing which I could not see, but caused
all sorts of shifting issues. It became obvious when I disconnected the

I am down to 240 lbs now but have been much heavier. The two spring Brooks
saddles basically do nothing that I ever noticed. The three spring saddles
(B33, B73) did provide some actual softening of the ride. I currently have
a B73 on my Guv’nor.
Rule #5 is from the Velominati: “Harden the f**k up”

I use both saddles and a C17 or two. Six foot three and around 190+. I like
the Flyers for rougher surfaces like trails, or the streets of New York
City. I don't find them to be overly bouncy, especially as compared to the
B66 I use on my upright commuter.

What is rule #5? Is it a RBW-list rule or an iBob rule?

I have experience with this saddle... at least I think so. It's been nearly
forty years since I had a sprung Brooks, but "B17 with springs" sounds
about right.
Back then I weighed 175 and I liked the saddle, except that it would get
into a nasty resonance when pedaling at high cadence. I was i
I tried a Flyer on an off road bike to soften the choppy surfaces I often
rode over. I found that the springs were stiff enough that it didn’t make
much difference; certainly it did not soften such bumps like the early
suspension seatpost I had also tried. I’m 170. OTOH, the bike in question

Hi all,
I'm hoping to get some opinions on these two saddles. I know the B17 is
the right saddle for me, but I wouldn't mind a bit more cushion in certain
situations. I understand the Flyer is the same saddle but sprung. This
sounds ideal for what I'm looking for. My question is do the spr
Sure Ed, I'm happy to talk bike packing! This was the first time I'd used
the Appaloosa for bike packing. It was a lot of trail riding so I thought
it'd be the perfect choice. I used the 50mm Soma Cazaderos which were
wonderful. 50mm seems like a good size for this bike as I do a lot of

No one has mentioned doing a derailleur hanger alignment. I have one of
the park tools but I won't be up to MTL anytime soon to lend it to you (my
daughter lives there). This alignment should be done to rule out any issue
with wheel/derailleur alignment. I did this on my Platy when it was

I commute on a bike with Shimano 8-speed bar-end shifters and an old wheel
with a seven-speed cassette. Which the jumps between cogs are nearly
identical, and according to Sheldon, indexing should work fine.
Here's the thing: the tallest four gears, which is where I spend most of my

Bill: the mechanics felt that the floating/ghosting is perhaps a symptom of
the chain and the cassette not working well together…perhaps imperceptible
wear (which, of course, there should be almost no wear at this point) or
some slight misalignment/imperfection in the cogs were occasionally
