slippery saddle?
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 had seen a few bums for test rides in the shop. I knew the new one would need some wearing in, but what surprised me is that it's *slippery*. Is that normal? Will it fix itself over time? Can/should I do anything about it? (I probably won't; inertia is my favourite pastime.) |

My old B67 has a textured surface, the new (unwanted) B17 does not and was slippery. Zebee |

I did two in 88 ring up Cape York. Thankfully it was just a matter of having a spare posted ahead to the next major location. Never had the problem since. |
