Hey Gang,
My bike has felt extra bouncy lately. Filled up the tire
This happened to me on a solo tour some years ago. I moved the saddle on the
seat post so that the break was between the ends of the clamping part of the
post and finished the tour without another thought except to get it welded upon
getting home. Pal Charlie welded it and I continued to ride
John, your method sounds traumatic :)
i've replaced a of drum heads, and i wonder if some of the tricks there would
apply. it's a different sort of leather - uncured goat (thin) or uncured
african cow (thick) - but whenever i work with skin that has to be under
tension, i soak it in room temp

Hey Gang,
My bike has felt extra bouncy lately. Filled up the tires today
and they were low. Still bouncy. Looked at my brooks saddle rails and
one of them is broken. Looks like it has been that way for a little
while, too. So, good news is that the other rail is strong, bad news
is its broken.
