There's a post on Bike Forums from a rider who had to punch holes in his B17
and lace the sides together due to sag----at 2000 miles. I have a couple of
B17s that are several years old with more miles than that, and I have no
sagging or flaring whatsoever. As a matter of fact, the saddles are still
pretty firm. I'm not a lightweight, but another poster in that thread claims
to have flaring but weighs less than I do.
I've heard grumblings that Brooks' quality is slipping because of increased
demand, and posts like those make me think that may be the case. If Brooks
saddles are going to need to be laced together at 2000 miles I think they're
going to end up with a lot of ticked off customers.
Anybody experience sagging and flaring on a Brooks with such low miles?
