So last week I noticed I had (somehow) managed to shear through one of
the rails of my Brooks B67 saddle.
Today, I replaced it with a brand new B67. The first one came with the
bike, and presumably...

FAQ?
Does this group still have an FAQ?
I can't see one in the last few thousand posts (the rest have expired away).
