Brooks is all the hype

- Marnix, 29 June, 2022

The saddle was delivered to me nicely on time by mantle. On fitting, I found that the rails are 2 mm. narrower than the saddle I had before. And another saddle I have lying around. So the Brooks deviates from the standard size. But if you keep screwing on, the 2 mm is overcome because the rails thus expand. I wonder if that is there intention. Furthermore, I have now ridden about 250km and it is not easy. It is really rock hard. And my seat bones are bothering me a lot. I only ride it for short rides now. If I go further than 30 km, I put the other saddle on. A 10-year-old Bontrager saddle was 25€ at the time. So with me a saddle always lasts a long time. I hope with the short rides to ride the saddle in. But what a lot of effort say.

Not everyone's thing

- Marcel, 20 May, 2021

Everyone gives high reviews mine is really much less. After 250 kilometres the saddle is not going to be better it just gets worse. Settling in / getting used to it will all be fine but it's clearly not for everyone.
